Windergy International Trade Fair and Conference in Chennai fom October 23-25, is the leading trade fair and conference dedicated to India’s wind energy sector. The 3-day international event offers a platform for over 220 exhibitors and thousands of attendees to explore partnerships, innovations, and business opportunities in wind energy.

Denmark will once again showcase Danish expertise in wind technology at the ‘Pavilion – Powered by Denmark‘, marking the second year of Denmark’s dedicated pavilion at the event.

Denmark’s wind expertise in India

At last year’s Windergy, Denmark announced its Wind Alliance India (WAI) initiative in a bid to boost collaborative efforts between the two countries in the wind energy sector. This initiative is further strengthened by the Green Strategic Partnership, Denmark and India’s government-to-government partnership, that leverages Danish expertise to support India’s ambitious clean energy targets, fostering advancements in technology, infrastructure development and policy frameworks.

On the first day of this year’s Windergy, Invest in Denmark and the Trade Council will host a country session and roundtable, to strengthen partnerships between Indian and Danish solution providers in the wind sector.

India’s ambitious targets

India has made significant strides in offshore wind energy, launching its first offshore wind tenders in 2024 as part of a larger push to expand its renewable energy portfolio. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has set ambitious targets, including 30 GW offshore wind capacity by 2030. India’s first tender process, which began in 2022, focuses on developing wind farms off the coasts of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, leveraging the country’s vast coastline and strong wind resources.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that by 2040, India’s electricity consumption could triple, positioning the country as one of the largest global markets for renewable energy. This surge in demand highlights India’s significant role in the future of clean energy.
