In spite of erratic power supply and frequent energy crisis Kolar has not taken up any potential renewable energy development activity. Wind energy is potentially feasible and economically viable when considered on long term, but unfortunately progress in wind energy sector in Kolar is negligible. Wind energy can be efficiently used for water lifting and such other purposes.

The monthly hourly average wind speed is maximum in the month of July for Bagepalli (17.9 kmph) and Chintamani (17.8 km/h). The mean annual wind speed at Bagepalli is 10.84 kmph and corresponding power density is 20 W/Sq.m.
