Shares of Suzlon Energy rose marginally on Tuesday, June 30, as the company reported an order of 105 MW of wind energy from Sunsure Energy. However, the stock pared gains and was last trading at ₹57.46, rising approximately 0.4%. This came following continued investor interest in the company’s growing portfolio of renewable energy orders.
Commercial Debut of Next-Gen S175 Turbine
The current order is an important milestone for Suzlon Energy Company since it is the first time that their new S175 (5.0 MW) wind turbine generator has been commercially used in the market. According to the company, the S175 is the tallest and most powerful wind turbine in India that would offer higher energy generation and cost efficiencies.
As per the current order, Suzlon is required to provide 21 units of the S175 (5.0 MW) wind turbine generators for the installation of a project in Bijapur district of Karnataka state. The scope of work includes supply, erection, commissioning, and maintenance of the wind turbines.
With the help of 175-metre rotor and 160-metre lattice hybrid tower, the S175 is built to utilize stronger and better wind flows. This would enable the developers to use their previously unavailable wind farms.
Sunsure Energy Deepens Partnership with Suzlon
It is the third time that Sunsure Energy has placed an order with Suzlon Energy within 14 months, demonstrating the steady growth of their relationship. Adding the recent order to the previous ones makes the total volume of their collaboration amount to 400.8 MW.
Being oriented toward renewable energy around the clock for businesses, Sunsure Energy currently possesses 800 MW of installed renewable generation capacity and 8.30 GW under development/construction. The target volume of installed renewable capacity of the company in 2030 is expected to reach 10 GW.
Management Commentary on Strategic Growth
The Suzlon Group team mentioned that fast acceptance of the S175 system signifies the trust customers place in the technological capability of the company. “Developing 400.8 MW with Sunsure in a span of 14 months signifies how rapidly the C&I renewable energy market of India is growing,” remarked Ajay Kapur, CEO of Suzlon Group.
Regarding the customer’s side, Manish Mehta, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Sunsure Energy, noted that the S175 system was selected due to its capability of providing firm and dispatchable renewable energy generation for use in hybrid systems and round-the-clock energy solutions. The ambition of reaching 10 GW by 2030 for the company was backed up by the long execution history of Suzlon.
