Bachelor in Wind Energy Technology

Introduction of the Sector

Power is the most critical requirement towards the development and social parity of any country. With the increasing focus on Sustainable Development and resulting Sustainable Development Goal it is pertinent to harness the Renewable Sources of the Energy to its fullest. The existing source of power generation are also gradually being converted into more sustainable alternatives, viz., Solar, Wind, Biomass, etc. India has a vast supply of renewable energy resources, and it has one of the largest programmes in the world for deploying renewable energy products and systems. Newer renewable electricity sources are targeted to grow massively in the coming years. The Government of India estimates a $100 billion investment, and a strong policy framework to stimulate the immense growth of solar and wind energy markets. Renewable Energy is generated through various natural resources such as biomass, sun, wind, tides waves and water (hydroelectric power). According to the Renewables 2022 Global Status Report by REN21, energy-policy think tank, India ranks 4th in renewable energy installed capacity (excluding large hydro), 4th in wind power capacity, and 4th in solar power capacity. As a part of the Paris Agreement, the Government of India has set an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, and 500 GW by 2030. The awareness for clean energy in domestic and industrial setups with government incentives points to a bright future for trained professionals.

Programme Introduction

India’s renewable energy expansion has placed wind power at the forefront of its clean energy transition. As wind installations grow nationwide, there is a rising need for skilled professionals capable of supporting installation, operations, and maintenance activities across wind farms. The Bachelor in Wind Energy Technology programme has been developed to address this demand, in alignment with national skill development frameworks and industry expectations, including insights from Tata Power and other leading organisations. This work-integrated programme blends academic learning with hands-on field training, enabling learners to develop the competencies required for employment in the wind energy sector.
