THE state government has released its first repowering policy for wind energy projects, named Repowering, Refurbishment and Life Extension Policy 2024, thereby becoming the first state in India to bring such a policy.
This policy aims to use wind energy resources better by supporting wind energy generators (WEGS). The need for such a policy has been stressed since 2016. The government released the draft policy earlier this year, following which the finalised policy has been issued now after recent approval by the Cabinet.
The policy will be in effect from the date of issue until March 31, 2030, or until a new repowering policy is announced. Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation was appointed as the state nodal agency (SNA) for the implementation of the policy.

Even though the Bulls were leading the seven-match series 3-2, and just needed one final push to clinch their second hat-trick of the championship in the 1990s, the games, bar one, were exceptionally close. The Jazz were at home, but trailing behind by one Game. A win here meant they would get another opportunity to go at the Bulls and potentially win the championship.
