In the absence of the project activity, the equivalent amount of electricity would have been generated from the connected power plants in the Southern grid which are predominantly based on fossil fuel. The project activity employs a clean technology for the generation of the electricity and without emitting any kind of GHGs and other objectionable pollutants that are detrimental to the environment.Thus, the applied technology is environmentally safe and sound for electricity generation.

Contribution of the project activity to sustainable development

The project activity contributes to sustainable development in the manner specified by Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India as follows:
 
Contribution to Social Wellbeing:

• The project activity is generating electricity equivalent to 8.25 MW from clean and renewable energy source helping the state electricity grid in meeting their electricity demand.
• The project activity contributes in creating employment opportunities during its operation.

Contribution to Economic Wellbeing:

• The project is creating local employment on the project site as well as nearby the site while its maintenance and operation.

Contribution to Environmental Wellbeing:

• The project activity harnesses wind energy for generating and supplying electricity displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. It is thereby leading to reduction in emission of greenhouse gases associated with fossil fuel-based electricity generation.

Contribution to Technological Wellbeing:

• In wind energy generation, kinetic energy of wind is converted into mechanical energy and subsequently into electrical energy.
• The technology is a clean technology since there are no GHG emissions associated with the electricity generation. The technology thus being used in the project activity represents environmentally friendly technology for the application.
