    16 In April 2010 C-WET published an Indian Wind Atlas which was prepared in collaborationwith Riso, Denmark. Fresh sites are selected or resource assessment by CWET every year and the rest are closed down, having served their purpose.

    17 Centre or Wind Energy Technology: Indian Wind Atlas (2010). In India a site having an annualmean wind power density o 200 W/mat 50 [MAGL] is considered a wind power potential site

    18 The assessment in the India Wind Atlas is assumed at 2% land availability or all states exceptthe Himalayan States, North-Eastern States and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. In NE Statesand in the Andamans & Nicobar it is assumed as 0.5%, however the potential would change as per the real land availability in each state. Further the installable wind power potential iscalculated or each wind power density range by assuming 9 MW (average o 7D*5D, 8D*4Dand 7D*4D spacing is the rotor diameter o the turbine) could be installed per square km.
