NEW DELHI: Climate change has impacted India’s green economy, with wind energy generation during this year’ peak season being the worst ever due to low wind speeds on account of an erratic summer monsoon, said several project developers.
India’ wind power generation has been down around 40% during the peak wind season that begins in June and ends in September, and has impacted the firms having major wind power portfolios. With the peak season accounting for 3/4th of India’ annual wind power generation, not only this could throw a spanner in the works for one of the world’s largest wind energy programme; but also affect the ongoing deals and investments in the space.
