11. WIND POWER PROJECTS

12. Advantages of Wind Energy • Pollution free • Saves fuel as no fuel is required • Can be established in least time • Helps develop hilly and undeveloped regions • Provides employment to local people • Boost to domestic industries • Transmission costs reduced as wind energy generation is localized • Energy generation is totally by private investors

14. Wind Resource Assessment Programme • WRA Study completed - 158 sites • Sites declared by MNRE /C-WET - 40 sites • Estimated Wind Power Potential - 5439 MW • WRA Study in progress - 181 sites • After completion of WRA study by considering around 20% feasibility of sites, around 3000- 4000 MW capacity wind power potential is likely to be added for further development of wind power projects. 14
