Chairman of Indian Wind Power Association Kasturirangan said that at a time when every unit of power generated matters to the state, Tamil Nadu has lost 100 million units of wind power in a week alone. Even before the peak wind season of July, wind flow in Tamil Nadu has been at surprisingly high levels due to cyclone Mahasen in the Bay of Bengal.
Generation touched 4,000 mw, but only about 3,200 mw of this has actually been evacuated and used up by the electricity board, Kasturirangan said. For instance, according to data from the State electricity board, about 73 million units of power was generated on May 16, after 68 million units on May 15, and 58 million units the day before that.
