Tamil Nadu Wind Power Project, India (CDM 7901)

The Tamil Nadu Wind Power Project is a grid-connected renewable energy installation registered under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).

Located in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, the project generates electricity from wind and supplies it directly to the regional grid. By producing renewable electricity, it displaces fossil-fuel-based generation — predominantly coal-fired power — resulting in measurable and verified greenhouse gas emission reductions.

The project is registered under CDM Project ID 7901 and applies the internationally recognised ACM0002 methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources. Emission reductions are calculated based on the carbon intensity of the regional grid and are independently validated and verified by accredited Designated Operational Entities (DOEs).

The project is estimated to deliver approximately 218,000 tonnes of CO₂e reductions per year, making it a large-scale renewable infrastructure initiative within the CDM portfolio. Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) have been issued following independent verification and are tracked through the UNFCCC registry system.

By displacing coal-intensive grid electricity, the project contributes to India’s renewable energy transition while delivering registry-backed, transparent climate impact.
