Suzlon Group bags order from Juniper Green Energy for wind farm in Gujarat
Suzlon Group, India’s premier renewable energy solutions provider, has announced securing an order for a 50.4 MW wind power project from Juniper Green Energy Private Limited. The project, set to be commissioned in 2025, involves the installation of 16 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW each, part of Suzlon’s 3 MW product series. This development marks a substantial step in the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure in Dwarka district, Gujarat.
Repeat Order for Suzlon’s Largest Turbine
This order includes Suzlon’s largest turbine yet, rated at 3.15 MW, S144-140m, a key model in the company’s 3 MW series. Suzlon will be responsible not only for supplying the wind turbines but also for executing the project, including erection and commissioning. Post-commissioning, Suzlon will also provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services.
Strong Partnership with Juniper Green Energy
JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, expressed delight at this second partnership with Juniper Green Energy, emphasizing Suzlon’s commitment to serving their customers and the nation. He said, “We are honored that [Juniper Green Energy] have partnered with us again for their wind energy project. The electricity from this project will serve the people of Gujarat, helping us deepen our contribution to the state.”
Naresh Mansukhani, CEO of Juniper Green Energy, also affirmed the partnership, focusing on the shared goal of building a sustainable India with cost-effective, Made in India, renewable energy solutions.
The Suzlon 3 MW Series
A significant element of this project is the Suzlon 3 MW series turbines. Known for their ability to harness low wind sites, these turbines feature a 144-meter rotor diameter and demonstrate up to 90% local content. They are designed to deliver improved energy yield suitable for all Indian wind regimes. The Suzlon S144 turbine is extendable up to 3.15 MW and will potentially become India’s tallest wind turbine. Its efficiency showcases Suzlon’s capability in optimizing wind resources, especially at higher altitudes.
As Suzlon Group forges ahead with this project, their 3 MW series of wind turbines stands as a testament to their innovative spirit and dedication to contributing to India’s renewable energy and net-zero targets. The project’s success will not only bolster Gujarat’s renewable energy capacity but also underscore Suzlon’s pivotal role in shaping India’s green energy landscape.
