India is exploring a plan to replace ageing, smaller wind turbines with larger, more efficient machines to increase generation at existing sites without acquiring additional land. The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association estimates that 5-8 GW of old wind capacity could be repowered immediately, potentially raising capacity at these sites by nearly 50%. The initiative is being discussed with states including Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka as India seeks to accelerate wind power deployment and meet its clean energy targets.
