Wind industry adds 2,126 MW in FY14

摘要

THANKS to a spurt in wind power installations in March - estimated to be over 800 MW - the total wind power capacity added to the country in 2013-14 has come up to 2,126 MW, a figure that has surprised many. Installations in 2012-13 were at 1700 MW. Only in early February, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy told Parliament that installations in April 2013 to January 2014 totalled 1,148 MW. Against that backdrop, few in the industry and none outside believed that even the March-momentum would carry the total installations past the 2,000 MW-mark.
