Suzlon has secured a significant 400MW captive wind power deal with JSP Green Wind 1, a special purpose vehicle of Jindal Renewables Power, to decarbonise India’s steel-making industry.
The order, which Suzlon describes as the industry’s largest commercial and industrial (C&I) deal, adds nearly 5.4GW to its cumulative order book.
Suzlon will supply 127 turbines, each with a rated capacity of 3.15MW and featuring Hybrid Lattice Tubular towers, for installation in the Koppal region of Karnataka.
The generated power will be channelled to steel manufacturing operations, playing a crucial role in boosting their operational sustainability.
Jindal Renewables president Bharat Saxena said: “As part of our commitment to cleaner energy solutions, we are taking breakthrough steps to integrate green energy into steel-making, reducing the group’s overall carbon footprint and ensuring long-term sustainability.
“This collaboration marks the beginning of a new era in sustainable steel production, enabling us to achieve Group’s net-zero commitment by 2047.”
