Tamil Nadu to add 300 MW wind power by March

By IANS

New Delhi : Another 300 MW of wind power generation capacity will be added in Tamil Nadu by March, Minister of State for Renewable Energy Vilas Muttemwar said Monday.

The minister was replying to a question in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Indian parliament.

Tamil Nadu already has 3,700 MW of wind power generation capacity in operation.

The wind power plants are mostly located in the state’s three mountain passes, Palaghat, Shengottah and Aralvoimozhi, Muttemwar added.

Located along the Tamil Nadu’s western border, these passes usually get strong winds during the monsoon season of June-September.
