Thanks all.

Establishment of a 150 kW Pilot wave energy plant in 1991 at Vizhinjam in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Vizhinjam wave energy plant was the world's first wave power plant working on Oscillating Water Column (OWC) technology.

Ocean Waves Energy Project Launched in Kerala state at 1991.

Yes, above all information are right. Thank you all.

Thank you for giving this valuable information.

You all are right.

Ocean waves produced in 1991 in India.

Ocean Waves Energy Project India's first ocean waves energy project was launched in 1991 at Vizhinjam near Thiruvandrum Kerala state.

Where this project was launched? was in Chennai or some other coastal towns.

Thanks sudipta.

In India the research and development activity for exploring wave energy started at the Ocean Engineering Centre, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1982. Primary estimates indicate that the annual wave energy potential along the Indian coast is between 5 MW to 15 MW per meter, thus a theoretical potential for a coast line of nearly 6000 KW works out to 40000-60000 MW approximately. However, the realistic and economical potential is likely to be considerably less.
