The project activity is the installation of Wind Electric Generators (WEGs) in Tenkasi of Tirunelveli District in Tamil Nadu, Southern India. The project is located in one of the wind rich areas of the country and the capacity utilisation factor expected is about 28.6% with an estimated annualgeneration of 1,884,375 kWh per WEG. The project consists of 16 WEGs that are connected to the grid.The WEGs owned by different entities are bundled together.The project activity generates electricity and sells it to the State grid thereby displacing electricitythat would have been generated from predominantly thermal source. Electricity generated from theproject activity displaces approximately 22,552.2 t CO

e. The expected lifetime of the project is twenty years.The project assists in the sustainable development of the Country, and the State in large byreducing dependency on fossil fuels, reducing local air pollution, providing emission free clean electricityand providing employment to rural youth both during the construction phase and the entire lifetime of theproject.The highly coal dominated power sector in Tamil Nadu poses severe threats to the energysecurity and the environment as well. Promotion of such projects ensures adequate power supply,improved air quality, alternative sources of energy and improved local livelihoods.
