Suzlon Wind Energy Corp. to Install more than 700 MW of Clean Energy in 2010

摘要

Suzlon Wind Energy Corp., the North American subsidiary of Suzlon Energy Limited, said it plans to bring online 728 MW of renewable energy in the U.S. in 2010. Suzlon Energy Limited is the world's third-largest wind turbine group. Among the nine 2010 projects, 351 newly installed turbines will produce clean energy that can power as many as 220,000 homes in seven states. In addition, these projects will create more than 50 long-term wind turbine maintenance-related jobs in rural areas. During the construction and rncommissioning of the nine wind farms across the country, Suzlon estimates that its employees will contribute $1.5 million to the local economies where they live and work. "We look forward to completing the many projects for Duke Energy, Iberdrola Renewables and others, while simultaneously funneling money back into rural economies and creating green jobs at each wind farm," said Andris Cukurs, CEO of Suzlon Wind Energy.
