This wind energy project, now owned by Vaayu Renewable Energy (Tapti) Pvt. Ltd. and maintained by Wind World (India) Limited, displaces approximately 27,546 tCO2e annually by generating 30,690.83 MWh/yr of clean electricity. Originally supplying the state grid, the 14.4 MW project (18 x 800 kW WECs) supplies to SRF Limited via the Tamil Nadu grid. By providing emission-free power, the project helps meet Tamil Nadu's energy demand, promotes sustainable growth, conserves resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to the predominantly fossil fuel-based southern grid it displaces.
Contribution to Sustainable Development
The project aligns with the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India's criteria for CDM projects, contributing to social, economic, environmental, and technological well-being:
1. Social Well-Being:
Generates employment opportunities for skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers in rural Tirunelveli.
Develops supporting infrastructure, such as road networks, improving access for local communities.
Enhances energy security by reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and mitigating price volatility.
2. Economic Well-Being:
Creates temporary and permanent job opportunities at the wind farm.
Supplies electricity to the southern grid, improving grid stability and availability, which supports local industries, economic activities, and overall regional development.
3. Environmental Well-Being:
Reduces GHG emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation.
Promotes resource conservation using renewable wind energy.
4. Technological Well-Being:
Employs advanced wind energy technology (E-53 WTGs), contributing to the adoption of clean energy solutions in India.
