India Plans to Upgrade Aging Wind Turbines to Boost Capacity Without New Land
India is considering replacing aging, smaller wind turbines with larger, more efficient models at existing sites to increase capacity by nearly 50% without acquiring additional land. The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association estimates 5-8 gigawatts of old capacity could be upgraded immediately, with potential for 25 gigawatts long-term. Discussions are ongoing with states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Karnataka to finalize plans, aiming to accelerate wind power deployment and support India’s 2030 clean energy goals amid challenges in land acquisition and grid integration.
