Governmental Support and Challenges for Growth of Wind Energy Generation in India

Shantanu Acharya, Prof. Subhadeep Bhattacharjee

Abstract


All the countries in the world depend mostly on exhaustible hydrocarbon energy sources for power generation. Limited reserves of these resources and associated environmental problems have emphasized the need for sustainable and clean alternatives. Wind energy is one of the most environment friendly, clean and safe energy resources. This paper presents the policies and an initiative adopted for growth of wind power generation in India and also explains the challenges in its development.

 


Keywords
