1 PROJECT DETAILS

1.1 Summary Description of the Project

The project activity is a wind power project having total capacity 6.3MW (2.1 MW x 03 nos.) The
project activity involves the implementation of 3 nos. of SUZLON make S-88 WTGs of capacity 2.1
MW each. The project activity utilizes the kinetic energy of wind, for generation of electrical energy
through wind electric generator. In wind power generation, kinetic energy of wind is converted into
mechanical energy by using wind turbine and subsequently into electrical energy.

The generated electricity from the project activity will be sold to the state grid of Tamil Nadu which
comes under Southern grid of India. The project activity can generate electricity to the order of
12.792 Million kWh annually which otherwise been generated by existing power plants or addition of
new power plants in the Southern grid. The renewable electricity generation will displace electricity
and associated GHG emissions approximately 11,733 tonnes of CO 2 equivalent from the Southern
grid

The project activity is implemented by M/s. Nagarjuna Agrichem Limited. (NACL) and is selling the
generated electricity to state electricity utility. The project activity details are as follow:

 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: VCS Version 3

Tirunelveli Junction Railway Station is a major railhead of the Southern Railways. Nellai Express
runs daily between Chennai and Tirunelveli. Nearest airports are the Madurai Airport (151 km)
and Trivandrum International Airport (160 km).

1.10 Conditions Prior to Project Initiation

In the absence of the project activity, the equivalent amount of electricity would have been
generated from the connected / new power plants in the Southern Region grid, which are / will be
predominantly based on fossil fuels. The main emission source in the pre-project scenario is the
power plants connected to the Southern grid and main greenhouse gas involved is CO2.
The project activity is a renewable source of electricity generation and will supply the electricity to
the Southern Region grid. The project activity is a wind power plant of capacity 6.3 MW. The
project activity uses wind energy in producing electricity and no other input is being used,
therefore, it will not produce any GHG emission during its lifetime
