Suzlon Group, a leading wind energy company, plans to invest Rs. 10,000 crore (US$ 1.05 billion) in Andhra Pradesh as part of its expansion strategy in the state. The investment includes the development of 1,325 MW of new wind projects in Rayadurg constituency of Anantapur district, which are expected to create around 4,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities. Suzlon is also targeting the development of 5 GW of additional renewable energy capacity in Andhra Pradesh by 2030. The company currently has more than 1,700 MW of installed wind energy capacity in the state and has been operating in Andhra Pradesh since 2004, with a manufacturing and project footprint in Anantapur district.
Suzlon has invested around Rs. 12,000 crore (US$ 1.26 billion) in Andhra Pradesh so far, including its rotor blade manufacturing facility at Ippuru in Kuderu mandal. The facility accounts for around 40% of Suzlon's blade production, with an annual production capacity equivalent to 1,260 MW, and supports wind projects undertaken with leading energy companies. The company's operations have generated employment for around 2,200 people in the state. Suzlon and the Andhra Pradesh government are also collaborating on a green skills development programme to prepare young professionals for the renewable energy sector. Wind Energy Learning Centres have been established in Uravakonda and Vijayawada, with around 12,000 young professionals trained, of whom women account for approximately 25%. The planned investment is expected to strengthen Andhra Pradesh's renewable energy ecosystem, expand wind power capacity and support employment and manufacturing activity in the state.
