| Wind power generation is
one of the cleanest sources of power generation. Unlike generation
of power from other sources say from coal, generation of power
through wind energy is a clean source of power generation
without any harmful effects on the environment. Recognising
this, the Group has made a small beginning in the year 2007.
Wind power generation of a capacity of 2.50 MW was set up
in Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu. The power generated
is supplied to the TNEB grid. Since the power is generated
from renewable and pollution free sources, these projects
would get entitled for carbon credits through the accreditation
and registration process with approved international bodies.
The 2.50 MW project has been sent for Registration with UNFCCC.
The Group in the subsequent years has been increasing the
wind power generation capacity gradually with the installation
of more wind mills and the aggregate capacity is presently
9.70 MW.
Government of India and Government of Tamil Nadu as well as
other State Governments are encouraging generation of power
from wind energy through various incentives.
SOLAR POWER GENERATION
The Group also has plans for entering into solar power generation
activities.
