The electricity generated is supplied to Jodhpur Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (JVVNL), which is connected to the NEWNE Grid (North-East-West-North-East) of India. In the absence of this project, the equivalent power would have been generated from grid-connected thermal power plants, primarily based on fossil fuels. Therefore, the project supports climate action by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributing to a cleaner energy mix.

Contribution to Sustainable Development

The project contributes to sustainable development across four key dimensions:

1. Social Wellbeing

• The project has created both direct and indirect employment opportunities for local residents during the construction, erection, and transportation phases.
• It supports community development by strengthening local infrastructure and skills in the renewable energy sector.

2. Economic Wellbeing

• By demonstrating the commercial viability of wind energy, the project promotes further private investment in Rajasthan’s renewable energy sector.
• It stimulates local economies through enhanced employment, service contracts, and ancillary business opportunities, contributing to long-term regional development.

3. Environmental Wellbeing

• The project displaces electricity that would otherwise be generated from fossil fuels, thereby reducing GHG emissions and conserving non-renewable resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
• Wind energy generation produces no air, water, or solid waste pollution, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
•  The project contributes to both global climate goals and local environmental protection efforts by promoting clean energy.

4. Technological Wellbeing

• The project utilizes modern, grid-interactive wind turbine technology that is both efficient and environmentally sound.
• It enhances energy diversification in Rajasthan by integrating renewable sources into the state’s energy mix.
• The successful implementation of the project showcases the region’s wind energy potential and serves as a model to encourage further adoption of similar technologies.
