Ruchi Soya Industries Limited operates 56 wind turbines with a total capacity of 44.40 MW in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Three turbines feed electricity into the grid via wheeling for the company's own plants, while the remaining electricity is sold to the respective state utilities. The electricity replaces fossil-based NEWNE grid energy. Expected reduction in emissions: on average 81,853 tCO2e per year.
Aims of the project
The project uses wind energy to generate electricity and feeds it into the NEWNE grid. Three wind turbines in Ratlam supply electricity to RSIL plants in Madhya Pradesh via wheeling. The remaining electricity is sold to the state utilities in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. This replaces climate-impacting grid electricity and mitigates climate change.

Economic and social benefits
1
Jobs
Creates temporary and permanent jobs at the wind farm sites (skilled and semi-skilled).
2
Infrastructure
Improvement of supporting infrastructure such as roads in the project areas.
3
Energy security
Utilizes domestic wind resources and reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels.
4
Economic impetus
Investments and operations increase economic activity in the local regions.
5
Knowledge & Technology
The project promotes interest in wind energy and supports future technology development.
Global climate significance
Emission reduction
On average 81,853 tCO2e per year over the crediting period.
Fossil replacement
Replaces fossil-intensive generation in the NEWNE grid (OM 0.9941; BM 0.8123 tCO2/MWh).
No fuels
Wind operation without fuels; project and leakage emissions are not recognized.
Additionality:
Without the project, the electricity would have come from the grid mix (baseline scenario).
The Sustainable Development Goals achieved
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.
It promotes sustainable consumption and production patterns in order to operate within planetary boundaries. It focuses on decoupling resource consumption and emissions and promoting the circular economy in order to minimize waste and pollution. Consumers are to be empowered to consume responsibly through information and measures such as reducing food waste.
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.
Conclusion
The 44.40 MW wind project feeds clean electricity into the NEWNE grid and replaces fossil fuel generation. It achieves measurable reductions in emissions and brings local employment and infrastructure benefits. The crediting period ran from 26.02.2010 to 25.02.2020.
Further opportunities to get involved
Our two core projects, PROJECT TOGO and Deutschland Plus, offer you numerous opportunities to actively contribute to climate protection - far beyond CO2 offsetting.
