TEECL to develop 950 mw of wind energy by 2017

TEECL has diversified into non-conventional energy sector to produce 950 mw of wind power by 2017.

This was announced Techno Electric and Engineering Company Limited Managing Director P P Gupta while disclosing the company’s third quarterly financial results.

Referring to his future plans in the wake of the country’s huge demand for electricity and gradual waning of the supply of raw materials like coal, Mr Gupta said since they diverted their business interest to the generation and distribution of non-conventional energy, particularly the wind energy and those based on bio mass. TEECL had chalked out an elaborate plan for the generation of at least 950 mw of power by the end of the 12th five year plan.

Accordingly, TEECL had embarked on two non-conventional energy based projects at Tinnalvelli in Tamil Nadu and at Kutch region in Gujarat for generating 125 mw and 75 mw respectively of wind energy.

” While the Tamil Nadu project would be completed by May/June this year, the one in Gujarat would take another ten to twelve months for commissioning,” Mr Gupta informed.
