On Tuesday, Suzlon Group, based in India, unveiled its new 5 megawatt (MW) and 6.3 MW wind turbine models in Europe, targeting the continent's repowering and new-build markets. According to Executive Vice Chairman Girish Tanti, Europe is entering a significant repowering phase, which is expected to drive demand for higher-capacity, site-specific turbines. Suzlon has a strong global presence, having installed about 21.5 gigawatts (GW) of wind capacity across 17 countries, including 15.5 GW in India and nearly 6 GW internationally. In Europe, the company has approximately 660 MW of installed capacity. The European market presents a substantial opportunity, with nearly 100 GW of potential for new wind projects and 17 GW for repowering. This growth aligns with the global trend, as the wind industry installed a record 165 GW of new capacity last year, a 40% increase from 2021, largely driven by developments in China.
