Suzlon has secured new EPC contract for a 400 MW wind energy project from Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd, a subsidiary of Tata Power.
This repeat order, awarded in less than 12 months, brings the cumulative partnership across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh to over 1 GW.
With this order, Suzlon’s order book in Andhra Pradesh now stands close to 1 GW, marking a key milestone in one of India’s leading wind markets. Suzlon’s current installed base in Andhra Pradesh stands at 1.8 GW, contributing to 28.44 per cent of Suzlon’s installed base in South India.
Scope of work
As a part of the new project, Suzlon will install 127 flagship S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs), with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW each. Suzlon will also deliver the project through its comprehensive EPC offering, covering land acquisition, turbine supply, Balance of Plant (BoP), pooling substation (PSS), extra high voltage (EHV) line, commissioning, and operations & maintenance services. The project is set to be executed in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.

Over the past two decades, our partnership has evolved from individual projects to advanced hybrid and round- the-clock renewable energy solutions that support India’s energy transition. As an EPC project under the DevCo model, this order demonstrates how integrated development and execution can accelerate renewable energy deployment. ”
