Andhra Pradesh Government today allotted a 208-acre site in Anantapur district to Nredcap and Enercon for setting up of a 45 mw wind power project. The allotment has been made on a lease basis for 25 years.
The State Cabinet, which met here today, chaired by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, made this allotment to facilitate the setting up of a wind farm. This is part of the State’s policy to encourage renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.
