Maloshi Wind Farm - Operational Onshore Wind Facility in India

Maloshi Wind Farm is an operational onshore wind facility located in India, with coordinates 17.572700 N, 73.903200 E. The plant has a capacity of 14.65 MW, positioning it as a small- to medium-scale wind farm within the Indian renewable energy landscape. The facility operates under India's renewable energy regulatory framework, which includes national targets for 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and state-level renewable purchase obligations. Onshore wind technology is well-established in India, with the country ranking among the top globally for installed wind capacity. The plant's capacity factor and grid integration are typical for wind farms in the region. Maloshi Wind Farm contributes to India's decarbonization goals by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. Its location in a wind-rich area supports consistent energy production, and the facility plays a role in meeting regional renewable energy targets. The environmental impact includes land use for turbine placement and potential effects on local bird and bat populations, which are managed through standard mitigation practices.

The wind farm is situated in a region with moderate to high wind speeds, suitable for wind energy generation. The local environmental context includes agricultural and semi-arid landscapes, where wind turbines may affect bird and bat flight patterns. Land-use changes from turbine installation are minimal compared to other energy infrastructure. Grid integration challenges are addressed through India's renewable energy management centers.
