Suzlon’s order

Wind turbine supplier Suzlon Energy has secured a 132 MW repeat turnkey order from India’s ReNew Power Ventures for two projects in Andhra Pradesh.

The order is for 48 units of S97120M Hybrid Tower and 15 units of S97 90m tubular tower with a rated capacity of 2.1MW each.

These units are for two sites at Elutalla and Veerbhadra in Andra Pradesh.

The projects are scheduled for completion by March 2017.

Among other projects, ReNew Power has signed a Power Purchase agreement (PPA) with the Chandigarh International Airport (CHIAL) for solar installations.

The agreement duration for the project is 25 years and was signed after a competitive bidding process, in February 2016, for 5MW installation at the airport.

Once completed the project will help CHIAL generate 8.4 million units of power annually and offset over 8,000 tonnes of Carbon emissions annually.

The power generated by the installations will be utilized for captive consumption of the airport and will reduce the cost of energy by 20%. fii-news.com
