WIND MILL PROJECTS IN BIHAR
The Ministry of Non-Conventional
Energy Sources launched a modified scheme concerning deployment
of water pumping windmills for providing water for irrigation,
drinking water and other uses during 1993-94. Under this scheme
of the Ministry a total of 38 water pumping wind mills have been
installed in Bihar so far. All the wind mills have been installed
in the southern districts of Bihar.
During 2002-03 a
total of 75 water pumping wind mills were sanctioned to the Bihar
Renewable Energy Development Agency for deployment in Bihar. It
is expected that BREDA will complete their installation during
2003-04. No other proposal has been received from Bihar for deployment
of water pumping wind mills during 2003-04 so far.
This information
was given by Shri M. Kannappan, Minister of State for Non-conventional
Energy Sources, in a written reply to a question by Shri Arun
Kumar in the Lok Sabha today.
