Wind and Solar Power Installation Capacity in 2023-24
In 2023-24, Tamil Nadu’s wind power installation capacity increased to 9,015 megawatts, and solar power installation capacity increased to 1,261 megawatts.
Southern districts like Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Theni, and Kanyakumari receive longer hours of sunlight, making them suitable environments for setting up wind and solar power plants.
From 2019-20 to 2022-23, installation capacity has increased across several sectors.
Wind power installation capacity has increased from 55 megawatts to 124 megawatts, and rooftop solar capacity has increased from 44 megawatts to 101 megawatts.
