From action- propelling sailboats in open seas to turning the blades of windmills to grind grains, there are multiple advantages of wind energy that have surprisingly increased the growth of wind energy throughout history. Today, with modern, sleek wind turbine designs, advanced generators, and aerodynamic blades, wind energy has revolutionized how we can achieve more advantages of wind energy.
The transformation of kinetic energy into electrical energy has increased the importance of wind energy in the commercial and industrial sector, defining it as one of the fastest-growing clean energy sources.
According to recent reports released in January 2025, India has installed a capacity of 209.44 GW in the renewable market, a 15.84% increase compared to 180.80 GW in December 2023.
The total capacity added during 2024 is 28.64 GW, reflecting a significant year-on-year increase of 119.46% from the 13.05 GW added in 2023.
India has made significant strides in renewable energy, particularly wind power, as a solution to combat climate change. An additional 3.42 GW was installed in 2024, bringing the total wind energy capacity to 48.16 GW, a 7.64% growth from 2023.
The nation aims to increase its clean energy capacity, with wind as a key contributor.
Make in India, an initiative by the Indian government aims to boost domestic manufacturing and reduce dependence on imports by promoting sustainable energy in the country. This initiative has led to an increase in wind turbine production and installation. With the rise in investment in the wind energy sector, the industry has proliferated the growth of employment opportunities, particularly with over 2 million job opportunities in rural areas.
India is playing a remarkable role in the energy transition, enhancing the sustainable energy mix globally.
Wind energy is the preferred choice for sustainable power solution because it comes with many benefits. Researchers continue to explore the benefits of wind power and optimize its potential for a positive impact on society and the environment.
Wind power is an unlimited energy source on earth which makes it a sustainable solution to replace traditional source of energy. Wind energy doesn’t produce harmful greenhouse gases or pollutants, helping in reducing the carbon footprint and contribute towards a greener future.
Wind energy is an unlimited resource, and it can be harnessed in many regions of the world. Wind power plants can be set up onshore and offshore utilizing the diverse wind conditions. With the rising technology advances, we can install wind farms in lower wind speed regions enhancing the generation of electricity.
Innovation in wind turbine designs has improved manufacturing efficiency making wind energy as the most preferred sources of energy. Once wind power plant is operational, the maintenance and operational costs are relatively low resulting in long term benefits.
Wind energy market is filed with significant amount of job opportunities in various sectors such as manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and research. Wind power segment boosts economic development in rural areas, increase the and value, attract investments, and enhance infrastructure. Also, contributes to tax revenues and benefiting local communities.
Wind energy is a resource that can be harnessed locally leading to low exposure to traditional fuel resources. Hence, countries investing in wind tend to reduce their reliance on traditional source of energy and stabilizing their energy security.
Wind turbines are scalable enabling installations ranging from small turbines supplying electricity to homes to giant offshore wind farms powering to entire cities. Innovated turbines, advanced energy storage solutions and grid integration enhance wind energy’s efficiency and reliability.
Like other renewable resources of energy, wind power also comes with few challenges. These challenges must be addressed for the universal adoption of clean energy. A clear understanding of the challenges of wind energy is essential for finding the right solutions for better efficiency and integration.
Wind farms showcase intermittency and variability – as wind speed fluctuate and there are times when wind turbine generators produce less or zero electricity. This situation often leads to challenge in maintaining consistent power supply and demand. To resolve this, technological advancements in energy storage, grid management and hybrid clen energy systems are necessary.
Wind farms specifically onshore wind farms require greater size of land areas, and this might lead to conflicts in terms of land -use majorly in highly populated regions. Also, local communities show resistance towards wind turbine generators due to their visual impact on landscapes. Whereas offshore wind farms ease this issue, but they do involve higher installation and maintenance costs.
Wind power plants are usually installed in remote or outskirt areas with a significant wind potential which demands robust transmission infrastructure to supply electricity to population areas. Additionally, it requires good amount of budget for the maintenance of power grids, and it is a complex process. Smart grid technology and decentralize energy solutions are introduced to address the situation.
The initial investment required to set up a wind farm can be substantial though wind power offers long term cost savings. However, government has released policies and financial incentives and with low technology costs are helping in making wind energy more viable.
Rising sustainable energy requirements and technological innovation in energy indicate a bright future for wind energy.
Key advancements that will build the future of wind power: –
Cleaner and Greener Tomorrow with Wind Energy
Wind energy is one of the valuable renewable energy responsible for global transition to sustainable power. It is abundant, offers economic benefits, and its ability to enhance energy independence make it a crucial part in the current energy landscape. Despite the challenges of intermittency and land use, continuous innovation and strategic planning can alleviate the barriers.
Amplus has recently marked their entry in the wind sector of India’s renewable energy with its first co-located wind & solar project- Project Shiva in Tamil Nadu. Project Shiva comprises a total capacity of 180 MW, comprising 108 MW of wind and 72 Mw of solar power. Also, Amplus is expanding its wind power portfolio with an upcoming wind project in Karur, Tamil Nadu. Our wind power projects reflect Amplus’ commitment to providing clean, reliable, and efficient energy solutions for commercial and industrial sectors.
