Suzlon Energy, the world’s fifth-largest wind power equipment maker, was facing new blade production problems at a project in China’s Shandong province, said a media report.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal said, “India’s Suzlon Energy Ltd, one of the world’s largest producers of wind turbines, faces new blade-production problems.”
Earlier last year, Suzlon won a contract with Germany’s REpower Systems AG to produce blades for 75 turbines for the China project with an option to build 75 more. Quoting people familiar with the matter, the newspaper said, “REpower rejected Suzlon’s prototype for the initial blades for not meeting REpower’s quality standards and obtained them from other suppliers”.
