About the Briefing Paper & Panel Discussion

Vasudha's new Briefing Paper focuses on vitalising the repowering of wind power projects in India. Wind energy, one of the country's oldest and most developed renewable energy technologies, is expected to contribute 140 GW to India’s ambitious target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. However, the pace of wind capacity addition in India has plateaued. In the last three fiscal years, India has installed an average of 1.7 GW Wind Power Projects (WPPs).  Availability of land and acquisition issues surfaced as the biggest reason for this slow progress. In that context, this paper proposes strategies to increase wind capacity through repowering.

The subsequent panel discussion will explore the importance of a reliable database for decision-making and evidence building around wind power in India. Moreover, the discussants will explore ways to expedite the retirement of Government-owned old wind power projects and delve deeper into the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders.
