Suzlon has secured a 200 MW wind energy order from Ayana Renewable Power, with the project to be executed in Madhya Pradesh and the electricity connected to the Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Limited state grid, the company said on Tuesday.
The order will involve the installation of 64 S144 wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW, according to a Suzlon statement. The project will be located at Limbawas in Madhya Pradesh and will be executed through Suzlon’s comprehensive engineering, procurement and construction offering.
The company said its scope would cover turbine supply, land acquisition, balance-of-plant work, a pooling substation, an extra-high-voltage transmission line, project commissioning, and operations and maintenance services. Suzlon described the order as its third developer-led wind project across two states, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh.
A developer-led, or devco-led, model integrates project development and execution activities, from early-stage site development through construction. Suzlon said the latest order brings the total capacity of its flagship S144 3.x MW platform past the 10 GW milestone.
“With 55 GW+ wind potential at 150 metres, Madhya Pradesh is well positioned to be one of the key states which will drive the next phase of India’s wind energy growth,” Girish Tanti, vice-chairman and co-founder of Suzlon Group, said in the statement. “We have won two consecutive wind orders from the state reflecting this growing momentum and the opportunity ahead.”
Suzlon’s chief executive officer, Ajay Kapur, said the company had secured four wind orders across the two states in a short period. He said the company’s integrated approach was intended to support the development and execution of renewable energy assets while creating additional business opportunities.
For Ayana Renewable Power, the project marks its entry into wind energy generation in Madhya Pradesh. “This project marks an important milestone for Ayana as we establish our wind presence in Madhya Pradesh,” Lakshmi Narayanan B, the company’s head of business development, said. He added that the two companies would work together to deliver long-term value and contribute to India’s clean energy transition.
The project’s connection to the state grid will require the associated pooling and extra-high-voltage infrastructure included in Suzlon’s execution scope. The company’s statement did not specify the project’s construction schedule, commissioning date, investment value or expected annual electricity generation.
