NEW DELHI, Oct 5: Wind turbine supplier Suzlon Group today announced that it has bagged its second consecutive order from Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) to set up, operate and maintain a 8.4 MW wind energy project in Gujarat.
The contract was awarded through the tender process.
The project will comprise four units of Suzlon’s S95-2.1 MW wind turbine and will be commissioned in early 2013, the company said in a statement.
“Suzlon is happy to be partnering with the SMC for the second time in supporting them towards fulfilling their commitment towards being an environmentally responsible civic body,” Suzlon Energy Ltd CEO (India and emerging markets) Mr Rohit Modi said.
Suzlon supplied a 3 MW wind power project in 2010 for the SMC in Adodar, Gujarat.
The new project will augment SMC’s existing wind power portfolio to 11.4 MW.
Once commissioned, the project will help SMC to reduce its carbon footprint by eliminating approximately 15,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per-annum, it added. (UNI)
