Wind turbine maker Suzlon Group today said that it has got a new order for 90 megawatt (MW) turnkey project from its existing customer, ReNew Power.
"The new order of 90 Mw from ReNew Power being a repeat order reaffirms industry's faith in Suzlon's product portfolio and service capabilities. Suzlon has commissioned 98.70 MW for ReNew Power so far and 100.80 MW is currently under execution in Rajasthan," the company said in a statement.
ReNew Power is one of India's independent power producers (IPPs), with clean energy assets of more than 1,000 Mw of commissioned and under-construction projects.
Suzlon will install its S97 120m hybrid tower WTGs (wind turbine generator) with rated capacity of 2.1 MW in Ratlam district of Madhya Pradesh, the statement read.
Suzlon will install 29 WTGs at Kode and 14 WTGs at Limbwas in Ratlam district. The project is scheduled for commissioning by March 2016, it said.
"The new order from ReNew Power demonstrates the customer confidence in our products and service capabilities," Suzlon Group Chairman Tulsi Tanti said.
According to the company, the S97 120m is world's tallest hybrid tower designed to harness the wind energy across low wind sites.
The tower is a combination of lattice and tubular structure which ensures higher yield and potential increase in power output by 12-14 per cent. The project has been jointly developed by ReNew Power and Suzlon.
"The reason Suzlon is our preferred partner of choice is the synergy in our mission to deliver clean energy solutions to meet India's rapidly expanding energy requirements as well as pave the way for a greener and more sustainable future," ReNew Power Chairman and CEO, Sumant Sinha said.
