By displacing electricity generation from fossil fuel-based power plants connected to the NEWNE grid, the project reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The expected emission reductions are 4,946 tCO₂ annually, amounting to 49,460 tCO₂ over the fixed crediting period of 10 years.

This is a greenfield renewable power project, developed on unused barren land with no prior industrial, residential, or power generation activity. The project therefore required no demolition or resettlement. In its absence, an equivalent amount of electricity would have been generated by fossil fuel-based grid-connected power plants.

Contribution to Sustainable Development

The project contributes to sustainable development across following key dimensions:
