Wind has been the most exploited
renewable energy source in India due to
several incentives provided by the
government for development of these
resources. The Wind energy potential of
India is estimated at 45,000 MW but it
was observed that there was an installed
base of only 10,243 MW as on Dec 2009
hence there is a great urge to exploit
the untapped potential.
OGPL has identified this as an
opportunity to aggregate and create
large wind generation capacities by
buying out operating assets at high wind
zones progressively, adding value to
them by improving the PLF and tariff
yield through better maintenance and
operation and by adding subsequent
capacity through Greenfield development.
As of Dec 31, 2009, OGPL had 134.50 MW of projects in operation in India. The next phase of growth will come from green field development in Tamil Nadu with an aggregate capacity of 300 MW. OGPL also intends to expand its wind energy business internationally by targeting the relatively unexplored wind energy markets in Sri Lanka, and European markets including Italy, and Austria and in Eastern Europe including Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
