Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation is facing a tough time with Wind power generators. Though wind continues to be strong in the state, the quantum of wind power fed into the state grid has come down drastically from 2,283 million units in July last year to 1,458 MUs this year.
The reason for this is unlike in the previous years, when windmills were permitted to run and generate power throughout the wind season, this year windmills are not allowed to operate. Since last month, windmills are forced to shut down every day for eight to 20 hours by the SLDC (State Load Despatch Centre.
