PUNE: Suzlon Group, India’s leading renewable energy solutions provider, has announced a new order win for the development of 29.4 MW of wind installed capacity for BrightNight’s 100 MW co-located wind-solar hybrid project in Osmanabad, Maharashtra. The project will be commissioned in phases, beginning in April 2024, and will provide electricity to commercial and industrial customers in the state.
The project will feature 14 units of Suzlon’s S120-140m wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 2.1 MW each. Suzlon will execute the project with a scope of supply, installation, and commissioning, as well as post-commissioning operation and maintenance services.
JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, expressed his happiness in securing the first order with BrightNight, a global renewable energy Independent Power Producer (IPP) with a rapidly growing footprint in India. He added that the power generated from this project will target the C&I customer segment, creating deeper penetration of renewable energy in India.
BrightNight CEO Martin Hermann said that India presents an exciting market opportunity for the company to deliver its differentiated renewable offering, providing capacity and reliability through hybridized solutions. He added that Suzlon will be a valued partner in helping them build out this best-in-class project for their C&I customers in India.
The project is expected to provide electricity to around 50,000 households and curb 2.5 lakh tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. Every Suzlon turbine has over 80%-90% of domestic content and is manufactured in the country through a thriving domestic value chain, contributing to the vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat.’
Overall, the project is a testament to Suzlon’s leading technology and comprehensive capabilities throughout the wind energy value chain, as well as its commitment to partnering with increasing numbers of Indian industries to drive them towards their net-zero targets while powering the nation with sustainable energy.
