The project comprises the development, construction and operation of a 60 MW wind farm by Enercon Wind Farm (Hindustan) Ltd. in Rajasthan. The electricity generated will flow into the Rajasthan state grid, which is part of the northern regional grid. This displaces fossil-based power generation and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The project is listed as a Gold Standard Certified Project; product: VER.
Project goals
Clean electricity for the grid
The aim is to provide reliable, renewable energy for the electricity grid in the state of Rajasthan. This will replace electricity from fossil fuel power plants and reduce emissions. Implementation includes the development, planning, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the wind farm.

Global climate significance
Emission reduction
The project replaces electricity from fossil sources and thus reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Renewable feed-in:
Feeding wind power into a large regional grid supports the decarbonization of the electricity mix.
Verifiability
emission credits (VER) are shown in the register and partially decommissioned, which creates transparency.
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.
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.
Conclusion
The wind farm in Rajasthan feeds renewable electricity into a large regional grid and reduces emissions by replacing fossil fuel generation. The impact can be tracked via verified emission credits in the register.
