What is Offshore Wind Energy?

Offshore wind energy involves setting up wind turbines in the sea to harness strong and consistent coastal winds. These turbines generate electricity, which is then transmitted to the onshore grid. Offshore wind has a high energy potential due to uninterrupted wind flow.

Where Will the Projects Be Located?

The tenders will focus mainly on coastal states like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, where offshore wind potential is among the highest in India. These regions offer favorable wind speeds and infrastructure support, making them ideal for large-scale projects.

Government’s Role and Support

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) will lead the tender process, providing necessary support, including infrastructure and clearances. The central government may also offer viability gap funding (VGF) and incentives to attract investors and speed up project development.

Why It Matters

Offshore wind can significantly add to India’s renewable energy capacity without using up valuable land. This initiative supports job creation, clean energy growth, and environmental protection by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
