The station can generate 60 lakh units per annum and was set up at a cost of Rs 11 crore. Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IDFC) funded this project. The company has so far installed 42 MW of wind energy plants.

"Given the ever increasing oil prices that put pressure on most of the economies, apart from the fact of limited availability at a macro level, many developed and developing countries, are having a serious look at alternate forms of energy. Energy security has become a very important issue. This brings into focus renewable energy which has a promising future," said Mr S. Chandrasekhar, Managing Director of the company.
