Suzlon achieves a milestone by installing its 10,000th Wind Turbine Generator
- Global fleet producing ~ 32 TWh per annum of wind energy, equivalent to powering approximately 9 million households annually
- Demonstrates Suzlons evolving technological and manufacturing prowess and project execution capabilities
Pune, India: Suzlon Group, one of the leading wind turbine manufacturer, announced a significant
milestone achievement of installing its 10,000th WTG (wind turbine generator) during the first half of
2015. Suzlon has come a long way since its maiden turbine installation in the state of Gujarat, India
in 1995.
With over two decades of operating history, Suzlon Group has cumulative installations of over 14 GW
of wind energy capacity with operations across over 17 countries and customer base of more than
1700.
Mr. Tulsi Tanti, Chairman, Suzlon Group said , Suzlons operations commenced in 1995 with just a
handful of people and along the way built a team that made it possible to achieve the installation of
this commendable feat. This milestone reinforces the confidence our customers have on Suzlon and
also on its products and project execution capabilities. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
all our customers for their continuous belief on us and our employees for their relentless support.
We will continuously work at reducing the cost of energy by about 15 per cent by 2020 and heavily
invest in R&D and innovation. I am confident that wind energy will play a pivotal role in changing the
global energy landscape and Suzlon is best positioned to tap this growing opportunity for a greener
tomorrow.
Suzlon continues to leverage its technological edge to introduce path breaking products aimed at
higher yields and ensuring higher ROI to customers. The products like S97-120m hub height hybrid
tower and the soon to be launched S111-2.1MW Turbine, the largest rotor diameter WTG are
industry game changers, engineered for low wind sites.
Suzlons state of the art product offerings and best in class service are developed to harness the
optimal available wind resources across diverse geographies that deliver higher energy, productivity
and improved serviceability.
Suzlon's end to end solutions approach as a component manufacturer, wind turbine manufacturer,
project development & execution capabilities and dedicated Life Cycle Asset Management services
gives it the competitive edge.
