Overview
Anabura Wind Farm is an operational onshore wind facility in India with a capacity of 16.5 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion under national wind energy targets.
Anabura Wind Farm is an operational onshore wind facility located in India, with coordinates 14.575100 N, 76.392600 E. The plant has a capacity of 16.5 MW, placing it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind farms in India. It operates under India's national renewable energy framework, which includes targets for 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and state-level renewable purchase obligations. The facility uses wind turbines to generate electricity, with primary fuel being wind. India's wind energy sector benefits from a feed-in tariff regime and competitive auctions under the National Wind Energy Mission. The plant's capacity factor and grid integration are typical for wind projects in the region, which has moderate wind speeds. Anabura Wind Farm supports India's goal of increasing renewable energy share in the electricity mix. It contributes to local grid stability and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. The plant's operational status ensures ongoing generation of clean energy, aligning with India's commitments under the Paris Agreement.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a region with semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Wind farms in India can have visual impacts on landscapes and potential effects on local bird and bat populations. However, proper siting and mitigation measures are typically employed to minimize ecological disruption. The plant's moderate capacity reduces land-use footprint compared to larger installations.
