In a significant development, Suzlon Group, a renowned renewable energy solutions provider, has proudly announced the inclusion of its S144-3 MW series of wind turbines in the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy’s ‘Revised List of Models & Manufacturers’ (RLMM). This crucial listing is a major stride toward the successful commercialization of the product, according to a statement released by the company.
The S144-3 MW series, extendable to 3.15 MW, has garnered attention for its innovative design and performance capabilities. Suzlon has already erected the first prototype at a towering hub height of 160m, utilizing a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower at the Gondal site in Gujarat. The turbine is currently undergoing serial manufacturing and commercialization processes.
Suzlon Group’s Chief Executive Officer, JP Chalasani, expressed his satisfaction with the RLMM listing, stating, “This comes at the right time after our S144 product received an enthusiastic response from the market, evident from the strong order inflow.” The CEO highlighted the turbine’s adaptability to India’s diverse wind regimes and terrains, emphasizing its customization for site-specific requirements to achieve higher Plant Load Factors (PLFs).
Designed as a true testament to ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat,’ the S144-3 MW series boasts an impressive 90% domestic content. This not only aligns with India’s push for self-reliance but also underscores Suzlon’s commitment to contributing significantly to the country’s renewable energy goals.
The RLMM listing is a crucial validation of Suzlon’s commitment to quality and innovation in the renewable energy sector. With a robust portfolio and a global presence, Suzlon Group has established itself as one of the leading renewable energy solutions providers worldwide, boasting an impressive 20.3 GW of wind energy capacity installed across 17 countries.
