Solar and Wind power division
Wind power generation capacity in India has significantly increased in recent years. As of 31 March 2018 the total installed wind power capacity was 34.04 GW and we are the fourth largest installed wind power capacity in the world. Similarly, solar installed capacity reached 20 GW. The 20 GW capacity was initially targeted for 2022 but the government achieved the target four years ahead of schedule. Out of 100% only 4.7% energy is produced by solar and wind power generation combined, on the other hand Share of fossil energy is 81.9%. As we know the growing need of renewable energy resources there is sufficient need of manpower to research and install the power stations. There is necessity of power stations for nation environment security and nation building.
Following are the impactful points about these division-
1. The project is environment friendly.
2. India has good wind potential to harness wind energy.
3. A permanent shield against ever increasing power prices. The cost per kwh reduces over a period of time as against rising cost for conventional power projects.
4. The cheapest source of electrical energy.
5. A project with the fastest payback period.
6. Operation and Maintenance costs are low.
7. A project with no investment in manpower.
