India
project_image_303226.jpg

Thanks to carbon finance, the wind energy industry in India is rapidly developing, introducing an environmentally sound and cost-effective alternative to meet the country’s growing power demand. With lowering costs, renewables are becoming more and more attractive, particularly in relation to relying on imported coal or nuclear for electricity.

Sustainable Development Goals

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

88,000 MWh

of clean energy generated on average per year

8. Decent work and economic growth

Job opportunities

for local people in a future proof industry

9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

84 wind turbines

installed and local infrastructure like roads has been improved

13. Climate Action

83,000 tonnes of CO2e

avoided thanks to this investment in clean energy

The Solution

This project installs and runs 84 turbines, to harness strong prevailing winds across the state of Tamilnandu. The project replaces fossil fuel generated electricity, instead exporting clean and renewable energy to the national grid.
