Wind Power Energy in India - Oil & Natural Gas Corporation
Wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies. Usage is on the rise worldwide, in part because costs are falling. Global installed wind-generation capacity onshore and offshore has increased by a factor of two decades.
ONGC will continue its investments in onshore wind to target 2 GW capacity in 2030 Onshore wind is a relatively more mature technology in India among renewable sources. India added around 1,500 MW wind energy capacity each year from 2006 to 2011, with total installed capacity of over 13 GW by 2011. The country is expected to add 1.5 to 2 GW onshore wind capacity each year by 2015, driven by changes in regulatory policy and higher participation by IPP. Tapping low wind speed potential using efficient turbines could unlock significant new wind energy potential (around 40 GW) in India.
