tamil Nadu a World leader in wind Power Generation Ranks Higher Than sweden and Denmark
tamil Nadu a World leader in wind Power Generation, Ranks Higher Than sweden & Denmark:Tamil Nadu is a world leader when it comes to renewable energy, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has said, ranking the state above sweden and denmark that are considered champions of green electricity.
“Wind turbines in tamil Nadu have a combined installed capacity of 7.9 gigawatts (GW). This puts it ahead of many countries regarded as champions of green power,” the world body said.
“Sweden is aiming to become one of the first countries to generate 100% of its electricity from renewable sources. But it has a wind-power capacity of 6.7GW, a tenth less than tamil Nadu,” said the WEF report on renewable energy.
“Denmark, considered by many as the birthplace of the modern wind energy industry, has a wind-power capacity of 5.5GW. In fact, figures from the Global wind Energy Council show that there are only five european nations plus China, the US, canada and brazil that had larger installed wind-power capacities than tamil Nadu,” said the report.
The state’s wind energy is seasonal and it starts around May 15 and lasts till september 15. tamil Nadu, as of now, has only onshore wind mills, and in the coming years, offshore wind mills are likely to generate power round-the-clock.
