Accelerated deployment of clean energy offers the single biggest solution to the three vexing problems facing the world today: fossil fuel depletion, environmental unsustainability, and climate change. In the last two decades, wind power has emerged as the leading green energy technology, growing at a record rate of more than 31% during 2009. The cumulative installed capacity as on June 2010 is 175 GW. Projections by Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) indicate that the size of the global annual wind market is expected to reach a new high of 62.5 GW by 2014, resulting in the cumulative capacity reaching 409 GW.

During the first decade of the 21st century, India emerged as the 5th largest wind power market in the world. Currently, its cumulative installed capacity is close to 13 GW, with the market growing at an average rate of 23% over the past 3 years. In the financial year 2009–10, about 1,565 MW capacity projects were added, which is likely to cross 2,100 MW in the current financial year 2010–11. With forecasts by the World Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE) predicting a 5,000 MW annual market by 2015, India is being touted as THE current global wind investment destination. To bring the global wind fraternity into the realm of this huge Indian wind market, WISE has joined hands with two international stalwarts from the wind arena, namely the Global Wind Energy Council and the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers’ Association (IWTMA), to bring to you, WIND POWER INDIA 2011, the first-of-its-kind mega international wind event to take place in India. 

WIND POWER INDIA 2011 is the international counterpart of India’s coveted national biennial wind event, WIND INDIA, which was launched in 2006 in Pune, India, by WISE, followed by the second event in 2008 in Chennai, India. WIND POWER INDIA 2011 is the third in the series.

Bringing together some of the best experiences from the international arena into the Indian wind power orbit, thus paving the way for introduction of the latest innovations in wind power development in India.

Showcasing some of the choicest wind investment opportunities in the Indian wind power sector.

Panel discussions to suggest recommendations to the government and initiate innovative policy measures for encouraging growth of the wind sector in India.

Release of the special report, ‘WIndia: The Global Wind Investment Destination’, published jointly by GWEC, WISE and IWTMA.

Presence of around 200 exhibition stalls in 4400 sq. m. centrally air-conditioned exhibition area, demonstrating state-of-the-art technologies, R&D, and major innovations.

Exclusive side events on major topical issues involving the government and industry alike, offering unique opportunities for enhancing business.

Special open space in the exhibition for country/group pavilions with facility to move in heavy machinery and ancillary components.

Special time slots/space for product launching by wind and ancillary industries.
