National Hydropower Corporation (NHPC) has inked a deal with the Kerala government to set up an 82 MW wind farm in the state’s Palakkad district. The company is taking this step as part of its diversification programme. The company has identified 500 acres of land in Palakkad district for which the survey has also been completed. The project will become operational within two yeras.
Currently, the cost for generating one MW of wind energy is estimated to cost around Rs 6 crore and the total project cost of this new wind farm will come to around Rs 500 crore. This project is being set up under the Built, Operate, Own and Transfer programme and the entire project cost would be brought in by the NHPC and the Kerala State Electricity Board will buy the power from the company.
NHPC is engaged in the planning, development and implementation of an integrated and efficient network of hydroelectric projects in India. It executes all aspects of the development of hydroelectric projects, from concept to commissioning.
