Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation has extended its contract with PPM Energy to add 300MW of wind turbine capacity.
The original agreement calls for delivery of 300MW of turbine capacity in 2008 and 100 MW of capacity in 2009, but now has been extended to include an additional 300MW in 2009 for a total of 700MW over two years. Suzlon's S88-2.1MW wind turbine is the featured machine of the agreement and will be delivered to various ready-to-build sites across the US starting in the summer of 2008. The turbine agreement includes the total supply of 143 units in 2008 and 191 units in 2009. Suzlon is also contracted for operations, maintenance and service of the wind turbines for two years and an option for five, and will do so by expanding its service territory with new facilities to meet the demand.
