Kohinoor Wind Farm - 24 MW Onshore Wind Facility in Rajasthan, India

Kohinoor Wind Farm is an operational onshore wind facility located in Rajasthan, India, with a capacity of 24 megawatts (MW). The plant is owned by Kohinoor Planet Construction Pvt. Ltd and is part of India's growing wind energy sector, which benefits from strong government support through policies like the National Wind Energy Mission and state-level renewable purchase obligations. The facility uses wind turbines to generate electricity from the region's wind resources. With a capacity of 24 MW, it falls into the medium-scale category for Indian wind farms. India's wind energy sector operates under the Electricity Act 2003 and the National Tariff Policy, which mandate renewable purchase obligations for utilities. The plant's output is typically fed into the state grid under power purchase agreements. Located in the arid landscape of Rajasthan, the wind farm supports grid stability and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. The facility contributes to India's target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Wind energy in this region also helps diversify the energy mix and provides clean electricity to local communities.

The wind farm is situated in the Thar Desert region of Rajasthan, an area with strong and consistent wind patterns ideal for wind energy generation. The arid environment minimizes land-use conflicts with agriculture, though wind farms can impact local bird and bat populations. Proper siting and mitigation measures are typically employed to reduce ecological disruption. The facility's operation displaces greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants, contributing to India's climate goals.
