Wind Farms-The major source of generation of electricity of about 1500 MW, which is about 20% of that of India ,And these Wind-Farms are found in and around Kanyakumari…And they look very lovley
On my way to Kanyakumari I saw many Wind-Farms and there is a place called Aralvaimozhi (also spelt Aralvoimozhi) ,a small settlement in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu.
Aralvaimozhi have the largest wind farms in the world. These wind farms generates about 450 MW of electricity.
Enjoy Some of the Captures I took..

Wind-Turbines are efficient and clean means to generate energy.
Generating 1500 MW of electricity,in clean and green way and installations of Wind-turbines in these areas also has risen the employment opportunity
The largest wind mill farms in the country are at Muppandal in Kanyakumari district. These farms can be seen when you travel from Kanyakumari to Thirunelveli.
The wind speed at this place is 20-25 km and available throughout the year.And it is peak during July-August when the wind energy is expected to be higher and last normally till October every year.
Its thanks to these villages and the windmills that Tamil Nadu is power-cut free today. There were horrible times when in peak winters we would have two hours power shut down in Chennai and more than 12 hours shut down in other areas. Going green is good for earth, for us and its nice to hear about the employment opportunity as well.
I have been to this place …its beautiful …beautifully captured pics …song of movie ek deewana tha was shot here 🙂
Oh I didn’t that the mobie song was shot there…. 🙂
And u know its really lovely to see the wind farms..
🙂
yes …we were so happy to see so many windmills together that we stopped our car ,and did a hour photoshoot over there 😛 😛
Lol…. I hour photoshot..Indeed they are worth for photoshots..I wished our bus had stoppwd there for the photoshots too… 😉
2nd pic is so lovely 🙂
I really like the way these wind mills look. There are lots in Arizona and other windy places in the US, but some people don’t like them. I like power! Namaste. . .
When I went to Dwark couple of months back, I saw actual windfarms for the first time. They really look awesome, don’t they? 🙂
Nice capture. I also witnessed the wind mills on the way to Kodaikanal a coupleof years back !!
Lovely captures Harsha…. ab mujhe bhi wind mills dekhne hain 😦 😦 😦
Thank You Bushra.. 🙂
Aur Wind Mills dkhne ke liye aapko Bangalore ke bahar jana padega.. 😀
😀
Natural form of electricity but it takes over space which can be used for other purpose
These wind-mills are built on barren lands near mountains with rocks and moreover these wind-mills are providing employment to locals over their,So I guess it is a win-win situation for everyone.. 🙂
They make such an interesting subject of photography!
Indeed Indrani..I wish our Bus had stopped their for a Photo Session.. 😀
प्रभावी !!!
शुभकामना

The Wind Mills are of Dalmia Group.. 🙂
And Wind Mills really have many important usages,eco-friendly and moreover providing employment in these rural areas..
Thanks fro Dropping by Bhavikk.. 🙂
Indeed these windmills are photogenic… more so, without those overhead wires 😛
Hahaha..They are Photogenic indeed but those wires are inevitable you know.. 😛
Good captures. There are quite a few near Jaisalmer as well.
Thank You Mridula.. 🙂
And yes I guess in Jaisalmer also the Wind speed is quite adequate for these mills..
Great shots always been a fan of wind mills…
Thank You Ajeeth.. 🙂
Great form of alternate energy
Indeed Deepak..and Even Clean.. 🙂
