Suzlon Group will contribute to decarbonisation of the hard‐to‐abate sectors by harnessing the power of wind through a significant 400 MW order from JSP Green Wind 1.
The company will supply 127 state‐of‐the‐art wind turbine generators (WTGs) with Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) towers, each having a rated capacity of 3.15 MW in the Koppal region of Karnataka.
The power generated will be used for captive consumption in Steel Plants in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, boosting their operational sustainability while advancing India's green energy goals.
With the said order, the company’s cumulative order book stood at nearly 5.4 GW.
Girish Tanti, vice chairman of Suzlon Group, said, "We are proud to partner with the Jindal Group in a bold step towards a low‐carbon future, leveraging wind power to revolutionise steel production. This groundbreaking collaboration not only redefines industrial sustainability but also aligns with India's 2070 net‐zero vision.”
Bharat Saxena, president of Jindal Renewables said, “As part of our commitment to cleaner energy solutions, we are taking breakthrough steps to integrate green energy into steelmaking, 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.”
JP Chalasani, chief executive officer, Suzlon Group, said,“Decarbonisation of the steel sector is a critical area that requires intervention if we want to realise India’s renewable energy targets. With two Indian conglomerates joining hands to reassess and empower steelmaking operations, this collaboration is a true testament to ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’. I am confident thatthis partnership will inspire many industry players to reassess their operations, as we collectively work toward a more sustainable future.”
