New Delhi, October 10, 2024 : Over 300 exhibitors from across the globe are set to be a part of history in making at the sixth edition of Windergy India, one of the most anticipated trade fair and conference in the renewable energy sector from 23-25 October 2024 at the Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Mr JP Chalasani, CEO, Suzlon Group believes that India has yet to tap into 96% of its wind energy potential, which, if harnessed, could accelerate India’s journey to achieving net-zero by 2070.
“We are in a pivotal phase for wind energy, and with consistent policy support that encourages domestic manufacturing and innovation including measures like strengthening RLMM requirements can position India as a global hub for renewable energy production,” he said.
In addition to the main conference, Windergy India 2024 will host round table sessions and seminars led by industry experts, featuring international delegations and notable organizations such as the Green Hydrogen Association (GH2), Invest in Denmark, Department for Business & Trade, British High Commission, and Centre for Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI), Spain.
Mr Amit Kansal, CEO and Managing Director at Senvion Wind Technology said “India’s wind energy sector is experiencing remarkable growth, with an installed capacity of over 47 GW as of 2024. The trend towards hybrid wind-solar projects is changing the landscape. With the government’s goal of 140 GW of wind power by 2030 and recent investments exceeding $10 billion annually in renewable energy, this progress is critical to meeting India’s renewable energy targets and driving sustainable development.”
Mr Parag Sharma, President, Wind Independent Power Producers Association (WIPPA) said, “Congratulations Windergy India 2024 on your 6th edition! Bringing together key players in the wind energy sector, this platform continues to strengthen the wind industry’s role in India’s energy transition. With the total installed wind energy capacity crossing the 47 GW mark this August and the ambitious 140 GW target by 2030 on the horizon, the industry is at a pivotal juncture. While we are ready to ramp up capacities, decisive and consistent policy support, and timely PPAs are crucial in the immediate term to attract the investments that will drive deployments and bring smart innovation in the sector. Strategic collaborations, cost-reflective tariffs, and supportive market mechanisms will accelerate capacity addition, ensuring that wind energy plays a leading role in India’s renewable future,” he said.
