Potential of Wind Energy in India: A review

Abstract: The Tremendous progress of wind technologies over the past decades has brought us to the point where the vision of a clean sustainable energy future is well within reach. Broader range of governments will have to begin to respond to the increasing imperative for the energy securing and price stability offered by wind energy. Under the advanced scenario , wind power could reach nearly 2000 GW by 2030 supply between 16.7- 18.8% of global electricity and help save own 3 billion tons of Carbon Di-oxide emission annually .As the energy revolution proceeds and the use of energy from the renewable sources increases, the number of decentralized energy generators connected to the electricity grid is rising. In this paper, efforts have made to summarize the availability, current status, promotion policies and future potential of different form of wind energy in India. Keywords: Wind Energy, Wind policy and Renewable policy in India.
