Key factors to developmentAccelerated Depreciation (AD)

benefitGeneration Based Incentive(GBI)Renewable Purchase Obligation

(RPO)Tradable Renewable Energy

Certificate(REC)

Hindrance to developmentLack of regulatory frameworkInadequate grid connectivityHigh wheeling and open access

chargesLand and statutory clearance issues

Technology in the futureMW size turbinesIncrease in the hub height up to

120m (current installation average @80m)

Accurate forecasting/scheduling of power generation

Repowering of old wind plantsOff shore wind developmentSmart grid integration
