Description of the small-scale project activity:

The project activity is to establish a 1.5 MW Wind Electric Generator (WEG) in Tirunelveli District, Tamilnadu and export the electricity generated to the State grid the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. The substation is located at Udayathoor village which is at a distance of 10 KM’s from project site. The electricity is being generated from wind power thereby displacing the electricity from the grid that is dominated by carbon intensive fossil fuels.

The expected net electricity export to the grid by the project activity is 4086 MWh annually. The generation from the project activity is exported to the grid for sale and there is no wheeling or adjustment involved. Electricity generated from Wind is a renewable source of energy and supports in reducing green house gases emissions. The project activity is commissioned during March, 2008.

The project proponent has not implemented any other renewable energy project other than the proposed project activity.

Prior to the implementation of the project activity, the same amount of electricity generated by the wind project could have been generated at the grid system by carbon intensive thermal power plants.

The Project activity utilises the velocity of the wind in the atmosphere for power generation by installation of Wind Electric Generators. In wind power generation, kinetic energy of wind is converted into mechanical energy and subsequently into electrical energy.
