China - Suzlon awarded 100MW wind turbine supply order

Wind turbine manufacturer Suzlon Energy has announced that its Chinese subsidiary Suzlon Energy Tianjin and Inner Mongolia North Longyuan Wind Power have signed an agreement for the supply of wind turbines with a total capacity of 100MW.

The order calls for the delivery of a total of 80 units of Suzlon's S64 1.25MW turbine, in two lots of 50MW-each in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 to the project site located 120km north-east of Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China.

The site for the new project is in close proximity to Suzlon's existing Datang International Zhuozi site, which is in operation since 2007 with a total of 32 units of S64 1.25MW turbines.

Paulo Soares, CEO of Suzlon Energy Tianjin (SETL), said: "We are very pleased to win this order. North Longyuan is a joint venture between North Union Power and Longyuan, the leading wind project developer in China. North Union Power is itself a joint venture among some of the largest power developers in China, with Huaneng as its leading shareholder with 51%."
