Tata Power with Suzlon Energy will set up a 700 megawatt (MW) wind power project in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, as per the MoneyControl reports. The project will be linked to the central grid and is expected to generate about 1,840 million units of electricity annually. This will be the first wind power project in the state since 2019.
The project involves an investment of ₹6,000 crore and is part of a memorandum of understanding signed in March 2025 between Tata Power and the state government. Under the agreement, Tata Power aims to develop renewable energy capacity of up to 7 gigawatts (GW) in Andhra Pradesh.
Tata Power has signed a supply agreement with Suzlon Energy for S144 wind turbine generators. The turbines and key components, including blades, gearboxes, generators, and towers, will be manufactured at Suzlon’s facility in Andhra Pradesh. The factory was refurbished and resumed operations in 2024.
The project will be developed under the Integrated Clean Energy Policy announced by the Andhra Pradesh government in October 2024. The policy targets the addition of over 160 GW of renewable capacity in five years, with a stated investment potential of ₹10 trillion and employment generation of around 7.5 lakh jobs.
