Power capacity additions: 5 GW by 2022 & 30 GW by 2030

New Delhi, Jun 19 (UNI) Ministry of New & Renewable Energy declared medium and long term target for off-shore wind power capacity additions, which are 5 GW by 2022 and 30 GW by 2030, a statement said.
“The MNRE recently invited Expressions of Interest (EoI) for the first 1 GW offshore wind project in India, which has evoked keen response from the industry both global and Indian.,” the release stated.
Offshore wind turbines are of much larger dimensions and capacities than onshore turbines.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy had notified National Off-Shore Wind Policy in October 2015 to realise the offshore wind power potential in the country.
“Preliminary studies have indicated good wind potential for off-shore wind power both in southern tip of Indian peninsula and west coast. Two regions where preliminary studies are conducted are off coast of Gujarat and that of Tamil Nadu. For precise wind quality measurements one LiDAR has been installed near Gujarat coast which is generating data about quality of off-shore wind since November, 2017,” the release added.
Globally there has been installation of about 17 to 18 GW of off-shore wind power led by countries such as UK, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands & China. Recent years have witnessed fall in off-shore wind tariff in some of these markets.
