Threats

Environmental Awareness
Environmental awareness has increased. This factor is favourable for the
wind power energy as its an option to thermal power. Suzlon is the market
leader in India and has a strong global presence in this therefore, there is a
high growth opportunity for Suzlon in future horizon.
Government Initiatives
Govt. is providing tax exemption ,accelerated depreciation tax benefits and
also providing subsidies for encouraging investment in remote areas of the
country to generate employment.
Untapped offshore markets
Suzlon can have advantage of covering untapped offshore market. India
has a coast line of 7600 km. Offshore wind turbines generally yields 40%
higher outputs than turbines on onshore sites. So offshore expansion will
be profitable to Suzlon.
Steady growth in demand
Increased electricity demand, environmental concerns and depleting
sources of fossil fuels have increased the demand of renewable energy
sources. Hence Suzlon can leverage from this growth in demand.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths

Weaknesse
s

Opportunit
ies

Threats

High Competition
The govt. of India has approved FDI limits up to 74%. Although Suzlon is a
market leader, its technology efficiency is not as compared to global giants like
VASTAS, GE Wind etc. So this initiative can be a threat for Suzlon.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Due to global presence of Suzlon, there is default risk of exchange rate
fluctuations. The exchange rates are highly fluctuating since last couple of
years and hence it has become riskier for Suzlon to do business globally.
Technology Risk
Suzlon has to implement the fast changing technologies to compete in the
market otherwise it will lose the competitive advantage.
Hindrances / Objections to Wind Power
The main objection to wind power is due to other environmental costs. Many
wind parks remain shut-down for a part of the year because of bird migration.
Larger turbines produce more power, but they also take more land to operate
safely and effectively. Many eco-warriors object to the installation of wind parks
by lobbying the govt. to look for alternative sources of energy.

The Product & Project Management Organization ensures that customer expectations
are met.
The functional organization focuses on the technical side of the business.
Issues with the current Organizational Structure
The employees may experience dual authority like reporting to two bosses .
The matrix structure forces the managers to spend a great deal of time in meetings,
hence time consuming

Currently Suzlon is operating in more than 30 countries and expanding.

In the near future as Suzlon increases its foothold to other

Potential New Target Markets


Argenti
na

Its wind resources are unrivalled in the Latin American region and estimated
to be enough to supply the regions entire electricity demand several times
over, but till date only a tiny amount of the potential, 60 MW has been
developed .

Thailan
d

High GDP growth of 8% has led to a dramatic rise in electricity consumption


and approx. 30 GW of new generation capacity will be needed by 2021. The
government has set a target of renewable energy from 6.4% in 2008 to 20%
in 2022, with an 800 MW target for wind capacity.

Philippi
nes

The country has a present generation capacity of 33 MW of wind power, but


the potential is estimated at around 55 GW. The government has set a
target for 40% of its electricity to be generated by renewable sources by
2020, up from the current 33%.

Mexico

The country has an outstanding wind resource, especially in the Oaxaca


region. Its installed wind capacity has increased more than 5 times since
the end of 2009.

Others

After the recent nuclear disaster Japan is planning to switch alternate


sources of energy like wind power, solar, etc.
Other countries such as Uruguay, Egypt, Morocco also have promising wind
energy potential.

Proposed Strategic Initiatives


Repowering and Recycling

Wind-Solar Hybrid Systems

Gearless turbine - Direct Drive Technology

Blue Ocean Strategy-B2C

Brand Promotion Social Media

Repowering and Recycling

Repowering involves the replacement of old WTGs with new and more cost
efficient WTGs.
According to industry research, over 10,500 machines that were installed during
the mid 80s and 90s will soon be replaced by larger, more efficient turbines.

84% of nacelle can be recycled

93% of Tower parts can be recycled

42 % of the rotor parts can be recycled

52% of other parts can be recycled

Our Recommendation

Repowering is one of the growth drivers to the future market for wind power

Suzlon should also initiate recycling dismantled wind turbines as well as


production of more MWh
per kilogram wind turbine.

Wind-Solar Hybrid Systems


Hybrid systems make optimal use of sunlight and wind speeds - the two
main resources readily available.
These can be integrated with different energy sources such as PV or diesel
generators and requires little maintenance and can be easily assembled
and installed on site.
Typical applications range from house or village electrification, small
enterprises to water pumping and is ideal for electrification of remote
areas where reliable power supply is not available and eliminates reliance
on power grids.
Street Lamps using Wind Solar Hybrid technology are already a growing
market
Suzlon being a leading player should work on to tap the big potential the
sector has been offering.
The product has scope to be commercialized on a global scale and will
increase the foothold of Suzlon in foreign markets.

Gearless turbine - Direct Drive


Technology

Suzlon needs to upgrade its existing


turbines and also add new products to its
portfolio

Gearless wind turbines which work on


direct-drive generator technology making
them more efficient and cost effective to
maintain.

Conventional gearboxes used in turbines


are quite vulnerable to failure

Maintaining geared turbines for offshore


installations incurs high repair costs

Gearless turbines still a developing


technology

Huge market potential in Europe, US and


Asia in the next decade.

Our Recommendation:

Acquire a company in the


domestic market which has
expertise on direct-drive
generator technology and
leverage on the technology

Blue Ocean Strategy - B2C


Vast majority of consumers today want to
access more Renewable energy
Surveys shows that 90 per cent of consumers
globally want more renewable energy ahead
of further investments in fossil fuels and
nuclear plants.
65 per cent of people claim they would
like to buy products made using wind
energy

B-to-C
Consum
ers

The Road Ahea

Suzlon should target more B-to-C


companies. It can mean fast-tracking
of more renewable and wind energy
Suzlon can move ahead of the
competition and create a blue ocean
by
indirectly
targeting
B-to-C
consumers and thus boost wind
turbine sales.

Strategy - Medium Term

Support Wind R&D in private sectors and educational institutions like


IITs.
Target firms which exceed pollution limits with its signature end-toend services.
Manufacture when business stable & market developed or consider
Acquisitions
Explore opportunities in African and South East Asian markets
Focus on offshore markets
Through forward integration venture in electricity generation through
