Wind Energy in India

Wind energy generation in 2006 was approximately 150 Terrawatt hours (TWh) or roughly 1% of global supply.

Global experts predict a 24-27% growth for the next 5-7 years, making wind energy a $35 billion industry.

India ranks 4th in the world with a total wind power capacity of 6,270 MW in 2006.

Wind Power generates 4.64% of all electricity produced in India.

India alone has the potential to harness 45,000 MW of wind energy compared to its current 6,270 MW.
