Suzlon Secures 302.4 MW Wind Project with Jindal Renewables
The energy generated from the project will be used to support the captive power needs of Jindal’s steel plants in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, contributing significantly to the renewable energy adoption within industrial operations.
“We are announcing the repeat order from Jindal Renewables, which further strengthens our partnership and the trust they have placed in us. This collaboration will move our joint green steel mission forward, while contributing to India's renewable energy target of 50% electricity from non-fossil fuels by 2030,” said Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group.
The new order follows a 400 MW wind power project secured by Suzlon from Jindal Renewables last month in the same region. C&I customers now make up 56% of Suzlon’s record 5.4 GW order book.
Under the agreement, Suzlon will supply 96 S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs), each with a capacity of 3.15 MW, featuring Hybrid Lattice Towers (HLT) for enhanced efficiency.
“This project aligns with our commitment to driving sustainability and decarbonisation in the steel industry. Partnering with Suzlon for lower emission steel production is just the beginning—there will be many more such initiatives as we continue adopting renewable energy solutions,” said Bharat Saxena, President, Jindal Renewables.
JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, emphasized the importance of renewable energy integration in industrial sectors. “Initiatives like this are critical for transforming hard-to-abate sectors, such as steel, into sustainable growth models. The integration of renewable energy into industrial operations is necessary for meeting energy and environmental goals. Partnerships like ours with Jindal Renewables provide an example of how industries can meet these objectives,” Chalasani said.
