High Charges Limit Adoption of Wind Repowering Policy in Tamil Nadu
The Tamil Nadu Government’s Wind repowering policy, launched on September 4, aims to modernize aging windmills but has seen limited adoption due to high development charges of ₹30 lakh per MW. While 7,386.5 MW were planned for repowering, only 30 MW have pursued it. Windmill owners stress the need for incentives, fearing many small operations may be forced out of the market.
