India to achieve 60 GW wind capacity before 2022

[CMOP + 227]

At the current rate, the wind industry is on course to add 30GW of new capacity in next three years, thereby taking the cumulative total capacity to 60 GW by FY'21 .

There is a gradual stabilisation of tariff, and the scale of projects is going up to 200–300 MW capacity. This brings advantages of scale at project level and cost optimisation.

“The next-generation turbines from leading manufacturers can deliver around 35-40 per cent PLF(plant load factor) in high-wind States, which is almost twice the PLF compared to solar.”

This is a great step for Wind Energy In India. However, there are still some hurdles that must be crosses. Read more here - https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/wind-power-bids-seem-unrealistic/article21949730.ece1

That's a lot of capacity. Good for India, though.
