Suzlon Group has bagged a significantly large order for its new 3 MW series of wind turbines to develop a 300 MW wind power project for Torrent Power Ltd. Suzlon will install 100 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 3 MW each. The project is located in Karnataka and is expected to be commissioned in 2025.

This is the sixth and the largest order for the new Suzlon 3 MW series in less than a month and as part of the agreement, Suzlon will supply the wind turbines (equipment supply), provide land and execute the project including erection and commissioning. Suzlon will also provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services post-commissioning.

Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said, “Suzlon and Torrent have a long association of building several Wind Energy projects over the years. We are delighted to further strengthen this partnership with deployment of our most powerful turbine technology via the new 3 MW series. It is also wonderful to see that leading Indian corporate houses have taken on the mantle of driving India’s renewable energy journey towards achieving our nation’s net-zero targets. We remain committed to partner with India Inc. in their journey to net-zero and building a better world for our future generations.”

JP Chalasani, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, said, “We are happy to announce our fourth order with the reputed Torrent Power Limited. It is always special when we get repeat orders from esteemed customers which demonstrates their trust in Suzlon and its expertise. This is the largest order for our new 3 MW series so far, positioning the product firmly in the market. With our global R&D footprint this product brings together world class technology and customization for Indian wind regimes. The electricity generated from this project will be used to power utilities in several states increasing the reach of renewable energy in the country. Suzlon is committed to serve Indian industries through green renewable power to catalyse the nation’s economic growth while fulfilling our net-zero targets.”

Suzlon's 3 MW turbines feature a 144-meter rotor diameter and are designed to unlock low wind sites and deliver improved energy yield suitable for all Indian wind regimes. With local content of up to 85-90 percent by its serial launch, this series proves Suzlon’s commitment to innovation and self-reliance.

The 3 MW turbine generators feature the time-tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology and the SB 70.5 carbon fibre blade engineered and developed by Suzlon. This world-class technology provides the capability to utilize thinner aerodynamic profiles, resulting in excellent performance in low-wind sites, and a significant increase in generation yield per unit of land.

The 3 MW – S144 technology is all set to contribute significantly to the country's renewable energy and net-zero targets.
