Briefing of onshore wind energy capacity in India

---

India is capable of producing 695 GW of wind energy at a height of 120 m. Out of this potential, 340 GW can be used as a wasteland, 347 GW can be used for agriculture, and the balance is covered by forests. Additionally, it is anticipated that 132 GW of wind power is produced in high-potential regions with capacity utilization factors (CUF) greater than 32% and that 57 GW of that is produced in regions with prospective CUFs of more than 35%. The technical potential for onshore wind on wasteland sites in highCUF states is more than eight times the nation's installed wind power capacity and more than eight times the onshore objective for 2030, according to a list of high-CUF states and their projected wind power generation potential. The GoI and corresponding state governments have used a variety of financial and legislative tools to promote investment in the wind industry, including accelerated depreciation, feed-in tariffs, and generation-based incentives. The national repowering policy for Wind Power Projects 2022 and the National Wind-Solar hybrid policy is playing a major role in the expansion of wind energy. private players would play a vital role in wind capacity addition with heavy investments and components of wind power manufacturing.
