Is wind energy is the best option amongst non-conventional sources?
Last year an Indian company announced that it would be setting up a 24 mw windfarm at a project cost of Rs. 120 crore. This works out to an investment of about .2 per watt, which is very significantly lower than the other tried and tested non-conventional source of renewable energy, namely solar photo voltaic cells, where the initial investment is still as high as – per peak watt. One continues to hear lot of noise about renewable sources of energy, but in reality there is very little on the ground. Despite the fact that we need to add almost 100,000 mw to our installed power capacity in the country, we are probably not serious about exploring full potential of the alternate sources.
