The Govt. of Karnataka has allocated 78.9MW wind farm to Bhoruka Power Corporation Ltd during 2009 in Gadag District for development of wind farms under three phases.

Under 1st phase 25.5MW wind farm comprising of 17units of 1.5MW wind turbine generators were installed in Yelisirur village, Gadag Hobli-Taulk-District and commissioned on 18.05.2012.

Each WTG is connected with KPTCL grid via a unit transformer of 1.6MVA 0.69/33kV. Generation from all the 17 WTGs is transmitted by three numbers of 33kV intra-farm lines upto Yelisirur Pooling Station for a distance of 9.43Ckms and pooled energy at 33kV level is fed to KPTCL’s Sub-station at Shirahatti at 110kV level via a 30MVA 33/110kV Power Transformer & a 110kV SC line on DC towers for a distance of 4.72Ckms. Wind farm is under operation with SCADA.
