‘Suzlon 2.0’ targets faster execution and lower project risk.
Suzlon Bets on Hybrid Renewables with Wind-Solar-Storage Push.
Wind energy major Suzlon Energy is overhauling its business model to move beyond wind turbine manufacturing and offer integrated renewable energy solutions combining wind, solar and battery energy storage. The new strategy, branded “Suzlon 2.0”, focuses on end-to-end project delivery—from development and EPC to lifetime operations—while keeping wind as the core optimisation driver. Vice Chairman Girish Tanti said customers are increasingly seeking faster project execution and reduced risk, prompting Suzlon to redesign its offerings around demand-led planning rather than auction-driven models. He noted that hybrid project design is most complex on the wind side, as incorrect energy mixes can increase power costs despite similar output levels. Suzlon estimates the total renewable market till FY30 at ₹12 lakh crore, spanning solar, wind and battery storage, with hybrid projects alone accounting for ₹17.25 lakh crore. By working with industrial, commercial, utility and PSU customers on three- to five-year demand planning, Suzlon aims to make projects construction-ready early, cutting execution timelines to 12–18 months and improving overall project economics.
