TN colleges evince interest in wind, solar hybrid systems

The Tamil Nadu government's campaign for getting the 1,000-odd engineering colleges to put up wind-solar hybrid power plants in their campuses seems to have paid off, as a large number of colleges have evinced interest in the scheme.
Last month, the Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency (TEDA) held seminars in ten cities in the State to sensitise the engineering colleges to avail themselves of a Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) scheme to put up wind-solar hybrid power plants.
