The Maritime Spatial Planning project is a joint project under the Centre of Excellence focused on the rough and fine screening process in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, including the heat mapping and conceptual planning basis for the selected zones. The Maritime Spatial Planning project builds on the existing work carried out in the FOWIND and FOWPI projects to refine and make further recommendations supporting a clear and transparent future planning and collaborative balance of interests, which will encourage investments in offshore wind
The port infrastructure study is focused on assessement of the viability of existing ports in the regions of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu to support up to 30 GW of offshore wind development using 15+ MW wind turbines. This includes assessment of all viable ports located adjacent to the identified offshore wind zones located off the coasts of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Based on the assessment, the project also identifies possibilities for upgrade/development of port facilities.
Both projects have been based on extensive stakeholder consultation and will be important contributions for the coming offshore wind tenders in India.
