- Provides 9,899 MWh/year of clean electricity to the southern India power grid
- Replaces fossil fuels energy resulting in 9,535 tCO2e being avoided annually
- Created 15 permanent job opportunities, 7 of which were hired locally
- Supports the local primary school, benefiting over 120 students
- Organized a health camp benefitting 400 community members
About renewable
These projects create the infrastructure needed to generate renewable energy harnessed from natural resources like the sun or wind. Once these sources are in place, they become a permanent source of clean energy.
How it works
- The project developer funds the installation of a power plant that runs off of solar photovoltaic technology.
- The development of the facility creates jobs for local community members to help install the infrastructure and to maintain the powerplant
- The electricity generated from the powerplant is used to replace the electricity that had been supplying the grid, generated from fossil fuels. This reduces associated carbon emissions.
- The project developer uses their connections within the community to fund initiatives that support local schools and health centres
