"We are very pleased to enter into a repeat order with Infigen Energy and build on the excellent relationship between our organisations. This order signifies Infigen's confidence in Suzlon's product and our team's commitment to delivering high quality services to our valued customers," Dan Hansen, CEO of Suzlon Energy Australia, said.

Infigen maintains a leading position in the Australian wind energy industry and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) with a market capitalisation of approximately A$1.1 billion.
"This is Infigen's second wind farm to be supplied with Suzlon's S88 - 2.1 MW turbine. We are happy to work with Infigen in providing sustainable power solutions to the Australian public, and look forward to a long and successful association in the years to come," said Sumant Sinha, COO of Suzlon Energy Limited.
