Putting wind to work

As traditional sources are running out, people are looking to renewable energy resources. One source of energy that we can use is moving wind. Wind power is a renewable energy source, which will never run out, so we can use it without worrying about it drying-up.

Renewable Future 

The biggest problem with traditional sources, such as fossil fuels is they’re finite. Since these energy sources are non-renewable, they can’t be replaced. The only solution that we can have is going renewable.

Putting Wind to Work 

Using wind as an energy source isn’t a new idea; it’s been there for thousands of years. Our ancestors have very well used it in the past and were traditionally used to generate mechanical energy for grinding cereals and irrigation purpose. Today, wind energy is primarily captured to generate electricity.

Wind energy can be effectively used to power the isolated communities in the country, which don’t have access to an electricity network or grid. There, wind energy can emerge as a effective solution to people’s electricity needs.

Renewable Energy in India
 
It’s not just small communities that have started using solar and wind energy, but even top companies, like Dalmia are also setting-up wind farms to generate energy to power their manufacturing plants and supply to state grids. And, it all looks like a good start! But, yes, it’s just a start, we’ve got miles to go from here.

Captive Power Plant – One More Step Towards Reducing Dependency on State Grids

A captive power plant is a great asset for any company, which is heavily dependent on electrical energy from the state grids. These days, when state electricity boards are failing to meet the power requirements of industrial sector (which is one of its largest consumers), installing a captive power plant can result in an uninterrupted power supply.

At Dalmia, we too have set-up captive power plants to meet the electrical energy needs of our cement and sugar plants. Besides powering our equipment, we also supply the surplus to the state grids.

Several other power projects are in pipeline, and we’re working hard to get them on surface soon. Self-sufficiency (in terms of energy requirements for our plants) is what we’re looking for so that we can work without frequent interruption. As a group, we’re aggressively pursuing our expansion plans in power business through incubation of new projects and also through acquisitions.

As part of our green initiatives, we’ve also set-up solar and wind power projects to reduce our carbon footprints. As a group, we understand our responsibility towards society and environment, and believe in sustainable business development, which benefit everyone involved.
