Of the $5 billion total project value, Suzlon Green Power will provide approximately $1.5 billion in equity. Suzlon Green Power is a closely held enterprise owned 100% by India’s Tanti family.

The company estimates that its projects will create 1,000 jobs directly and many times more indirectly, and will reduce seven million tons of CO2 equivalent per year.

Tulsi Tanti, the founder of the wind turbine company, Suzlon Energy, said: The urgent global need for clean energy compelled me to dramatically expand my family’s business holdings. Our flagship business Suzlon Energy continues to focus on developing wind power solutions, offering wind turbines to the global market.
