Renewable Energy Sources (RES) includes SHP, BG, BP, U&I, and Wind Energy.
Abbreviation:---- SHP=Small Hydro Project, BG=Biomass Gasifier, BP=Biomass Power, U&I=Urban & Industrial Waste Power, RES=Renewable Energy Sources.
From the table, we can see that Maharashtra is clearly the top in both total capacity and in thermal alone, whereas Tamil Nadu is clear top in Renewable Energy Sources, and Andhra Pradesh is top in Hydro Power closely followed by Karnataka, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
Wind Energy
India is also a leading producer of wind power with a total installed capacity of 7845 MW at the end of 2007. Most of this comes from the southern state of Tamil Nadu which has an acumulated power of 3711 MW and also of the states of Maharashtra with 1646 MW, Karnataka with 917 MW and Gujarat with 874 MW.
