Wind Energy for Clean Power, India

This project contributes to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, delivering measurable environmental and social outcomes.

Project details

This wind energy project is based in rural India, where increasing energy demand is met with a shift from fossil fuels to renewable resources. By harnessing wind power, the project feeds clean energy into the local grid, reducing dependence on carbon-intensive energy sources and fostering sustainable development. 

About the project

India’s growing population and urbanisation are driving an ever-increasing demand for energy. Historically, much of this energy has come from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. This wind energy project offers a renewable alternative that is both sustainable and carbon-free. 

The wind farm supplies green energy directly to the local grid, displacing the electricity previously generated from high-carbon fossil fuels. Beyond environmental benefits, the project fosters socioeconomic growth by creating jobs throughout its lifecycle—from manufacturing turbine blades and masts to construction and ongoing operation. 

Wind energy is a sustainable solution to India’s energy challenges, offering a renewable resource that does not emit carbon dioxide when generating power. Projects like this are vital for achieving a transition to cleaner energy while supporting rural communities and ensuring long-term economic benefits. 

Collaborations 

Anthesis provides financial support to this initiative through the purchase of carbon credits, helping to scale the project’s impact and promote renewable energy. 

Quality criteria

This project is certified to Gold Standard, ensuring high-quality monitoring, transparency, and verification. Anthesis’s membership in ICROA (International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance) ensures adherence to internationally recognised best practices, providing reliable and credible offsetting. 

All Anthesis-supported carbon removal projects undergo independent verification to confirm permanent carbon storage and measurable environmental benefits. Projects must demonstrate alignment with UN SDGs 12, 13, and 15, promote soil and ecosystem health, and deliver robust climate and nature outcomes.

Through rigorous auditing, monitoring, and adherence to international standards, Anthesis ensures all projects provide credible, lasting impact for both climate and local communities.
