Wind Potential & State Govt. Approval

Wind power installations world-wide have crossed 86.3 GW, producing over 52 TWH of energy annually. The World Energy Council has estimated that, by 2010 A.D., the world wind power capacity can increase to 70 GW under the current policy scenario, and even 100 GW under a ecologically driven scenario.
