Union Government launched scheme for wind power projects

Union Government initiated grid-connected wind energy projects targeted at producing 1,000 MW clean power

The scheme is organised by The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

The wind power is being provided to the non-wind erected states through bidding at various prices.

Features of the Scheme:

• Progression among project sizes
• effective e-bidding
• e-auctioning processes

Features:

• Satisfies the necessity of non-windy states regarding Non-Solar Renewable Purchase Obligation
• The bidding forecasts for the year 2016-2017 upto 1,000 MW capacity
• The power capacity should not be less than 25MW which is mentioned by the SECI for each and every developer during tender process

Universal Rankings for the Wind power Technology

India’s Ranking in Wind Power is positioned at 4^th position.

The top three places are occupied by the countries namely

• 1^st Position – China
• 2^nd Position – United States
• 3^rd Position – Germany

Future Project:

• Central Government targeted 175 GW power capacity from renewable energy resources by the year 2022
• The usage of cheap gases and coal will drops to 41% to 60% of renewable energy attracting 7.8 trillion dollars by 2040.
