India's Suzlon secures 94 MW of wind turbine orders

Indian wind turbine manufacturer Suzlon Ltd (BOM:532667) today unveiled two orders totaling 94 MW.

The company will supply 23 wind turbines of 3 MW each for a 69-MW wind project in Karnataka, slated for commissioning in 2024. The order comes from an unnamed Nordic energy company and represents the first project for the customer outside Europe.
