Tamil Nadu has historically prioritized green energy measures, with the state pioneering wind energy production since 1986. The formation of the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL) intends to restore the state's leadership in renewable energy. With wind, solar, hydro, and co-generation, Tamil Nadu has a total green energy capacity of 34,700 MW, which exceeds 50% of its energy mix.
Several projects, such as the massive Kundah pumped-storage hydroelectricity project and the creation of transmission corridors, demonstrate Tamil Nadu's commitment to renewable energy. The state's largest solar plant, in Kamuthi, generates 648 MW, demonstrating its renewable energy expertise.
Collaborations between the state government and the corporate sector, such as those with NLC India Ltd, reflect a shared commitment to achieving sustainable energy goals. Despite hurdles such as curtailment and the need for enhanced infrastructure, Tamil Nadu aspires to lead India's renewable energy transition while promoting economic development and environmental sustainability.A
