A 52 MW wind power plant that Suzlon Energy is executing for Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC) in Gujarat will be commissioned in September, a state government official said.

'The work on the project site in the Kutch region has started. It will become operational in September,' the official of the industries and mines department said.

GSPC, which has plans to develop wind power capacity of 200 MW by 2009-end on an investment of Rs.1,200 crore, had selected Suzlon Energy and Vestas Wind Systems earlier in the year after inviting bids for execution of the projects.

After completion of the first project, other sites will be allocated to the two selected companies.
