Wind Energy Project in Harshnath, India

The objective of this carbon offset project is development, design, engineering, procurement, finance, construction, operation and maintenance of wind power projects totaling 4.8 MW wind power projects in the Indian state of Rajasthan to provide reliable, renewable power to the Rajasthan state electricity grid which is part of the Northern regional electricity grid. The project will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions because it displaces electricity from fossil fuel based electricity generation plants.

The carbon offset project activity contributes towards sustainable development of the country and the state of Rajasthan by reducing the dependency on fossil fuel based electricity generation, which ultimately leads to reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon offset project also fulfils several other sustainable development objectives as set out below:

• Carbon Dioxide abatement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through development of renewable technology
• Reducing the average emission intensity, average effluent intensity and average solid waste intensity of power generation in the system
• Conserving natural resources including land, forests, minerals, water and ecosystems and
• Developing the local economy and create jobs and employment, particularly in rural areas, which is a priority concern for the Government of India

The total estimated reductions from this carbon offset project are 16,591 tonnes of CO2e
