Sustainable Development Goals

4. Quality Education

USD 40,000

invested to improve access to education

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

156,000 MWh

of clean energy generated on average annually with wind energy

8. Decent work and economic growth

12 permanent jobs

plus 84 temporary jobs created, boosting the local economy

13. Climate Action

75,000 tonnes of CO2e

reduced on average each year by preventing methane from entering the atmosphere

The Solution

This greenfield project comprises five solar photovoltaic (SPV) locations in the Indian States of Telangana, Gujarat and Rajasthan, together with a total installed capacity of 205 MW. This grid-connected project supplies emissions-free energy to Indias electricity grid, replacing carbon-intensive energy sources.
