The project activity employs a clean technology for the electricity-generation and doesn’t emit any kind of GHGs and other objectionable pollutants. Thus, the applied technology is environmentally safe and sound for electricity generation.

Contribution of the project activity to sustainable development

The Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India has suggested social well-being, economic well-being, environmental well-being and technological well-being as the four indicators for sustainable development elaborated as follow:

Contribution to Social Wellbeing:

• The project activity is generating electricity equivalent to 14.85 MW from clean and renewable energy source. This aids the state electricity grid in meeting their electricity demand. The project activity has created employment opportunities during its operation.

Contribution to Economic Wellbeing:

• The lands purchased for the wind farms is mostly non arable and sparsely inhabited areas. The local residents are recruited and employed while in its maintenance and operation.
• In addition, there is rural and infrastructure development such as roads around the wind farms.

Contribution to Environmental Wellbeing:

• The project related GHG emissions are nil for the project activity as it uses natural wind only as the energy source, so there is further reduction in generation of SO2, NO2 and particulates commonly associated with electricity generation in thermal power plants.

Contribution to Technological Wellbeing:

• The project activity is putting into use latest available WTGs from a leading manufacturer. This demonstrates the use of technology in harnessing the renewable energy and promote the further percolation of the technology.
• The clean renewable electricity generated also displaces the state electricity grid to meet their demands.
