A. Thangavelu, Chief Engineer of Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) here, told that agricultural load had come down with rain in several parts of the district during the last one week and industrial load gone up. Hence, the total consumption remained almost the same.
“We need to get at least 1,000 MW constantly from wind energy to reduce the duration of load shedding,” he said. Yet, power cut in the district had come down by four to six hours a day. There was no load shedding in the night.
Indian Wind Power Association chairman K. Kasthoorirangaian said that wind energy generation would increase in a couple of days. With nearly 7,000 MW of installed wind energy capacity, the State was likely to generate about 3,500 MW of wind energy this year.
In a memorandum to the TANGEDCO, he stated that it should harvest wind energy to the maximum this season.
