Anxiety about climate change and surging demand for electricity have triggered a wind-power frenzy in much of the United States, making it the fastest growing wind-energy market in the world. Power-generating capacity from wind jumped 27 percent last year and is expected to do the same this year.

Whatever we do we are not exploring the low wind energy areas. eepla India has developed a wind turbine of 1.5 to 2 Kw 48 volts which will work where there low or high wind. Its startup speed is 1.2 m/s and gives an optimum energy of 2 KW at a wind speed of 3 to 4 m/sec. For details contact info@eepla.com. They are trying company for joint venture.
