Suzlon Group has secured a new order for the development of a 29.4 MW of wind installed capacity for BrightNight. The global renewable power producer's 100 MW co-located wind-solar hybrid project is located at at Osmanabad in Maharashtra.

Suzlon will install 14 units of S120-140m wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 2.1 MW each. Suzlon will undertake the supply, installation, and commissioning, as part of the scope. Additionally, it will also provide post-commissioning operation and maintenance (O&M) services.

The project is expected to be commissioned in phases, starting April 2024. Electricity generated from the project will be supplied to Commercial and Industrial (C&I) customers in the state.

The plant is specially designed to meet energy savings requirements, the wind-solar configuration is optimised, enabling consumers to achieve up to 80 percent of greening of their overall consumption.

A project of this size can provide electricity to approx. 50 thousand households and curb around 2.5 lakh tonne of CO2 emissions per year.

BrightNight's India operations is geared towards developing multi-tech, hybrid, dispatchable renewable projects. It recently announced a USD 250 million partnership with ACEN, an Ayala Group company, for expanding its portfolio of projects in India.
