Solar And Wind Energy To Boost Power Generation

Solar and wind energy are two of the most readily available renewable sources of energy to help us fight our existing energy challenges and climate change.

Solar Power Generation in India India’s solar power insolation is about 5,000 T KWh per year. India’s long term solar potential looks extremely bright owing to high solar insolation and a big consumer base, a majority of which still lives off- grid. More than 8% of India’s total land area is ideal for solar power projects, as these tracts of land are barren and unsuitable for agriculture. This is a huge potential given the fact that 1.33 million MW capacity solar plants can be installed on only 1% of India’s total land area.

Wind Power Generation in India India comes fifth in the world in wind power capacity which has been a steadily rising since Wind power accounts nearly 8.5% of our total installed power generation capacity and it stands at 23,444 MW as on March 31, The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of India has announced a revision in the estimation of potential wind power source to 102,788 MW.
