Suzlon has signed a contract with Sunsure Energy for a 100.8 MW wind energy project. This marks Sunsure’s entry into the wind power sector. The project will be located in the Jath region of Maharashtra and is part of a broader initiative to increase the use of renewable energy among major power producers. It also supports India’s goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
Under the agreement, Suzlon will supply and install 48 S120 wind turbine generators. Each turbine has a 2.1 MW capacity and will be mounted on Hybrid Lattice Towers. The deal also includes the installation, commissioning, and long-term operation and maintenance of the turbines.
This project will expand Sunsure Energy’s portfolio and contribute to its mission of providing reliable renewable energy solutions to customers in Maharashtra. It also reflects the growing interest among Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in wind energy as a dependable and cost-effective power source.
JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, emphasized the importance of widespread wind energy adoption by large-scale producers to meet India’s clean energy targets. He highlighted that wind energy offers a practical and affordable solution for reliable power while driving growth and innovation within the sector.
Vivek Srivastava, CEO of Suzlon India Business, expressed optimism about the collaboration with Sunsure. He noted that this partnership marks a significant step in Sunsure’s transition to wind energy and emphasized Suzlon’s commitment to working with more IPPs to scale renewable energy use in India.

He said it would enhance their ability to provide round-the-clock green energy solutions and strengthen their renewable energy portfolio. He also added that the partnership with Suzlon would help them meet India’s long-term sustainability goals.
