In the second quarter [Q2] of the calendar year 2023, India added 1,139.5 MW of wind generating capacity, a 165% year-over-year gain.
Installations increased by 54% from 737.85 MW in Q1 2023 quarter over quarter.
Government enabling measures, such as the introduction of the Renewable Purchase Obligations trajectory until 2029鈥�2030, helped to grow installations.
The trajectory stipulates that wind projects started after March 31, 2022 must be able to satisfy wind RPO.
The amount of total energy consumption that can be sourced from solar and wind projects with storage has also been determined by the government.
The 107 MW project by Apraava Energy in Gujarat, the 103 MW project by JSW Energy in Tamil Nadu, the 62 MW project by Adani Green Energy, and the 55 MW project by Alfanar in Gujarat are just a few of the significant wind projects that were commissioned during the quarters.
The expansion in installations is also aided by the increase of hybrid projects around the nation. Gujarat has the most wind installations, making about 24.9% of the nation's capacity. With a share of 23.2%, Tamil Nadu dropped to the second position.
Rajasthan ranked fourth with 11.9% of the overall wind capacity, while Karnataka came in third with installations accounting for 12.1% of the total wind capacity during the quarter.
With about 11.6% of the total wind capacity, Maharashtra was in fifth place, ahead of Andhra Pradesh (9.4%) and Madhya Pradesh (6.5%).
A 50 GW bidding calendar for renewable energy projects, including at least 10 GW of wind tenders, has also been released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
