Suzlon bags 1,166 MW wind energy order from NTPC Green Energy

New Delhi: Renewable energy solutions provider Suzlon announced on Monday that it has secured India’s largest wind energy order of 1,166 MW from NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL). Suzlon will install 370 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with S144 blades, equipped with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower, each having a rated capacity of 3.15 MW.

These turbines will be installed across two projects of NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a subsidiary of NGEL, and one project under IndianOil NTPC Green Energy Pvt Ltd, a group company of NGEL, in Gujarat. This significant order raises Suzlon's cumulative order book to approximately 5 GW as of September 3, 2024.

"We are proud to partner with NTPC Green Energy Ltd, the renewable arm of India’s largest utility, NTPC Ltd, as the nation’s leading Wind Energy Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)," said Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group.

This project is set to be the largest wind energy initiative led by a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) in Gujarat, further solidifying the state’s leadership in renewable energy. Upon completion, it will create a new benchmark, significantly advancing India’s energy self-reliance, economic growth, and NGEL's target of adding 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.

Suzlon will be responsible for supplying the wind turbines, executing the project, including erection and commissioning, and providing operations and maintenance services after project commissioning.
