Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 27: The sixth edition of Windergy India, one of the most anticipated trade fair and conference in the renewable energy sector, will be held from 23-25 October 2024 at the Chennai Trade Centre. This three-day event is poised to bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to drive advancements in wind energy, aligning with India's ambitious renewable energy goals.
India, a global leader in wind energy, currently ranks fourth in wind energy installations. As of August 2024, the country boasts an installed wind power capacity of 47,192.33 MW, making significant strides in both the domestic and global renewable energy landscape.
The wind energy sector plays a pivotal role in helping India achieve its renewable energy targets. It not only contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy security but also generates employment, particularly in rural areas, through the construction and operation of wind farms. With more than 7,000 km of coastline, India has the potential to generate over 500 GW of offshore wind capacity, with states like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat leading the way in offshore development.
In a landmark move, the Union Cabinet recently approved 1 GW of offshore wind energy projects in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, with an investment of Rs 7,453 crore. These projects are expected to produce 3.72 billion units of renewable electricity annually, reducing 2.98 million tons of CO2 emissions. This underscores India's commitment to advancing its energy transition and achieving its Net Zero 2070 targets.
Technological innovations are driving the growth of larger, higher-capacity wind turbines, leading to rapid expansion across the country. Windergy India 2024 will serve as the premier platform for showcasing these advancements, while fostering collaboration across the wind energy ecosystem.
