The project converts wind energy to electrical energy. Power generated by the wind turbines will be both exported to the grid and captured for storage. Since power generated by wind energy is considered carbon neutral and the reliance on power dominated by fossil fuels will be significantly reduced, this project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG’s) emitted into the atmosphere.
General Overview - Knowledge pills about Tamil Nadu
The Tamil Nadu Wind Farm main project activity scope is to generate clean form of electricity through the use of wind as a source of renewable energy. The project involves the implementation of 249.9 MW wind power project in Tamil Nadu state, near the Mela Thattaparai village, in the southern part of India
The project will replace anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses ( estimated to be approximately 707,515 tCO2e per year. In fact, the project will be able to displace 755,550 MWh/year of electricity from the generation-mix of power plants connected to the Indian grid, which is mainly dominated by thermal/fossil fuel-based power plants.
India is heavily dependent on fossil fuels for the production of electricity and it is of paramount importance to invest in the production of energy through the use of clean sources such as wind.
