    Suzlon Energy Secures 400 MW Wind Energy EPC Order from Tata Power Renewable Energy

    Mumbai: Suzlon Energy has secured a 400 MW Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract from Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), further strengthening the long-standing partnership between the two companies. The latest project will be developed in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, and increases their cumulative collaboration across four Indian states to more than 1 GW.

    The new order also takes Suzlon’s total order book in Andhra Pradesh to nearly 1 GW, while the company already has an installed wind energy base of 1.8 GW in the state, accounting for over 28% of its installed capacity in South India.

    127 Advanced Wind Turbines for the Project

    As part of the project, Suzlon will install 127 S144 wind turbine generators (WTGs), each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW.

    The company will provide a comprehensive EPC solution that includes land acquisition, turbine supply, pooling substations, balance of plant works, extra-high-voltage transmission lines, project commissioning, as well as long-term operations and maintenance services.

    Partnership Crosses 1 GW Milestone

    Commenting on the development, Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, said the company is proud to have crossed the 1 GW milestone in cumulative orders with Tata Power across Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh.

    He noted that the two companies’ partnership has evolved over the past two decades from individual wind projects to advanced hybrid and round-the-clock renewable energy solutions supporting India’s clean energy transition.

    EPC Model Driving Renewable Energy Growth

    Ajay Kapur, Chief Executive Officer of Suzlon Group, highlighted that the EPC model is becoming the preferred approach for renewable energy development in India.

    According to him, Suzlon’s end-to-end project execution capabilities help customers reduce project risks while enabling faster and more efficient deployment of renewable energy assets.

    Suzlon Share Performance

    Following the announcement, Suzlon Energy shares were trading at ₹57.62 on the NSE during afternoon trading on June 25. The stock has gained nearly 6.8% over the past month and around 9.9% year-to-date, although it remained below its 52-week high of ₹68.30, recorded in July 2025.

    Outlook

    The new 400 MW contract reinforces Suzlon’s position as one of India’s leading wind energy solution providers and highlights the growing demand for EPC-based renewable energy projects. As India accelerates its clean energy expansion, partnerships between experienced developers like Suzlon and Tata Power Renewable Energy are expected to play a crucial role in meeting the country’s renewable energy capacity targets.

  • Odisha Targets 11 GW Renewable Energy Capacity by 2030

    Odisha Targets 11 GW Renewable Energy Capacity by 2030

    Odisha has unveiled an ambitious clean energy roadmap targeting 11 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, positioning itself as a premier destination for green investments in India.

    To back this vision, the state government has approved 16 clean energy projects totaling nearly ₹2 lakh crore in investments, alongside massive upgrades to its electrical grid infrastructure.

    A Massive Influx of Clean Energy Capital

    Speaking at the Energy Conclave 2026 in Bhubaneswar—organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Department of Energy—Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo highlighted surging investor confidence.

    Beyond the approved ₹2 lakh crore project pipeline, Odisha drew an additional ₹67,000 crore in renewable energy proposals during its investors’ meet in February. These proposals represent approximately 6.7 GW of capacity across multiple technologies, including:

    • Solar power
    • Wind energy
    • Pumped storage hydro projects
    • Hybrid energy systems

    These developments are foundational to the state’s Vision 2047, which aims to secure long-term sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

    Upgrading Grid Reliability and Infrastructure

    Integrating a massive influx of variable green power requires major infrastructure updates. The state is directing approximately ₹30,000 crore toward expanding its transmission network.

    As part of this broader initiative, Vishal Kumar Dev, Additional Chief Secretary of the Energy Department, announced an immediate ₹4,500 crore allocation specifically aimed at boosting transmission and distribution reliability.

    Furthermore, to combat grid flexibility challenges and manage peak loads, Odisha is actively developing battery energy storage projects at six strategic locations across the state.

    Beyond Solar and Wind: Green Hydrogen and Innovation

    Odisha’s extensive coastline and heavily built-out industrial corridors make it uniquely suited for next-generation clean fuels. The state is leveraging its geographical advantages to attract investments in green hydrogen and green ammonia production, aimed directly at decarbonizing heavy manufacturing sectors like steel and aluminum.

    To fuel this transition, Odisha is establishing a clean energy innovation ecosystem, fostering active research collaborations with local Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and prominent research institutions in Singapore.

    Looking Ahead: Global Energy Leaders Summit 2026

    To foster deeper global ties among project developers, financiers, and technology innovators, officials announced that Bhubaneswar will soon play host to the Global Energy Leaders Summit 2026.

    With clear policy frameworks and major grid investments underway, Odisha is rapidly transforming into a heavy-hitting hub for green manufacturing and industrial decarbonization over the next four years.
