A Danish-India joint study, which aims to support India's target of 30 GW offshore wind energy by 2030, has identified fifteen zones for the first offshore wind development project.
The study is published by the Center of Excellence for Offshore Wind and Renewable Energy, a joint initiative of the Danish Energy Agency and the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
“The joint maritime spatial planning and port infrastructure projects have provided important input to the draft tender document currently in consultation with stakeholders, as well as the upcoming offshore wind tenders in India. The Danish approach and experience have been very helpful in moving this forward,” said Dinesh Jagdale, Joint Secretary, MNRE.
The projects identified in the study are an important contribution to the ongoing stakeholder consultation on the draft tender document issued by MNRE for India's first offshore wind farms.
A dedicated port infrastructure study identifies a series of ports off the coast of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat that meet basic navigation and access criteria to support the installation of wind turbines and foundations. However, these ports require significant upgrades to key infrastructure, such as quays and wharves, that are necessary to rank wind turbine components.
