FOWIND Project Progress Overview: Indo-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation

This project, granted under the Indo-European cooperation on renewable energy, aims to promote offshore wind power to facilitate India's transition towards a low-carbon energy future. Key objectives include feasibility studies, resource mapping, and capacity-building to develop an offshore wind development outlook for India up to 2032. The project, implemented by a consortium led by Global Wind Energy Council, has achieved significant milestones over its implementation period. Feasibility assessments and reports on offshore wind in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu have been published, with additional initiatives like LiDAR installations and stakeholder workshops contributing to the project's success. Detailed reports and findings are available for download on www.fowind.in.

  3. Background Supported through a grant of EUR 4 million from the European Union Delegation to India and IMPLEMENTED in close cooperation with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy by : Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) led consortium that includes : • DNV GL (Technical Lead) • World Institute of Sustainable Energy • CSTEP Also co-funded by • Gujarat Power Corporation Limited [GPCL] Knowledge Partner • National Institute of Wind Energy [NIWE] Industry Partner • ReNew Power Ventures Private Limited Implementation period : Total of 51 months (13 December 2013 to 12March 2018)

  4. FOWIND Goal: Promote offshore wind power to facilitate India’s transition towards a low carbon energy future Key Objectives: • Undertake preliminary feasibility studies for potential offshore wind development zone(s). • Resource mapping (mesoscale) and validation (site specific), policy guidance and capacity-building. • Build partnerships with the Government (State and Centre), Industry and R&D institutes. • Develop an offshore wind development outlook for India (up to 2032)

  7. Gujarat: Potential development zones FOWIND Feasibility Assessments in Zone A - Gulf of Khambhat FOWPI’s work is foccussed on Zone B

  8. Gujarat: First Offshore Lidar Installation FOWIND worked with NIWE, the MNRE and NIOT to commission the LiDAR unit (Leosphere’s WindCube V2) in the Gulf of Khambhat on 2nd Nov 2017. Meteopole won the FOWIND supply tender and provided technical assistance during commissioning. GPCL and GMB provided support with NOCs.
