The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy had issued ‘Policy for repowering of the Wind Power Projects’ on 5th August 2016 in order to create a facilitative framework for repowering. A review of the policy has been carried out taking into account representations received from various stakeholders, subsequent deliberations and stakeholders' consultation and a revised policy has been prepared. This policy enables repowering/replacement of older generation turbines with newer generation more efficient turbines even before the design life is over, if the developers/owners choose to do so. The revised policy considers refurbishment of wind turbines for life extension beyond design life subject to safety and performance assessment as per relevant standards.
