Project Story
The 2 MW wind power project site in Karnataka is located in Bableshwar Wind Park at Malaghan village at Basavana Bagewadi Taluka at Vijayapura district and 0.85 MW wind power project in Gujarat is located at Village Juna kataria, Khodasar of Bhachhau Taluka falling under Kutch district. On the other hand, the 3.5 MW solar PV power generation project site is located at Upparhalli village Hospet taluka within Bellari district of Karnataka. The generated electricity from this project activity is exported to the Indian grid. Electricity generated from 2 MW wind power plant in Karnataka is supplied to the local electricity distribution licensee Hubli Electricity Supply Company Limited (HESCOM), electricity generated from 0.85 MW wind power plant in Gujarat is supplied to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) while the 3.5 MW solar PV power plant supplies electricity to Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company Limited (GESCOM).
The project activity helps in Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction by using renewable resources (wind/solar energy) for generating power which otherwise would have been generated using grid mix power plants, which is dominated by fossil fuel based thermal power plants. The project activity is a Greenfield project aimed at utilizing wind and solar energy sources to generate electricity. In the pre-project scenario, the equivalent amount of electricity would have been generated by grid mix power plants connected Indian grid, which is dominated by fossil fuel based thermal power plant. The project activity, thus reduces the anthropogenic emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) in to the atmosphere associated with the equivalent amount of electricity generation from the fossil fuel-based grid connected power plant. Since the project activity is generating electricity through wind and solar energy, a clean renewable energy source it is not be causing any negative impact on the environment and thereby contributes to climate change mitigation efforts as well as sustainable development.
Social well-being
The project helps in generating employment opportunity during the construction and operational phases. The project activity leads to development in infrastructure in the region like development of roads power generation.
