The Ministry of
New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) will be submitting a proposal to the Ministry
of Shipping for developing the ports of Pipavav (Gujarat) and Tuticorin (Tamil
Nadu), to make them ready for handling offshore wind project cargo.
The National Institute
of Wind Energy, (NIWE), which is under MNRE, has done a study on what needs to
be done at these two ports, in terms of dredging, land reclamation, shore
protection and docking facilities.
Revealing this at
the second UK India Offshore Wind Summit, organised by the UK government and
the Global Wind Energy Council, Dr Rajesh Katyal, said that the development of Pipavav port would cost
₹622 crore and that of Tuticorin, ₹732 crore.
He said that the
government of India would decide whether the projects would be funded by the
government itself or posed to the World Bank for funding.
This proposal
assumes significance against the backdrop of the fact that the government of
India would soon come out with tenders for ‘seabed lease’ — first for 4GW of
projects off Tamil Nadu coast and then for 1 GW off Gujarat coast.
Katyal said that
by the time the developers are ready to put up the projects, the port
infrastructure would be ready.
