Negotiations are in the final stages between the Union ministry of nonconventional energy sources (MNES) and the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) to establish a Wind Energy Centre at Kayathar in Tamil Nadu.

MNES secretary 8 R Prabhakara says that Tamil Nadu is the ideal location as it accounts for 3/4th of India's 350 mw installed capacity in wind energy." DANIDA and the MNES will share the cost of the Centre - estimated to be around Rs 8 crore.
