Suzlon Group, wind turbine manufacturer, said it has entered into a contract with Continuum Wind Energy, an independent power producer (IPP), for the supply, erection and commissioning of 40 units of S95 – 2.1 MW turbines, corresponding to 84 MW, in the financial year 2012-13.
“We are pleased to receive this order from Continuum Wind Energy, and look forward to partnering with the company in its ambitious plans for the wind energy sector in India," said Rohit Modi, CEO, India and emerging markets, Suzlon Energy Limited.
The S95 turbine with its 95 meter rotor diameter is part of Suzlon’s S9X suite, which features larger and more efficient rotors, increased hub heights and technology enhancements, like the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) technology. They are designed to harness power efficiently from lower wind speed sites.
“This project is a part of our plan to be a leading wind IPP with a focus on the development of efficient wind farms," Arvind Bansal, CEO, Continuum Wind Energy said.
