Quick answer
To prepare a wind survey licence, prepare proposed site and coordinates, measurement and mast plan, company capability, land, aviation and environmental considerations, confirm the current process with the Department of Electricity Development, ERC and relevant grid utility, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Developers measuring and studying a wind-energy site
- Applicants who need to prepare a wind survey licence using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Licensed company, promoter, project or authorized representative identity
- □ proposed site and coordinates
- □ measurement and mast plan
- □ company capability
- □ land, aviation and environmental considerations
- □ Official DoED, ERC, NEA or project application and licence reference
- □ Official licence, regulatory, study, grid or service fee receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the Department of Electricity Development, ERC and relevant grid utility is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across proposed site and coordinates, measurement and mast plan, company capability, land, aviation and environmental considerations.
- Define the measurement area and period, submit the technical work plan, obtain site permissions, and maintain verified wind data.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched proposed site and coordinates, measurement and mast plan, company capability, land, aviation and environmental considerations
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Short or poorly located measurements can misstate the resource and project viability.

After submitting

- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
