India's largest wind turbine manufacturer Suzlon Energy bagged two orders from Australia based companies.

The contracts, totaling over 200 MW of capacity, were signed with Sydney's RPV and utility-major AGL Energy.

"We are very pleased to partner with RPV and AGL Energy to deliver sustainable power solutions in Australia. The large size of the orders, and AGL's repeat-order, demonstrate our ability to deliver total wind farm solutions to the exacting expectations of our customers," Dan Kofoed Hansen, CEO–SEA, said.

The first contract, from Sydney-based Renewable Power Ventures, calls for the delivery of 63 units of Suzlon S88–2.1 MW wind turbine, translating to 132 MW of capacity.

The second contract, a repeat contract from AGL Energy, calls for the delivery of 34 units of Suzlon's S88 turbine translating to 71.4 MW of capacity.

"With its plentiful windy sites and a growing economy, we believe Australia is key market for wind energy," Andre Horbach, CEO of Suzlon Group stated.

Suzlon Energy is one of the leading players in the wind energy industry. The company has come to the fore of the business by strategically focusing on integrated value chain and entering into high growth markets.
