Suzlon Energy has secured a 105 MW order from Sunsure Energy for its newly launched S175 (5.0 MW) wind turbine platform. The order, received just two weeks after the product launch, marks a strong commercial debut for the S175 series and reinforces customer confidence in the company's technology. This is Sunsure Energy's third order with Suzlon in 14 months, taking the cumulative partnership to 400.8 MW.

Project Details

The project scope encompasses the supply, erection, commissioning, and maintenance of 21 next-generation S175 wind turbine generators (WTGs). The turbines will be installed in the Bijapur district of Karnataka. Powered by a 175-meter rotor and a 160-meter hybrid lattice tower, the S175 is engineered to access stronger wind regimes to enable higher energy yields.

Strategic Significance

Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, highlighted that Sunsure Energy has grown into one of India's largest commercial and industrial (C&I) focused renewable energy providers. He noted that the partnership has scaled from a 2.1 MW platform to the new 5 MW S175 turbine. Manish Mehta, Co-Founder & Chief Commercial Officer of Sunsure Energy, stated that the S175 is purpose-built for firm and dispatchable power, supporting their ambition of becoming a 10 GW platform by 2030.

Ajay Kapur, Chief Executive Officer of Suzlon Group, expressed confidence that the project would serve as a case study in effective energy generation. He emphasized that developing 400.8 MW with Sunsure Energy in 14 months reflects the rapid scaling of India's C&I renewable market and the trust placed in Suzlon's execution capabilities.

Suzlon Energy has secured a new 400 MW EPC order from Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), bringing their cumulative partnership to over 1 GW. This repeat order, awarded in less than 12 months, spans projects across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, reinforcing Suzlon's position in the Indian wind energy market.

400 MW EPC Order Details

The project will be executed in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. Suzlon will supply 127 units of its flagship S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs), each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW. The company will provide comprehensive EPC services, including land acquisition, turbine supply, Balance of Plant (BoP), Pooling substation (PSS), Extra High Voltage Line (EHV), commissioning, and operations & maintenance services.

Strategic Partnership Growth

With this new order, Suzlon's orderbook in Andhra Pradesh approaches 1 GW, while its total installed base in the state stands at 1.8 GW. This represents 28.44% of Suzlon's installed base in South India. The collaboration with TPREL, a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, now covers four states and signifies a shift towards integrated development and execution models.
