PROJECT PROFILE · CERTIFICATE-BASED CLIMATE PROTECTION
The project operates wind turbines with a total capacity of 44.40 MW in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. This page documents project activity, methodology, standard and registry entry – and contextualises what supporting it does and does not mean.
COUNTRY
India
GOLD STANDARD ID
GS7152
PROJECT TYPE
Wind energy
INSTALLED CAPACITY
252 MW
WHY POWER GENERATION MATTERS
Wind turbines generate electricity without burning fossil fuels. When this electricity is fed into the grid, it can displace more emission-intensive power generation. The eligible emissions reduction is determined based on the actual amount of electricity supplied to the grid and the applicable calculation methodology. The baseline comparison refers to the electricity generation that would be expected in the absence of the project.
A traceable project contribution links the project activity with verified data and clear documentation.

VERIFICATION OF REGISTER DETAILS
28/10/2026 · provided registry screenshot
Regarding the project identity: 1430 is the record number in the registry URL. The Gold Standard project ID is GS7152. Regarding the annual estimate: The projected value is neither a guaranteed annual figure nor an amount of credits already issued. The actual units issued are determined by the verified results of the respective monitoring periods.
02 · WHAT THE PROJECT DELIVERS
Harness wind power and feed electricity into the grid
The project uses wind energy to generate electricity in Gujarat. The energy generated is fed into the interconnected power grid and made available for the electricity supply.
01
Generate electricity from wind
The rotors of the wind turbines drive generators. The amount of electricity generated depends, among other things, on the wind supply and the availability of the turbines.
02
Feed energy into the grid
The electricity generated is fed in via the grid connection. It can replace a proportion of fossil-fuel generation within the electricity system.
03
Document operation and electricity volumes
Measurement data and operational records form the basis for monitoring. They show which electricity volumes are included in the calculation for a specific period.
03 · HOW AN EMISSIONS REDUCTION IS CALCULATED
The amount of electricity is measured. The reduction in emissions is calculated through a methodological comparison with the baseline electricity supply in the absence of the project. Each issued unit represents one tonne of CO₂ equivalent within the verified accounting framework.
01
Determine comparison scenario
The reference scenario describes the electricity generation assumed to take place without the project. The methodology determines how its emissions are assessed.
02
Record grid feed-in
The net electricity volume relevant for the calculation is recorded. The data base must comply with the applicable monitoring requirements.
03
Calculate emission reduction
The amount of electricity is linked to the methodologically determined emission factor of the electricity system. Mandatory project and correction parameters are taken into account.
04
Check and issue units
An independent verification body checks the data for the monitoring period. Following successful verification and approval, the corresponding units can be issued in the Gold Standard registry.
04 · CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PROJECT
On-site renewable electricity generation and operations
The wind farm expands renewable electricity generation in Gujarat. Operation, maintenance and monitoring require technical work. Specific results are described for each relevant period along with their verification.
ENERGY
Harnessing wind as an energy source
The plants provide additional capacity for generating electricity from wind. Operating and monitoring data show how much electricity is actually fed into the grid.
WORK
Operating and maintaining systems and equipment
The wind farm requires maintenance, technical monitoring and other services. A specific number of jobs created or a particular local income impact is not disclosed here.
EMISSIONS
Displace more emission-intensive power generation
The eligible emission reduction is calculated in accordance with ACM0002 based on a comparison with the assumed electricity generation in the absence of the project.

05 · FOR SUPPORTING COMPANIES
A project contribution requires a unique assignment
Support is provided through the purchase and retirement of certificates from this project. Retirement removes the units in question from circulation and documents their use for the named beneficiary or purpose. If purchased via intermediaries, the procurement route is also documented. The certificate price alone does not indicate the amount that reaches the project developer. To ensure the project contribution is traceable, at least the following details are recorded.
Project name and Gold Standard ID GS7152
Quantity of retired units in t CO₂e
Vintage or corresponding monitoring period
Date and reference of decommissioning
Serial numbers or unique unit references
Beneficiary and documented purpose of use
Only specific documentation makes it clear which units have been assigned to a project contribution.
06 · CLASSIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION
What a
certificate-
based
project contribution
means
A project contribution is presented separately from the emissions balance and reduction measures of the supporting company.
THE PROJECT CONTRIBUTION DOCUMENTS
IT DOES NOT FOLLOW
the purchase and cancellation of certain certificates
a reduction in your own company's or product emissions
supporting a wind energy project outside of its own value chain
an electricity supply from this wind farm to the supporting company
an emission reduction calculated and verified according to an established methodology
the direct measurement of avoided CO₂ emissions at an individual plant
the allocation of units from a specific period
a guarantee of equally high emission reductions in future years
the project's certification framework
an environmental seal of quality for products or the entire supporting company
a documented write-off or decommissioning
the admissibility of each advertising claim
This support is not a substitute for measures to avoid and reduce your own emissions. It does not imply the climate neutrality of a product or company. Communication framework: name the project, explain the type of support, and make proof accessible.
07 · SOURCES AND RELEVANCE
Making the foundation openly accessible
Project documents, certificate holdings and retirements are subject to change. The current registry entry and the documents for the respective monitoring period are authoritative for the allocation of specific units.
