**Early Wind Energy Surge Expected in Tamil Nadu, India**

**COIMBATORE, Tamil Nadu – May 13, 2025** – Tamil Nadu is experiencing an early surge in wind energy generation this year, with production already beginning to ramp up, according to the Indian Wind Power Association. Data from the Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation shows the state consumed 61.13 million units of wind energy on Tuesday, May 12th.

“It looks like we are having an early season this year with wind energy generation picking up in the second week of May,” stated K. Kasthurirangaian, president of the association. On the evening of May 11th, generation reached 2,688 MW.

This positive trend follows significant growth in wind energy capacity. Between April 2024 and March 2025, Tamil Nadu added 1,136.37 MW, bringing the total installed wind energy capacity to over 11,700 MW.

While current generation is fluctuating, consumption reached 15.68 million units on May 1st and 21.92 million units on May 3rd. A temporary dip is expected on Wednesday, May 14th.

Ajay Devaraj, secretary general of the Association, anticipates stabilization and peak production to begin in late May or early June. This coincides with the expected arrival of southwesterly winds crossing Kerala around May 27th, traditionally marking the start of the peak wind energy season in Tamil Nadu, which typically runs from June to October.
