Inida: Programme on “Small Wind Energy and Hybrid Systems” during 2005-06 (and continued during the year 2006-07)

The objective of the programme is to develop technology and promote applications of water pumping windmills and aerogenerators/wind-solar hybrid systems and undertaking research & development for improvement of designs and efficiency of these systems. Presently, the programme is being implemented mainly in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan & Tamil Nadu owing to the felt need for water pumping and small power generation. The programme is, however, being extended to other potential states also.

Date Implemented: 2005

Status: In Force; Voluntary

Funding Information: Budget Estimate: Rs. 2.00 crores.

Targets: Targets for the year 2005-06: Water pumping windmills – 100 nos.; Aerogenerator/wind-solar hybrid systems - 150 kW
