Global Wind Day 2025: The Power Behind a Cleaner Tomorrow
Every year on June 15th, the world unites to celebrate Global Wind Day—a powerful reminder of the transformative role wind energy plays in building a cleaner, more resilient future. As the global push toward decarbonization intensifies, wind energy continues to rise—literally and figuratively—as a pillar of sustainable progress.
Wind turbines dotting coastlines, highlands, and plains aren’t just symbols of technological achievement—they are beacons of possibility, proving that clean energy can be both scalable and impactful.
Why Wind Matters—Globally and for India
Global Momentum
Globally, wind energy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most dependable sources of electricity. It now accounts for over 8% of the world’s electricity needs, helping nations reduce their dependence on fossil fuels while meeting climate goals.
Key trends driving this global growth include:
- Technological innovation: Floating offshore wind turbines, AI-based predictive maintenance, and grid-integrated hybrid systems are reshaping how we generate and consume wind power.
- Geopolitical leadership: Countries like China, Denmark, and the United States are setting ambitious targets and creating benchmarks that inspire worldwide action.
- Efficiency and affordability: With declining costs and rising efficiencies, wind has become a commercially competitive choice—even without subsidies.
India's Wind Energy Journey
India’s progress in wind energy is both significant and strategic. As of 2025, the country has reached a major milestone: 50 GW of installed wind capacity, placing it 4th globally. This achievement represents not just capacity—it symbolizes momentum toward India’s national target of 500 GW of non-fossil energy by 2030.
Leading States in Wind Development:
- Tamil Nadu and Gujarat continue to lead in installed capacity.
- Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Rajasthan are rapidly scaling up investments and grid integration.
Winds of Policy Change:
- The shift toward hybrid models—integrating wind, solar, and storage—enables round-the-clock (RTC) clean power.
- Offshore wind is gaining traction, particularly in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.
What Lies Ahead: The Next Wind Frontiers
As India crosses the 50 GW threshold, the future of wind energy is set to be even more dynamic and multidimensional:
1. Offshore Wind Takes Shape
The long-anticipated offshore wind sector is beginning to materialize, with Gujarat and Tamil Nadu being key focus areas. Offshore projects hold the potential to unlock high-capacity, high-efficiency installations near coastal demand centers.
2. Green Hydrogen Integration
Under India’s Green Hydrogen Mission, wind power is being explored as a prime source for electrolyzer-based hydrogen production—especially in coastal and high-wind zones.
3. Hybrid and RTC Power Models
Wind is increasingly being integrated into hybrid projects with solar and storage to deliver dispatchable, round-the-clock renewable electricity, offering reliability and affordability.
Hexa Climate’s Vision: Wind for RTC, Wind for Impact
At Hexa Climate, wind energy is a strategic growth engine. We are deploying large-scale wind and wind-solar hybrid projects to deliver cost-effective, clean electricity to C&I consumers and utility buyers.
"“We are rapidly expanding our wind portfolio as part of our commitment to provide green, reliable round-the-clock (RTC) power. Wind plays a crucial role in balancing intermittency, especially when paired with solar and storage, enabling us to meet the evolving energy needs of industries and communities.”— Team Hexa Climate"
A Word from our Chairman, Mr. Sanjeev Aggarwal
"“India reaching 50 GW in wind energy is not just a milestone—it’s a momentum builder. At Hexa Climate, we see this as proof that India’s clean energy ambitions are both scalable and achievable. Wind power will continue to play a pivotal role in our journey to 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030. The need of the hour is collaborative action—greater alignment across stakeholders through timely signing of PPAs by DISCOMs, strengthening grid infrastructure, proactive regulatory support for RPO enforcement, and agile execution from developers. With a shared sense of urgency and purpose, India can lead the global clean energy transition. At Hexa Climate, we believe this is India’s decade to lead, and wind will be an integral part of that journey. – Sanjeev Aggarwal, Chairman, Hexa Climate"
