This Wind Power project provides emission free electricity generation by the installation of eighteen 800 kW wind electric generators in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The project is monitored under an approved Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Methodology and is registered with the Voluntary Carbon Standard. More than 25,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions are directly reduced each year by supporting this project
Sustainable Benefits for the Environment Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) are not regulatory requirements in India for wind projects, however,
an EIA study has been conducted and the results show that this project activity will not involve any negative environmental impacts, including
migratory patterns of birds species and a variety fauna. The project harnesses renewable resources in the region, thereby displacing non-renewable natural
resources, ultimately leading to sustainable economic and environmental development.
Beyond Carbon Benefits
