Suzlon Wins Largest Wind Energy Order from NTPC Green

Suzlon Energy has been awarded a 1166 MW wind energy project by NTPC Green Energy, the renewable energy arm of NTPC Limited. This project, set to be implemented in Gujarat, is poised to become the largest wind energy initiative by a public sector unit (PSU) in the country.

The project entails the installation of 370 wind turbine generators (WTGs) of the S144 model, each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW, equipped with Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) towers. These turbines will be deployed across two projects of NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy, and one project of IndianOil NTPC Green Energy Pvt Ltd, a group company of NTPC Green Energy. This order significantly bolsters Suzlon’s order book, bringing it close to 5 GW as of September 3, 2024. Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This collaboration with NTPC Green Energy is a significant milestone for us, marking our return to the PSU customer segment. It also underscores our commitment to accelerating India’s renewable energy transition.”

The project aligns with NTPC Green Energy’s ambitious target of adding 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032. Upon completion, it is expected to substantially contribute to India’s energy self-sufficiency and economic prosperity, setting a new benchmark for future projects in the renewable energy sector.

This partnership between Suzlon and NTPC Green Energy underscores the growing momentum towards sustainable energy solutions in India, highlighting the nation’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting clean energy initiatives. As the project progresses, it is anticipated to create numerous employment opportunities, stimulate local economies, and contribute significantly to India’s renewable energy goals.
