Electricity grid of wind energy can be set up by establishing wind energy parks of major capacity in these districts. more wind energy will be tapped at Jamgodrani Hills in Dewas district by replacing old wind turbine generators with new ones. New and Renewable Energy Department has prepared a detailed project report for wind energy parks in these districts.
