Wind and solar power Karnataka

Location:Karnataka, India
SDG:Wind and solar power
Certificate type:VCSDatabase

The installation and operation of wind and solar power plants in the state of Karnataka, India, is a major initiative to promote renewable energies. With a total capacity of 148.8 MW, the project consists of three wind turbines with 39.6 MW each (118.8 MW in total) and a solar plant with 30 MW. These plants feed emission-free energy into the national power grid and contribute to the decarbonization of India's energy mix.



Project goals


Generation of clean energy: Use of wind and solar resources to provide emission-free energy.
Climate protection: Reducing greenhouse gases and promoting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Regional development: creating jobs and improving infrastructure.
Energy independence: Reducing dependence on fossil fuels and strengthening national energy sovereignty.



Technical details



  • Total capacity: 148.8 MW

  • Wind power plants: Three projects with 39.6 MW each, connected to the 33/220 kV pooling station in Basavana Bagewadi and further to the KPTCL substation (220/110/33/11 kV).

  • Solar plant: Capacity of 30 MW, connected to the 66/11 kV substation in Kogali.

  • Project operator: Subsidiaries of Atria Power Corporation Pvt. Limited.

  • Status: All plants have been in operation since the start of the project in April 2020 and supply energy to the grid


Economic and social benefits



  • Jobs and skills: Creation of new jobs in the region and promotion of local skills.

  • Improving infrastructure: Investments in regional infrastructure strengthen the economy

  • Health benefits: Avoiding pollutants such as SO₂ and particulate matter contributes to improved air quality and public health.


Global climate impact



  • CO₂ reduction: Savings of 359,473 tons of CO₂ per year, which equates to over 3.5 million tons in ten years.

  • Role model character: The project demonstrates the successful integration of wind and solar energy and inspires similar projects worldwide.

  • Supporting international climate targets: Contribution to achieving India's climate targets and commitments under the Paris Agreement.


Conclusion: The wind and solar project in Karnataka is a showcase model for clean energy projects. It combines technological innovation with sustainable economic and social progress and makes an essential contribution to the global energy transition.
