Pune-based Serum Institute of India Ltd has placed a repeat order with Suzlon Energy Ltd for the installation 21-MW wind turbines.
The project comprising 10 units of Suzlon’s S88 2.1-MW wind turbine generators will be commissioned in Maharashtra for captive consumption.
Serum Institute has an existing 39-MW installed wind power base with Suzlon in Maharashtra. This new project takes Serum’s renewable energy portfolio to 60 MW. Under the agreement, Suzlon will supply, set-up, operate, and maintain the wind turbines for Serum Institute.
Dr Cyrus Poonawalla, Chairman, Serum Institute, said: “As an organisation, we are committed to the conservation of environment and are constantly seeking ways to reduce the carbon footprint from our business operations. We see wind as a smart option with its techno-economic maturity and comparatively lower risks.”
