Wind turbine maker Suzlon Group has bagged an over 50 MW wind power project in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh.

Suzlon, a leading global renewable energy solutions provider, today announced winning this order from a “leading business house”.

“The project consists of 24 units of S95 90m tubular tower with rated capacity of 2.1 MW,” the company said in a BSE filing today.

Located at Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, the project is scheduled for completion in March 2017. This order win takes the current year’s total order portfolio with the business house to 84 MW, out of which 33.60 MW was announced earlier as a part of order wins from SMEs, it said.

Suzlon will provide comprehensive operation and maintenance for a period of 20 years, and it includes dedicated life cycle asset management services to the project. The project has potential to provide power to over 27,000 households and reduce 0.10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.

“We continue to collaborate with all stakeholders for India’s sustainable development. We are witnessing increased traction across all customers segments like IPPs, large corporates and PSU’s as well as retail.

“Our focus is to bring down the cost of energy by investing in technologically advanced products and thereby enable renewable energy to make the move from alternative to mainstream energy,” Suzlon Group Group CEO J P Chalasani said.

“Suzlon’s competitive edge is the end-to-end solutions approach and we will continue to offer turnkey solutions for our customers. With our pan-India presence and technologically advanced product, Suzlon is best positioned to capitalise on the growing market opportunities in India,” he added.

The S9X 2.1 MW platform features the time-tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology which is designed to optimally harness available wind resources. It not only delivers higher energy yield, but also offers higher return on investment for customers.

Hyderabad, December 23:  

Azure Power has announced it won a 50 MW solar power project under the National Solar Mission (NSM) Phase II Batch III, which was recently put up for auction by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

Azure Power secured 50 MW of the total 100 MW capacity auctioned and will supply power to SECI for 25 years. The project will be built in the Ananthapuramu Solar Park, which is being developed by the Solar Park Implementation Agency, Andhra Pradesh Solar Power Corporation Limited (APSPCL).

The project tariff is Rs 4.43 per kWh with an additional support of Rs 12.7 million per MW from the Government of India in terms of Viability Gap Funding.

This makes the levellised tariff of this project significantly higher than the tariff of the lowest bid, including VGF, under SECI auctions in NSM Phase II Batch III.

Inderpreet Wadhwa, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Azure Power, in a statement said, “Azure Power maintains a strong track record of winning projects under every phase of National Solar Mission policy. With this win, we have once again demonstrated our strong project development capabilities.”

Azure Power has been among the active participants in several solar power auctions. With a portfolio of over 1,000 MW, the majority of the Company’s projects are with credit worthy customers backed by the sovereign Government of India.

Azure Power and Adani win projects in 150MW Andhra Pradesh solar auction

 

Two India-based developers have won the 150MW capacity available in Andhra Pradesh’s latest solar auction, which comes under the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) category.

PV firm Azure Power won two projects with a combined capacity of 100MW quoting a tariff of INR 5.12/kWh (US$0.077/kWh).

Meanwhile Prayatna Developers, an arm of Indian conglomerate Adani, won one 50MW project with a tariff of INR5.13/kWh.

Developers winning capacity in the DCR projects are required to source their solar equipment from domestic manufacturers under the central government initiative.

Jasmeet Khurana, associate director, consulting, at analyst firm Bridge to India, told PV Tech that the tariff for this DCR category is 10% higher than it was for open category projects in the state mainly due to the higher cost of domestic modules and the smaller size of these projects.

He added: “We would presume that domestic modules would be 10-15% more expensive than modules imported from China.

“Developers would have also accounted for a risk of any potential delay associated with the availability of the modules.”

Khurana also warned there have been reports on social media platforms that Tata Power Renewable Energy won a project, however, Khurana’s understanding is that this is not correct.

Other bidding developers that missed out on capacity were:

  • Yarrow Infrastructure – 5.14 (INR/kWh)
  • Hero Solar Energy – 5.25
  • ACME Solar – 5.36
  • Tata Power Renewable Energy – 5.41
  • NEEPCO – 5.70
  • Greenko Energies – 5.79
  • Renew Solar Power – 5.99
  • SkyPower Southeast Asia Holdings – 6.62

Yarrow Infrastructure once again narrowly missed out on winning any capacity having lost by a whisker in Andhra Pradesh’s 350MW National Solar Mission (NSM) auction earlier this week. In that auction, SBG Cleantech, a joint venture between Japan’s SoftBank, India’s Bharti Enterprises and Taiwan’s Foxconn, swept all 350MW and matched the previous record-low tariff in India of INR 4.63/kWh from SunEdison back in November. Both record low tariffs were for projects located in solar parks, where many development challenges are dealt with by government entities, and neither were subject to DCR requirements.

Suzlon bags 226.8 MW project in AP

 

HYDERABAD: Renewable energy player Suzlon Group on Wednesday announced that it has bagged a 226.8 MW wind power project from an independent power producer (IPP) at Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh. The project is scheduled for completion by March 2017.

The project has the potential to provide power to over 1.2 lakh households and reduce 0.48 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum, the company said.

"The order win is a testament of increased interest and investments from IPPs in the wind energy sector and we are confident that the demand from IPPs will continue to grow. We are working with most of the IPPs in India and they constitute 80% of our current order book," Suzlon Group chief executive officer JP Chalasani said.

Hyderabad, March 20:  

The Industries and Commerce Department of Andhra Pradesh has extended several benefits to Zynergy, a subsidiary of Alectrona Energy of Chennai. The project entails a Rs. 110 crore module unit and Rs. 410 crore cell manufacturing unit.

This is part of the Rs. 3,970 crore three phase project the company has proposed to the Andhra Pradesh.

Following a meeting of the State Investment Promotion Board chaired by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, it was decided to extend several concessions as per the AP Electronic Policy 2014-2020. As per the policy, the company will get 100 per cent reimbursement of stamp duty, transfer duty and registration fee paid on sale and lease deeds, capital subsidy of 10 per cent of total investment of Rs. 5 crore, 100 per cent tax reimbursement of VAT/CST for a period of 10 years subject to a maximum of 100 per cent of fixed capital investment.

The government has also decided to offer power cost reimbursement of Rs. 1 per unit for five years for a capacity between 250 MW and 500 MW of cells and modules, Rs. 1.25 per unit for five years for capacity between 500 MW to one giga watt of cells and modules and Rs. 1.5 per unit for five years for capacity of one giga watt of cells and modules. The State government is seeking to attract solar module manufacturers and wind energy equipment makers to the State. This is part of the efforts to boost renewable energy portfolio to about 9 GW by 2019-2020.

According to the statement, this surpassed the previous higher capacity addition of 3,423 MW achieved in 2015-16.

The leading states in wind power capacity addition during 2016-17 were Andhra Pradesh (2,190 MW), Gujarat (1,275 MW) and Karnataka (882 MW).

Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Telangana and Kerala reported 357 MW, 288 MW, 262 MW, 118 MW, 23 MW and 8 MW wind power capacity addition respectively during 2016-17. These figures are tentative, the statement added.

During 2016-17, MNRE took various policy initiatives in the wind energy sector, including introduction of bidding, re-powering policy, draft wind-solar hybrid policy and new guidelines for development of wind power projects.
