Wind energy is a type of affordable and clean energy. Goal 7 of United Nation focuses on the “access to affordable, reliable, sustainable modern energy to all” (SDG 7). All 17 goals are to be achieved by 2030. Wind energy is a cost effective and natural source of renewable energy. Wind turbines can be installed both onshore and off shore locations.
Wind power is a type of clean energy which does not contribute towards the air pollution. Wind energy reduces the greenhouse gas emission and mitigate the climatic change. Technological improvement leads to cost reduction of wind energy and increase efficiency. Many international organizations and government are providing the incentives for the usage of wind energy by providing subsidies, tax credits and regulatory framework.
