MUMBAI (Scrap Monster): India’s Suzlon Energy Limited, the world’s fifth largest wind turbine supplier, has gained its fourth consecutive order from GAIL - India’s state run world’s second biggest gas utility company.

The order consists of 11 units of Suzlon’s S88 - 2.1 MW wind turbines, to be commissioned in the southern states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka by the end of the financial year 2011–12.

This is GAIL’s fourth order with Suzlon, with first two projects located in Gujarat. The first 4.5MW project, comprising Suzlon’s S82 – 1.5MW turbines, was commissioned in March 2010, and the second 14.7 MW project is currently under execution.

A part of these projects is meant to fulfill GAIL’s captive power requirement, with the remainder for power sales to the respective local power distribution utilities. The sale of the power generated to the local power distribution utilities will be under the long term purchase power agreement (PPA) at the fixed preferential feed–in tariff.

Speaking on the order, Tulsi R. Tanti, founder, Chairman and Managing Director, Suzlon Group, said: “We are very pleased to announce our fourth order from GAIL, a ‘Navaratna’ PSU that has led the way with its approach to climate change mitigation and renewable energy.

“This order underscores our position as a partner-of-choice for large wind investors in India. With the strength of our future development pipeline, our customized endto-end offerings and our long term service capabilities, we are the best positioned to take advantage of the rapid growth of the Indian wind market. As we look ahead, we are very confident that we will maintain our leadership position in what is one of the most vibrant wind energy markets in the world today.”
