The developers will be responsible for receiving wind potential assessment and technical approval from the Agency for Non-Conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT).

The developer can install the entire project at a single location or may configure the project as being sub-divided into several blocks in Kerala.

The scheduled date for the commissioning of the project will be 18 months from the effective date of the PPA. The maximum time for commissioning the total project capacity will be 270 days from the scheduled date.
