Gujarat overtook Tamil Nadu last year with the highest installed wind energy capacity. Investors and wind energy generators in Tamil Nadu are now seeking measures to revive the wind energy sector in the State.
According to data available online, Gujarat has an installed wind energy capacity of 10, 415 MW compared with 10, 124 MW in Tamil Nadu. Of this, the installed wind energy capacity connected to the Tamil Nadu grid is 8,923.89 MW.
A.D. Thirumoorthy, a member of the State-level Renewable Energy Committee, told The Hindu that just about 300 MW was added to the existing installed wind energy capacity in Tamil Nadu last year. The State, he said, has the potential to have at least 3,000 MW of additional installed capacity.
