CDM bubble is bursting?

                                               
                                          Where the techonology comes from ? mostly EU.
CDM was buzzword till 5 years back, but where are the projects now?

Wind energy and small towns of India

For wind energy, small town is big game in India. Be it Dewas or Dhulia, Daman or Baroda, maximum benefit of wind energy growth has gown to small towns of India.

Now small town of Baramati is getting Rs 50 Crore wind turbine plant by Kenersys ( Kalyani group) to manufature 140 m tall 2 MW wind turbines ( k82) having 82m rotor dia. Production capacity planned is 250 machines per year.

This is when the offshore capacity lay hardly assessed. It will take another 2 years before we know how much wind power Indian sea waters have to offer.

Gamesa is investing hugely in the sector and plans to manufacture 2MW turbines by 2012 in small tows of Gujarat and Tamilnadu.

Features of wind energy in India

• Grid connected wind energy potential capacity:- 1,00,000 MW @ 25% PLF. This amounts to 219.0 mKWh annual Generation.
• Feed in Tariff is mostly ranging between Rs.3.00 to Rs.4.oo per unit .Andhra(3.37),Guj(3.37),Karnataka(3.40),Kerala(3.14),MP(3.97),Mech(3.50),Raj(3.65),TN(3.10),WB(4.00),Haryana(4.08).
• There are 30,000 employees at present in India in wind energy sector and by the year 2020, we expect this to become 1,36,000.
• There are 4 normative operating parameters specified in by CERC for fixation of tariff:- 1.Capital cost(Rs 5.15 Cr/MW),

2.CUF (20 % - 30 % depndingon annual mean wind power density) ,

3.O&M(Rs.6.5 lakh/MW with escalation factor of 5.72%p.a.)
4.Capital cost index(limited to WPI of steel and electrical machines)
