The Tamil Nadu Assembly’s Public Enterprises Committee visited various projects in Kanniyakumari district on Tuesday.
Led by Chairman of the Committee A. Soundarapandian, the members visited Dalmia’s Windmill at Muppandal close to Kanniyakumari–Tirunelveli border where over 3,000 windmills have been installed since this stretch experiences good wind velocity throughout the year. Power generation by the windmills installed in this region would peak between June and August as the westerly wind would lash the entire Aralvaimozhi Pass relentlessly.
Mr. Soundarapandian and the members of the Committee interacted with the personnel manning the windmills to understand the quantum of power generation during the peak season and the lean days.
