Danish team to call on Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin for setting up windmills at sea

CHENNAI: A business delegation from Denmark is calling on chief minister M K Stalin on Wednesday to explore the possibility of establishing offshore wind mills on the Tamil Nadu coast. The state’s long coast, especially between Rameswaram and Kanyakumari, offers a potential to tap 20-30 GW offshore wind energy.

Denmark is also set to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for offshore wind energy in Tamil Nadu. The state has been taking efforts to establish 4-5 CoEs in emerging sectors to enlarge the potential for both manufacturing and services. The CoE for off-shore wind energy is most likely to come up in Chennai.
