Financial And Technical Assistance To Wind Power Generation

Demand To Provide Financial And Technical Assistance To Wind Power Generation In Andhra Pradesh

Sir, wind power energy is one of the cleanest energies available in abundance, particularly in India. This energy has not been tapped to the full potential in the country so far.

Sir, the Central Wind Energy Institute (C-Wet) has identified 30 locations in Andhra Pradesh for wind power development, spread across Ananthapur, Kurnool, Cuddapah, Chittoor and Nellore Districts. Ananthapur accounts for the highest wind power potential in Andhra Pradesh. As per ICSA India Limited, the Non-Conventional Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (Nedcap), Andhra Pradesh has a technical wind potential of around 800 MW against which capacity installed by private sector companies is around 110 MW and the rest is yet to be exploited. Installation of the projects for the remaining potential will not only boost economy and generate employment in the region but also will fulfill the increasing demands of energy in the State. It will also help protect the environment and save the resources. The Government needs to take initiative for developing wind energy in all the potential districts in Andhra Pradesh.
Sir, I urge upon the Government to take necessary action in this direction and provide all financial and technical assistance to the State of Andhra Pradesh required for the purpose.
