Wind energy development in Tamil Nadu

The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) is a pioneer among the State Electricity Boards in India in promoting renewable energy programmes. Tamil Nadu is blessed with conductive natural meteological and topographical settings for wind power generation. There are three passes namely 'Palghat Pass', 'Shengottah Pass' and 'Aralvoimozhi Pass' that are endowed with heavy wind flows during the Southwest monsoon.
