The electricity generated by the two projects, which will be built in Karnataka's Koppal district, will be used to power Jindal's steel factories in Chhattisgarh and Odisha. This would allow the steelmaker to lower emissions and incorporate renewable energy into its operations.

 

Suzlon and JSP Green Wind 1, a division of Jindal Renewables, signed the agreement. Suzlon now has 702.4 MW of total commercial and industrial (C&I) orders from Jindal Renewables, which is the most for any one customer in India.

 

Bharat Saxena, president of Jindal Renewables, stated, "This project is a perfect fit with our commitment to promoting sustainability and decarbonization in the steel industry."

 

“As we continue to set the standard for the use of renewable energy solutions, our partnership with Suzlon for lower emission steel production is just the beginning, there will be many more such initiatives.” Saxena added.

 

Jindal Renewables aims to construct approximately 12GW of green hydrogen production facilities, storage facilities, and renewable energy assets by 2030. At the moment, the company is constructing roughly 3GW (gigawatt) of renewable assets.

 

As part of the project, 96 3.15 MW Suzlon S144 wind turbine generators with hybrid lattice towers will be installed. C&I clients make over 56% of Suzlon's total order book, which is currently at its highest point ever at 5.4 GW.

 

The transformation of industries that are difficult to reform, like steel, into models of sustainable growth depends on initiatives like this one. According to JP Chalasani, CEO of Suzlon Group, integrating renewable energy into industrial operations is not only a chance but also a requirement for a cleaner and greener future.
