The project comprises the construction and operation of a 300 MW solar photovoltaic power plant in the Bhadla Solar Park, Rajasthan, India. Developed by Clean Solar Power (Bhadla) Pvt. Ltd, it aims to produce renewable energy to be fed into the Indian power grid. The project is Gold Standard certified and makes a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Project goals
Reduction of CO₂ emissions by an average of 693,327 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually
Generation of clean electricity through the use of solar energy (741,845 MWh/year)
Promotion of local employment and technological development in the region.
Contribution to sustainable development, in particular SDGs 7, 8 and 13.

Expected electricity generation: 741,845 MWh per year
Project duration: 25 years with an initial crediting period of 5 years
Economic and social benefits
Direct employment: 36 people during the operational phase
Training courses: At least one per year for operation and maintenance
Socio-economic effects: Improvement of local infrastructure, increase in local technical expertise, CSR measures such as access to drinking water and support for schools
Gender equality: The project developer commits to equal wages for men and women and fair working conditions
Global climate impact
The project is making an important contribution to the energy transition in India, where the electricity grid is still heavily based on fossil fuels. With an annual avoidance of around 693,000 tonnes of CO₂, it is becoming a model project in the fight against climate change. It is an example of:
large-scale, emission-free energy production
the application of proven methods for calculating baseline emissions and additional savings
the successful integration of SDG standards into climate-relevant infrastructure projects
The fulfilled Sustainable Development Goals
In addition to reducing CO2 emissions, the climate protection projects generate a variety of additional benefits for people and the environment. This enables and strengthens our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The goal is access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for all. It aims to increase the share of renewable energies and double energy efficiency, particularly in developing countries. The expansion of renewable energies and the adaptation of infrastructure are key to minimizing environmental pollution and achieving climate targets.
It promotes sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. It includes increasing resource efficiency and decoupling economic growth from environmental consumption. In addition, the focus is on innovations and green business models that ensure both economic progress and social prosperity.
The aim is to take immediate action against climate change and its effects. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote climate adaptation measures and raise awareness of climate impacts. Particular emphasis is placed on international cooperation to support poorer countries in combating climate change and strengthening climate resilience.
Other ways to engage
Our two favorite projects, PROJECT TOGO and Deutschland Plus, offer you numerous opportunities to actively contribute to climate protection - far beyond CO2 offsetting.
