Vankusawade Wind Park is located on a high mountain plateau at 1,150 m above the Koyana Reservoir, around 40 km from the town of Satara, Satara District in Maharashtra. When completed, it will be Asia's biggest wind power park and will generate 250 MW. Suzlon Energy Ltd., Asia's leading wind power company is promoting it.
As of 2011, a total of over 490 wind turbines of 350 kW capacity have been installed. The total power output is over 174 MW. The balance is expected to be installed shortly making it the largest single-made, single-size (350 kW) wind park in the world.
Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or park:
“You are wind in a stark tree,
you are the stark tree unbent,
you are a strung bow,
you are an arrow.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
