Mumbai: Tata Power said its 50.4-MW wind power project at Gadag in Karnataka has been registered under the clean development mechanism (CDM) programme by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The wind farm was commissioned in July, 2009. It has 63 wind turbine generators of 800 KW capacity each.
The Gadag plant helps in reducing an annual average of 99,100 tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent, by producing 107,064 MWh per year (average) equivalent amount of clean energy.
The plant is Tata Power’s fourth CDM-registered project after the 50.4-MW wind project at Khandke, Maharashtra; 50.4-MW wind project at Samana, Gujarat and 25-MW solar project at Mithapur, Gujarat.
Tata Power currently has 397 MW of operating wind power and 28 MW of solar generation capacity. The company proposes to add 150-200 MW of wind and 50 MW of solar power capacity every year.
CDM is an instrument established under the Kyoto Protocol to achieve both sustainable development and contribute to the cost effective mitigation of climate change
