Suzlon Energy's subsidiary, Suzlon Wind Energy Corp, received an order for 15 S97-2.1 megawatt (MW) wind turbines for Amherst Project in Nova Scotia (Canada). The project will be completed in March 2012. This is an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with total installation of 31.5 MW.
The S9X wind turbines take advantage of low-to-moderate wind speeds. "The features of S9X-2.1 MW turbine deliver a high return on investment for the customer," said Andris Cukurs, CEO, Suzlon Wind Energy Corp.
The project at full capacity can power more than 11,000 homes in Canada. Pursuant to a ten-year warranty, maintenance and service pact, Suzlon will provide operation services to the Amherst project.
Suzlon Group had secured 300 MW orders from Canada in January this year.
