Shree Nashik Wind Farm - Onshore Wind Facility in Nashik, India

Shree Nashik Wind Farm is an operational onshore wind facility located near Nashik, Maharashtra, India. Owned by Shree Naman Developers Ltd., the plant has a capacity of 10.5 MW, placing it in the small-to-medium scale category for Indian wind farms. The facility supports India's goal of 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert kinetic energy from wind into electricity. India's renewable energy sector operates under national policies like the National Wind Mission and state-level renewable purchase obligations (RPOs), which drive investment in wind power. The facility benefits from India's strong wind resource in the Western Ghats region. Environmentally, the Shree Nashik Wind Farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based power. Wind farms in this region typically require careful siting to minimize impacts on local bird and bat populations. The facility's electricity feeds into the regional grid, supporting Maharashtra's renewable energy targets and local energy needs.

The Nashik region features a mix of agricultural and hilly terrain, with moderate wind speeds suitable for wind energy generation. Wind farms like Shree Nashik can have visual impacts on the landscape and require measures to mitigate bird and bat collisions. The facility's operation displaces emissions from coal-fired power, contributing to improved local air quality and supporting India's climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.
