In my last blog ‘The Promising Sea’, I wrote about the opportunity for India to harness offshore wind energy to produce electricity. India so far, haven’t focused in this area of renewable energy sector primarily because of two reasons, first it was prohibitively expensive in comparison to other sources of energy. Even was far more expensive than its counterpart onshore wind energy. Secondly the country was engaged to develop the technology and expertise to exploit the potential of the onshore wind up to a reasonable level. Now that India has advanced its onshore wind energy generation capacity to an appreciable level of 38 GW and chasing a further bigger target of 60 GW in near future, it can be seen that harnessing onshore wind technology has now become a conversant technology and the required expertise has also got developed within the country. This onshore sector is expected to grow up now in an organic way keeping pace with the world. Therefore, it is appropriate at this juncture to step in to work on offshore wind energy potential, when there is a global thrust for growth in offshore wind energy.
