A 69.3 MW wind project in Gujarat
See how a wind farm in Sayla is estimated to avoid more than 2.3 million tonnes of CO2e over 10 years.
Utility-scale wind for the Indian grid
The Sayla project generates electricity from wind turbines in the Surendranagar district of Gujarat. It produces about 246,348 MWh a year, and each unit displaces fossil-fuel generation on the grid.

From fossil-fuel power to wind at scale
Follow a wind project from design to a 10-year crediting period.
01 The challenge
New wind capacity counts for the climate only when it displaces fossil-fuel generation on the grid. A plant this size also has to keep performing for its 25-year life, not only in its first year.
02 The approach
The project feeds about 246,348 MWh a year into the grid from 69.3 MW of wind capacity. The reductions are estimated at about 230,384 tCO2e a year, with credits earned over a 10-year period.
03 Delivery
The plant runs at a plant load factor above 40% and is designed for a 25-year operational life. Over the 10-year crediting period, it is estimated to avoid more than 2.3 million tonnes of CO2e.
