The National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), an autonomous body under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), has invited expression of interest (EoI) for the first offshore wind energy project of India.
The global EoI will shortlist prospective offshore wind energy developers for a 1,000 MW offshore wind energy project in the Gulf of Khambat, off the coast of Gujarat.
MNRE is planning to install at least five GW of offshore wind capacity by 2022.
