"On Thursday, out of the 320 million units (MU) of power consumption in Tamil Nadu, 84MU was from wind power. With transmission lines available between various states, it is easy to transmit power to other states," a wind power company chief said.Meanwhile, on Thursday, the state power utility set a new record by meeting more than 1/4th of its power supply through wind energy. Since we have met our RPO, we decided to sell wind power to other states," said the official. "Now that the Tamil Nadu government has lifted section 11 of the Electricity Act, we can sell power to other states. "We can even sell at 5.50 per unit to states which need renewable power but we are ready to offer it at 4.1 per unit.
