Wind turbine maker Suzlon on Monday said it has been selected as the preferred supplier for turbines from Cennergi for its 138-mw project in South Africa.
Cennergi, a joint venture between Exxaro Resources and Tata Power Company, is developing the project in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
“If definitive agreements are reached, Suzlon will deliver the turbines under a full EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) agreement,” the company said.
“South Africa is very committed to its target of installing 8,400 mw of wind energy by 2030. We are very encouraged by the consistent work being done for the sector and look forward to making significant contribution towards this target,” Suzlon Chairman Mr Tulsi Tanti said in a statement.
If the deal materialises, the construction of the project is expected to commence towards 2013.
