●  It is situated in the river basins of the Bhima and Krishna River.

●  The variation in relief ranges from the pinnacles and high plateaus of main Sahyadrians range having height over 4500 feet above mean sea level to the subdued basin of the Nira River.

●  The climate ranges from the rainiest in the Mahabaleshwar region.

●  The whole of Satara district falls within the Deccan Traps area; the hills consist of trap intersected by strata of basalt and topped with laterite.

●  It is famous for thermal power plant.

●  More than 65% of India's electricity generation capacity comes from thermal power plants, with 85% of the country's thermal power generation being coal-based.

●  The ten biggest thermal power stations operating in India are all coal-fired, with five of them owned and operated by state-run National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).

•   Wind power generation capacity in India has significantly increased in recent years. As of 31 January 2023, the total installed wind power capacity was 41.983 gigawatts (GW), the fourth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.

•   Tamil Nadu's wind production capacity was around 24% of India's total in 2021.

•   Tamil Nadu's Muppandal windfarm, the total capacity is 1500 MW with nearly 3000 wind turbines, the largest wind power plant in India.

•   Gujarat has around 22% of the total capacity of the country.

•   Maharashtra As of the end of March 2016, the installed wind power capacity is 4655.25 MW. As of now there are 50 developers registered with the state nodal agency "Maharashtra Energy Development Agency" for the development of wind power projects.

•   4298 MW wind power plant has been installed in Rajasthan.

•   Odisha a coastal state has a higher potential for wind energy. The current installed capacity stands at 2.0 MW. Odisha has a wind power potential of 1700MW.

•   The total installation in West Bengal is 2.10 MW till Dec 2009 at Fraserganj, Distt- South 24 Paraganas. More 0.5 MW (approx) at Ganga Sagar, Kakdwip, Distt – South 24 Paraganas.

•   The union territory of Ladakh and its Kargil district are potential wind energy areas, which are yet to be exploited. Wind Speeds are higher during the winter months in Ladakh, which is complementary to the hydropower available during the summer months from the snow melt water.
