Studies conducted by the World Institute of Sustainable Energy ( WISE), Pune, a UK government funded organisation working in the renewable energy area, has reported that Karnataka has a high renewable energy (RE) potential. The potential is for more than 28 GW, of which only 3.45 GW has been tapped till November 2011.
Karnataka's RE base of 3.45 GW includes 1,929 MW of wind, 86 MW of biomass, 782 MW of bagasse co-generation, 646 MW of small hydro and 9 MW of solar. Wind offers the maximum potential, with an untapped capacity of 11 GW. Obviously the huge untapped RE potential also creates an investment opportunity.
