Suzlon Group has been contracted by Teq Green Power XI Private Limited, part of O2 Power Private Limited, to install 64 of its largest wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a hybrid lattice tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 3.15 MW each for the 201.6 MW wind power project. The contract includes erection, commissioning, and post-commissioning operation and maintenance services, in addition to supplying the equipment. The project is expected to be commissioned in 2025.

Suzlon Group’s 3 MW series of wind turbines have a primary objective of increasing generation, reducing the cost of energy, and contributing to an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, marking a significant milestone for the company and the country’s wind energy sector. The series features a 144-meter rotor diameter and is designed to unlock low wind sites and deliver improved energy yield suitable for all Indian wind regimes. The S144 wind turbine generator is one of the largest in India, extendable up to 3.15 MW, depending on site wind conditions, available at a hub height of 140 meters going up to 160 meters by its serial launch. At 160 meters hub height, the S144 will also be India’s tallest wind turbine. Suzlon’s S144 fleet will deliver a remarkable 40-43 percent higher generation over the current model, the S120 – 2.1 MW wind turbine, allowing optimization of wind resources at higher altitudes and making low-wind sites viable. The series has been developed with a local content of up to 85-90 percent by its launch.

Furthermore, the 3 MW turbine generators feature the time-tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology and the SB 70.5 carbon fiber blade engineered and developed by Suzlon. The technology provides the capability to utilize thinner aerodynamic profiles, resulting in excellent performance in low-wind sites, and a significant increase in generation yield per unit of land.
