Ingaleshwar Wind Farm - 100.8 MW Onshore Wind Farm in Karnataka, India

Ingaleshwar Wind Farm is an operational onshore wind facility located in Karnataka, India, with a capacity of 100.8 MW. Owned by Fortune Five Hydel Projects Limited, the plant is part of India's growing wind energy sector, which benefits from national renewable energy targets and policies such as the National Wind Energy Mission and state-level Renewable Purchase Obligations. The facility utilizes wind turbines to generate electricity from wind power, a key technology in India's renewable energy mix. With a capacity of 100.8 MW, it falls within the medium-to-large scale for onshore wind farms in India. The plant's location in Karnataka, a state with significant wind potential, supports grid integration and contributes to regional energy needs. Ingaleshwar Wind Farm plays a role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting India's goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. The facility's operational status ensures ongoing contribution to the local grid, aiding in energy security and sustainable development in the region.

The wind farm is situated in a region with moderate to high wind speeds, typical for onshore wind development in Karnataka. The area's land use is primarily agricultural, and the turbines are designed to minimize visual and noise impacts. While wind energy has low operational emissions, potential impacts on local bird and bat populations are managed through siting and monitoring practices. The facility supports India's transition to cleaner energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
