Clean solar energy for three Indian statesIndian's energy supply is dominated by thermal/fossil fuel based power plants which lead to high CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the demand for energy is higher than the ammount of energy that India can currently supply.
To address these issues, our carbon offset project uses solar power to produce renewable energy. It involves the installation of solar PV moduls in the three Indian states Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra and has a capacity of 225 megawatt.
The project saves about 329,720 tonnes of CO2 per year by displacing electricity that would have otherwise been produced by thermal/fossil fuel based power plants. The project activities also have a positive impact on the local economy as the solar power plant not only creates jobs for the construction and the operation of the plant but also enables businesses to be set up due to the better availability of electricity in the area.
