The Jaisalmer Wind Park is India's second largest and globally the fourth-largest operational onshore wind farm. [1] This project is located in Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan, Western India.

History

The project was started in August 2002 by developed by Suzlon Energy and comprises Suzlon's entire wind portfolio – ranging from the earliest 350 kW model to the latest S9X – 2.1 MW series. [2] Its installed capacity is 1,064 MW, which makes it one of the world's largest operational onshore wind farms. [1]

By April 2012, its combined installed capacity crossed 1000 MW i.e.,1 GW. [3] At 1064 MW, the wind park became the largest of its kind in India, [3] and one of the largest wind farms in the world. [4]

In 2015, 24 wind turbine generator of 2.1 MW each were installed at Tejuva, taking the overall production to 50.4 MW. [5]
