Record growth for wind: What comes next?
As would be expected in a maturing market, there are considerable changes in the wind energy industry, particularly when viewed over a period of several years rather than in any one year in particular. The size of wind farms continues to grow, as does the size of the wind turbines which populate them.

And the winner is...
The gold medal for new wind power production in 2007 goes to the United States. More than 5,200 megawatts of capacity were installed there, a new world record. New factories are to ensure further growth, provided the promotion criteria are extended in time.

For equitys sake
Wind above other renewables? Maharashtra has promoted the Urjankur Nidhi Trust with Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL & FS), a Mumbai-based consultancy firm, to promote non-conventional energy projects in the state. The objective is to raise equity in renewable projects that include bagasse co-generation, mini hydro, waste-to-energy, solar and wind. The fund has a corpus of Rs

Elsewhere
Wind power has used the economic route to be viable In major wind power producing countries like Denmark and Germany, wind power is promoted through preferential tariffs and a larger incentive is given to wind farms with high plant load factor. In Denmark, wind power had a fixed preferential feed-in tariff. Today, it is sold there in a liberalized electricity market at competitive

Wind is big
The 11<sup>th</sup> plan has set what industry considers a modest target of 10,000 mw capacity addition in five years. Everyone agrees that much more is possible. But for this to happen, big time, the business of wind must be into energy generation and not just encashing credits because of investment subsidies.

RECs to promote renewables in India
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are a type of environmental commodity intended to provide an economic incentive tor electricity generation from renewable energy sources. If renewable energy such as wind or solar power is to be supported for global, environmental or a country's energy security objective, it does not matter where the solar or the wind plant is located.
