Suzlon Energy Bags Wind Energy Order From GSPL

Suzlon Energy Ltd. said it had bagged a repeat order from Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Ltd, or GSPL, to set up, operate and maintain ts 52.5 MW wind energy project in the Rajkot and Porbandar districts of Guajrat.

The project will be supplied in 35 units of Suzlon's model S82-1.5 MW wind turbine generators, and is scheduled to be completed and commissioned by July 2010. The power generated from this project will be purchased by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. under a long-term PPA with GSPL.

GSPL has an existing wind power project of 52.5MW in the Kutch district of Gujarat, set up and operated by Suzlon since July last year. This new project will take the group's overall wind power installed capacity to 105MW, all in the state of Gujarat.
