Challenges, risks and opportunities involved.
India is the fourth-largest wind power producer in the world and following the announcement of its government’s plans to achieve 5 GW of offshore wind by 2022 and 30GW by 2030, the Facilitating Offshore Wind in India (FOWIND) consortium was tasked with paving the way into a new era of energy generation.
The consortium implemented a four-year project to develop a roadmap for offshore wind development in India, with a focus on the states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. As the project’s technical partner, DNV leveraged its international offshore wind and local market expertise to deliver milestone reports that are enabling the Government of India and its stakeholders to bring this new market to fruition. The project was successfully concluded on 13 March 2018, with feasibility reports for both Gujarat and Tamil Nadu now available for viewing.
In this webinar, our experts share the key findings of the FOWIND project and the industry’s next steps, including insights on wind turbine technology and technical requirements for integration into the local grid.
