The nine projects which the company is planning to commission are located in seven states such as Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Kansas, Illinois, Idaho and Arizona. The projects include community development schemes in Minnesota and Kansas and development of the first wind farm in the state of Arizona.

The generated power from the wind turbines is enough to provide electricity to around 220,000 homes located in all the seven states. More over the wind turbine projects will provide around 50 long term employment opportunities related to wind turbine maintenance in the countryside Suzlon estimates that its employees who choose to live in the areas will contribute around $1.5 million to the local economy by way of expenses.
