Overview
Update 2021
Why this project?
The objective of this project is the development, design, engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance of the Enercon Wind Farm in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Through this project, reliable, renewable power is provided to the Rajasthan state electricity grid, which is part of the Northern regional electricity grid. The project harnesses renewable resources in the region, and thereby displaces nonrenewable natural resources, ultimately leading to sustainable economic and environmental development.
Carbon impact
This project aims to produce electricity using renewable wind energy, reducing the release of harmful greenhouse gases into the environment. It is estimated that the project will prevent approximately 63,154 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, which would have been produced by traditional fossil fuel power plants in the absence of this project. Instead of relying on these polluting sources, the project utilizes Wind Energy Converters (WECs) to generate electricity without emissions. In summary, the project helps protect the environment by replacing the need for fossil fuel-based power generation with clean and sustainable wind energy, reducing the impact of climate change.
Co-benefits
The project brings benefits to the local community by creating jobs for small shops and construction workers while improving connectivity to nearby towns. Additionally, water availability has increased, with tube wells 3 km away, easily accessible. Safety measures are in place, with no accidents reported. There are no noise disturbances, and the project site is distant from local homes. In 2004, a school was reconstructed by the project developer in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, and they will consider the community's needs, including education and opportunities for women, in future development work. In terms of biodiversity, the project doesn't disrupt cattle grazing, as no boundary walls block their access to grazing and water, and bird migration patterns are unaffected.
