Wind turbine maker Suzlon Energy has signed a contract for a 21.75 MW project with Sri Kumarswamy Mineral Exports Private Limited (SKMEPL), Bellary.
The project comprises nine units of Suzlon’s S66 – 1.25 MW and five units of Suzlon’s S88 – 2.1 MW wind turbines. The project is set to be commissioned in the Dindigul and Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu by the end of March 2013.
SKMEPL has an existing installed capacity of 29.25 MW from wind energy projects developed by Suzlon, operating in sites across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. This new order will augment the existing renewable energy portfolio.
Shantesh Gureddi, Managing Director, SKMEPL said: “In addition to the environmental benefits, wind energy is also a very good long term investment avenue for us. We intend to capitalize on its multiple revenue offerings and value creation opportunities through this project.”
