Suzlon signs 50.4 MW wind power project from Eoxis group

Greentech Lead India:
Wind turbine maker Suzlon Group has bagged a contract to set up a wind power
project in Rajasthan from UK-based Eoxis group.

Suzlon has signed a contract for a 50.4 MW wind power project with the Indian
subsidiary of Eoxis which is backed by Platina Energy Partners.
The project will be set up in Rajasthan and is scheduled to be commissioned by
January, 2013. Suzlon will execute the contract under its end-to-end business
model.
Eoxis is an investee company of Platina Energy Partners, an independent
European investment firm focusing on renewable energy.
It has invested in solar projects in Europe, and also recently completed its
first 15 MW solar project in Gujarat. This 50.4 MW order is the group’s first
investment in the Indian wind energy sector, it added.
“We have a very strategic focus on the wind sector and, in particular, on
India which is amongst the top five wind energy markets worldwide,” Laurence
Mulliez, CEO, Eoxis said.
“We are happy to partner with Eoxis in their maiden wind energy project in
India, and look forward to building a strong long-term relationship,” said
Tulsi Tanti, Chairman of the Suzlon Group.
