Wind-power has obvious advantage as it is non-polluting , causes no ecological imbalance, requires no throughput fuel and has extremely low gestation period. After almost a decade of sporadic growth, wind period. After almost a decade of sporadic growth, wind energy finally seems to be stepping out form shadows of alternative technology into the commercial mainstream, worldwide. Even through, India now has an compared to base of just over 1600 MW, this is nothing compared to countries such as Germany which meets around 20% of its energy requirements from wind energy.
Wind-power offers long-term price stability too. Not only are generation costs of such projects low, the capital expenditure is comparable to fossil fuel based stations. Wind-power offer long -term price stability too. Not only are generation costs of such project low, the capital expenditure is comparable to fossil fuel based stations. Wind-power plants have low operating adn maintenance costs. Long-term econmics work out to be quite.
Favourable for the wind energy. Infact, it is being seen as a solution to sustainable deveopment. By the end of 2001, the installed wind-power was almost 25000 MW.
