• Suzlon Wind Turbine 350 kW to 2.1 MW
• Installed capacity is 1,064 MW
5. • Rajasthan has nearly 4000 MW of installed
wind capacity, the third highest in the country
after Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra in 2015-16
6. • Problem of 'erratic' or 'infirm' nature of wind speed, which
can vary considerably even in a single day
• Given that wind developers are receiving the request for
curtailment 2-3 times a day at each substation
• A representative of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers
Association (IWTMA) maintained the issue could be
resolved with better forecasting of how much wind power
will be available in real time
