A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between TPREL and RWE in this regard. India is a highly attractive market to develop opportunities for offshore wind as it has a large coastline of about 7,600 km. The MoU will complement Government of India’s plan to achieve 30 GW of offshore wind installations by 2030.To facilitate the establishment of an offshore wind market in India, RWE and TPREL will conduct technical and commercial site assessments.
