Suzlon to Power Australian Wind Project

Suzlon Energy Australia has won an order to supply Australian renewable energy company Pacific Hydro with 27 wind turbines, generating a total of 56.7MW.

The turbines will be built in South Australia, in a project named Clements Gap Wind Farm, approximately 250km north of Adelaide.

The contract includes supply, installation and commissioning of the wind turbines, and a five-year maintenance contract, scheduled for completion in early 2010.

The Australian Federal Government has committed to increase renewable energy targets to 20 percent by 2020.

Suzlon Energy Australia is a subsidiary of Suzlon Energy, India's largest wind turbine manufacturer.
