It’s undeniable that Gujarat is rapidly asserting itself as a number one state for development projects and investments. The Vedanta-Foxconn chip project may have ended abruptly but the state continues to enjoy a bonanza season in mega projects.
The latest is the Suzlon group, an acclaimed renewable energy solutions provider, bagging an order for a 47.6 MW wind power project from KP Group in Gujarat.
The project, located at Vagra in Bharuch district in Gujarat, is expected to kick off in 2024, according to a certain section of the media.
The firm said in a statement that the project should provide electricity to 36,000 households and curb 1.42 lakh tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
“Suzlon will supply their S133 wind turbines (equipment supply) and supervise the execution and commissioning of the project. Suzlon will also provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services post-commissioning,” the company said.
JP Chalasani, chief executive officer, Suzlon Group was quoted as saying, ‘‘The power generated from this project will serve the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) consumer segment, which is a key segment to drive deeper penetration of renewables in India. Suzlon is committed to partnering with an increasing number of Indian industries, driving them toward their net-zero targets while powering the nation with sustainable energy.’’
Farukbhai Gulambhai Patel, chairman and managing director, KP Group added, “This project is in line with our goal to unlock India’s renewable energy potential and power the commercial and industrial sectors. As India’s leading renewable energy solutions provider with proven technology, Suzlon is the right partner for us. We have had a long and fruitful association with Suzlon in the past using their cost-effective Made-in-India solutions to create an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.”
