The Belgaum Wind farm is a key infrastructure asset in India's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 50.4 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Tata Power, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2017, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within India, Belgaum Wind farm occupies the #21 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 50.4 MW capacity represents a 0.81% share of India's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 6,211 MW. The largest operational wind installation in India is the Muppandal Wind Farm with an output of 1,500 MW, making the Belgaum Wind farm approximately 29.8 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0098% of India's aggregate generation capacity of 513,890 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 132,451 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in India consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 44,150 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Belgaum Wind farm contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping India advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 15.9349° latitude and 74.7007° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Belgaum Power Plant (gas, 81.3 MW), Ghataprabha (solar, 40 MW), GHAT PRABHA (hydro, 32 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of India.
