Suzlon Group, the world’s fifth largest wind turbine manufacturer today announced via their fully owned US based subsidiary SWECO (Suzlon Wind Energy Corp) its agreement to supply PowerWorks up to 98.7 MW of wind turbines. As per the agreement, Suzlon Group will supply up to 47 WTG’s and will oversee the operations, maintenance and service of the wind turbines for a period of two years.

The Group will supply up to 29 units of the S97 2.1 MW wind turbines and 17 units of the first S111 2.1 MW wind turbines for projects in California and Illinois, including the Panther Creek wind project. Rick Koebbe, President of PowerWorks, said “PowerWorks is excited to join Suzlon in bringing two new wind projects to the market. These projects demonstrate PowerWorks commitment to competitive wind energy and to the continued build-out of our development pipeline.” PowerWorks will start taking delivery of wind turbines in the summer 2015.

Duncan Koerbel, CEO of Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation said “We have a 2 pronged strategy for expansion, first by expanding our customer base and by selling our newest and most efficient turbine model, the S111. The S111 blade profile has an optimum pressure coefficient distribution which is ideal for lower wind sites, in a variety of climates, including those at higher altitudes.
