Based on our analysis, 2010 is the right time for us to start business operations in the Canadian market, Tulsi Tanti, founder of Suzlon Energy said.
Tanti said that the high transportation cost of shipping wind towers and rotor blades, both massive items, is good reason to establish manufacturing close to project sites. When we decide the location for manufacturing three things are very important, Tanti said.
First, the skilled manpower. Second, the logistical costs. And third is the government tax support. Tanti said that Ontario with its skilled manufacturing base, water and lake access to US market, and supportive legislation and policies offered the right mix for Suzlon, Tanti said.
