Suzlon Group secures 195 MW repeat order from Sunsure Energy
Pune, May 22 (TNT): Suzlon Group on Friday said it has secured a repeat order of 195 MW from Sunsure Energy, taking total sales of its 3 MW platform to nearly 9 GW.
The latest order expands the ongoing partnership between Suzlon and Sunsure to nearly 300 MW across Maharashtra and Karnataka, with further growth expected.
Under the project, Suzlon will install 65 S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs), each with a capacity of 3 MW, in Karnataka’s Bijapur district.
The company will supply the turbines and execute the project, including erection and commissioning, besides undertaking comprehensive operations and maintenance services after commissioning.
With the fresh order, Suzlon’s orderbook in Karnataka has crossed the 2 GW mark, reinforcing the state’s position as one of India’s leading wind energy markets.
Suzlon currently has an installed base of 1,500 MW in Karnataka, accounting for 24 per cent of its installed base in South India.
The company said it is also executing additional commercial and industrial (C&I) projects in Karnataka with a combined capacity of 664 MW.
Girish Tanti, Executive Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, said India’s growing focus on renewable energy, especially wind energy, is playing a key role in building an energy-secure future.
“Karnataka has emerged as our largest market by orderbook with over 2 GW orders, making it a top priority market for us alongside Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Maharashtra,” he said.
Shashank Sharma, Chief Executive Officer of Sunsure Energy, said the partnership with Suzlon would help accelerate the company’s round-the-clock renewable power portfolio aimed at supporting industries, data centres, electric mobility and wider electrification.
Ajay Kapur, Chief Executive Officer of Suzlon Group, said the repeat order reflects customer confidence in Suzlon’s execution capabilities, technology platform and lifecycle support services.
