Wind energy solutions provider Suzlon Group today said it has bagged an order for development of 197.40 MW wind power project from a leading private sector power utility in Gujarat.

Suzlon will install its S97 suite of wind turbine generators (WTGs) with 120m and 90m hub height and rated capacity of 2.1 MW each, the company said in a release issued here.

“The order win from the leading power utility underscores our commitment and focus on the domestic market. The customer faith and trust in our technology, new products and end-to-end capabilities is truly encouraging,” Suzlon Energy Chief Sales Officer Ishwar Mangal said.

The projects will be located across three sites in Kutch and Bhavnagar districts of Gujarat.

The project will be commissioned in phases with complete execution scheduled by March 2017.

Suzlon will execute the entire project on a turnkey basis and will also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services for the complete project life-cycle.

The company is credited with building one of Asia’s largest wind parks located in Kutch, Gujarat and has contributed 1,742 MW of wind energy installations across the state.
