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.

The art of stories in motion
IN a world that's always in a hurry, we rarely stop to notice the stories in an old temple pillar, the quiet message in a painting, or the feelings tucked into a line of poetry. Art asks us to slow down, take a breath, and reconnect with the things that make us human. For Bharatanatyam exponent Lakshmi Ramaswamy, this is what her forthcoming performances aim to achieve.
BRIDGED BY MUSIC
The famed Kodambakkam overbridge and the Doraiswamy Subway that have carried loads of Carnatic rasikas towards RK Salai (Music Academy, Narada Gana Sabha, etc.) or T Nagar (Vani Mahal, Krishna Gana Sabha, etc.) for many years may feel relieved due to some unloading, thanks to SASTRA Satsangh's foray into the multi-dimensional space of Art & Culture.
