Overview
Jangi village wind farm is a 10.5 MW onshore wind facility in Gujarat, India, owned by Energy Infratech Private Limited. The plant contributes to India's renewable energy capacity under national wind energy targets.
Jangi village wind farm is an operational onshore wind facility located in Gujarat, India, with a capacity of 10.5 MW. Owned by Energy Infratech Private Limited, the plant is part of India's growing wind energy sector, which benefits from the country's National Wind Energy Mission and state-level renewable energy policies. The facility uses wind turbines to generate electricity, with a capacity that places it in the small-to-medium scale for Indian wind farms. India has a target of 140 GW wind capacity by 2030, supported by generation-based incentives and renewable purchase obligations. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The wind farm contributes to grid stability and reduces dependence on fossil fuels in Gujarat, a state with high wind potential. Its operation supports local energy security and aligns with India's goal of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
Environmental context
Onshore wind farms like Jangi village wind farm can impact local bird and bat populations through collisions with turbine blades. The facility's location in Gujarat's semi-arid region may also involve land-use changes and visual intrusion. However, wind energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel generation, supporting India's climate commitments.
