The Government has set its eyes on boosting the country’s renewable energy footprint through offshore wind energy projects.
“The first bid for setting up an offshore wind project in Tuticorin will come this calendar year. We expect to have 10 GW of installed offshore wind power generation by 2022,” said Anand Kumar, Secretary, Ministry of New And Renewable Energy, at the launch of the TERI Energy and Environment Data 2016-17.
Kumar said that the Government is on the path of meeting its renewable energy targets.
