COMMUNICATION WITH NALCO CMD- OFF SHORE WIND FARM

6^th June 2013

Mr. Ansuman Das

Chairman & Managing Director

NALCO

Bhubaneswar

Sub: Offshore Wind Farm

Dear Mr. Das,

I had the opportunity to listen to your informative and inspiring speech on the occasion of World Environment Day Organized by Times of India Group at Swosti Premium, Bhubaneswar on 5^th June 2013.

It was very interesting to know that NALCO is investing heavily on Environment; Carbon Dioxide Sequesting, Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar and Zero Effluent Discharge Company. NALCO has been a Innovative Company from start in selection of its Technology, Management Process and HR Policy of meritocracy; no wonder, NALCO has become a NAVARATNA company in public sector.

I just wish to suggest that NALCO could explore the possibility of investing in Offshore Wind Farm for Renewable Energy which has remain untapped in the 482 Km of Odisha Coastline. Mahakalapada Block of Kendrapada District could be an Ideal location for Offshore Wind Farm as it is closer to the grid for evacuation of power and also closer to Paradeep Port that would facilitate faster and economical commissioning of such project. Apart from Renewable Energy; Off shore Wind Farm Structures, under water would produce huge amount of ‘Moss’ that could create conducive environment for Marine Aquatic life and therefore would improve the Economic Conditions of poor Fishermen Community in the coastline.

Hope, NALCO would examine this proposal.

Kind Regards,
