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:
“I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one,—that my body might,—but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in nature,—daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it,—rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! the solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? where are we?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
