18 Aug 2025 CW Team

Tata Power has signed an agreement with Suzlon Energy to develop, construct, and supply 700 megawatt (MW) wind turbines in Andhra Pradesh. The Rs 60 billion project forms part of a 7 gigawatt (GW) renewable energy plan announced by Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL) and the state government in March 2025.

This marks the first wind energy project in the state since 2019. The larger 7 GW programme, covering solar, wind, and hybrid projects with or without storage, is expected to attract investments of around Rs 490 billion, making it one of the state’s largest clean energy commitments.

The turbines, Suzlon’s S144 models, will comply with the government’s revised RLMM (Revised List of Models and Manufacturers) guidelines on domestic content. They will be manufactured in Suzlon’s Andhra Pradesh facility, which was revamped and restarted operations in 2024.

Located in Anantapur, the project will connect to the central grid and is expected to generate 1,840 million units annually. It will be developed under Andhra Pradesh’s Integrated Clean Energy (ICE) Policy, which targets 160 GW of renewable capacity with potential investment of Rs 10 trillion.

As part of the March agreement with the state, TPREL will undertake feasibility studies and development activities, while NREDCAP will support site identification and evacuation infrastructure.

Andhra Pradesh, driven by its investor-friendly ICE Policy launched in October 2024 under Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, has secured significant renewable energy investments in the past year. Apart from Tata Power, NTPC Green has committed Rs 2.08 trillion, Vedanta’s Serentica Rs 500 billion, SAEL Industries Rs 60 billion, and Brookfield Rs 500 billion.
