Suzlon secures 400 MW wind EPC order from Tata Power Renewables
Suzlon Energy Limited has secured a 400 MW engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) for a wind power project in Andhra Pradesh. The order takes the cumulative partnership between the two companies to more than 1 GW across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
The project will be developed in Anantapur district under Suzlon’s DevCo-led business model. As part of the contract, the company will install 127 units of its S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs), each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW.
Suzlon’s scope of work includes land acquisition, supply of wind turbines, Balance of Plant (BoP), pooling substation (PSS), extra high voltage (EHV) transmission line, commissioning, and operations and maintenance (O&M).
With this order, Suzlon’s orderbook in Andhra Pradesh now stands close to 1 GW, complementing its existing installed base of 1.8 GW in the state, which accounts for 28.44% of Suzlon’s installed capacity in South India.
Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said: “Tata Power operates one of India’s largest renewable energy portfolios, and we are proud to have surpassed 1 GW in cumulative orders with them across four states. Over the past two decades, our partnership has evolved from individual projects to advanced hybrid and round-the-clock renewable energy solutions that support India’s energy transition. As an EPC project under the DevCo model, this order demonstrates how integrated development and execution can accelerate renewable energy deployment.”
Ajay Kapur, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, added: “As customers seek execution certainty, EPC is emerging as the preferred model for renewable energy deployment. Suzlon’s proven end-to-end execution enables customers to de-risk projects and scale with confidence. We believe this integrated delivery model will play a critical role in accelerating India’s next phase of renewable energy growth.”
