Global Wind Day 2024 Celebrations in India
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) organized the ‘Global Wind Day’ on June 15, 2024, in Delhi to commemorate the achievements and potential of wind energy in India. The event highlighted India’s progress in the wind energy sector and discussed strategies for accelerating its adoption across the country.
The Global Wind Day celebration aimed to raise awareness about the importance of wind energy as a clean and renewable power source. It featured discussions on the role of wind energy in meeting India’s power demands, accelerating onshore and offshore wind energy adoption, and bolstering energy security through sustainable practices.
Minister of State Shri Shripad Yesso Naik and MNRE Secretary Shri Bhupinder Singh Bhalla were among the prominent figures present, emphasizing India’s commitment to achieving its renewable energy targets. India’s cumulative installed wind power capacity, which reached 46.4 GW by May 2024, positions it as a global leader in wind energy production.
Acknowledging the contributions of states like Gujarat, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu in wind capacity additions, the event underscored the importance of collaborative efforts to realize India’s renewable energy ambitions. Discussions also focused on the need for a balanced energy mix combining solar and wind to ensure a reliable and sustainable grid.
The event saw active participation from government bodies, industry leaders, academia, and associations such as the Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, and others. These collaborations aim to propel India towards its target of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions by 2070.
