Suzlon Group, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, has successfully clinched a substantial wind power project.
Partnering with Evren’s ABC Cleantech Private Limited, Suzlon is set to deploy 214 wind turbine generators in Andhra Pradesh. Each generator boasts a 3-megawatt capacity, contributing to a total of 642 megawatts.
This collaboration, involving Brookfield and Axis Energy in India, underscores a significant step towards boosting clean energy production for a more sustainable future.
Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, expressed the company’s commitment to collaborating with Evren to bolster green energy portfolios and contribute to India’s renewable energy objectives.
Tanti emphasized this dedication in a recent statement. Evren, a development platform initiated by Brookfield in partnership with Axis Energy, aims to construct more than 6 gigawatts of renewable energy assets within the next 2-3 years, focusing on resource-rich states in India.
JP Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer of Suzlon Group, also shared his satisfaction in making the announcement of their inaugural order with Evren, marking a significant milestone in their partnership.
This substantial project has the potential to supply electricity to approximately 528,000 households and significantly reduce about 2.087 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
Under the agreement, Suzlon will not only provide the wind turbines (equipment supply) but will also handle the installation and commissioning processes for the project. Additionally, Suzlon will be responsible for comprehensive operations and maintenance services post-commissioning.
Suman Kumar, CEO of Evren, expressed delight in partnering with Suzlon Energy for this initiative. Kumar looks forward to utilizing their expertise and operational capabilities to develop and operate a high-quality clean energy portfolio in India in the years ahead.
The statement highlights Suzlon turbines’ use of the proven Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology, known for efficiently integrating wind turbines into the utility network to meet grid requirements.
