The project activity generates electricity and sells it to the State grid thereby displacing electricity
that would have been generated from predominantly thermal source. Electricity generated from the
project activity displaces approximately 22,552.2 t CO2e (tonnes of Carbon dioxide equivalent) annually.
During the initial crediting period of ten years the quantity of Carbon dioxide emission reductions
achieved would be 225522 t CO2e. The expected lifetime of the project is twenty years.
The project assists in the sustainable development of the Country, and the State in large by
reducing dependency on fossil fuels, reducing local air pollution, providing emission free clean electricity
and providing employment to rural youth both during the construction phase and the entire lifetime of the
project.
The highly coal dominated power sector in Tamil Nadu poses severe threats to the energy
security and the environment as well. Promotion of such projects ensures adequate power supply,
improved air quality, alternative sources of energy and improved local livelihoods.

CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
A.4.2. Type and category and technology of the small-scale project activity:
>>
Since, the capacity of the proposed project is only 12 MW, which is less than the maximum
qualifying capacity of 15MW, the project activity has been considered as a small scale CDM project
activity and UNFCCC indicative simplified modalities and procedures are applied. The project activity
utilizes the wind potential for power generation and exports the generated electricity to the grid.
According to small-scale CDM modalities the project activity falls under:
The registered peak demand of the Southern Regional grid during 2004 - 2005 was 22364 MW
indicating an increase of 1.99 % over the previous year. The unrestricted maximum demand was 22717
MW, the overall capacity shortage in the region was of the order of 0.62 % to 6.43 % during the year
2004-05. The maximum monthly capacity shortages were of the order of 0.12 % to 5.08 % in Andhra
Pradesh, 0.25 % to 13.26 % in Karnataka, 4.64 % to 4.90 % in Kerala and 0.4 % to 2.74 % in Tamilnadu.
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
The installed capacity of Southern Region at the end of financial year 2004-05 was
31876.15 MW. The total installed capacity comprises Hydro- 10707.47 MW (33.59 %), Thermal+ Gas+
Diesel- 17662.19 MW (55.41 %), Nuclear- 830 MW (2.60 %) and Wind+ R.E.S- 2676.49 MW (8.40 %).
There was an increase of 6.58 % in the installed capacity over the previous year through addition of
1969.23 MW in Southern Region. The Hydro Thermal ratio was 38:62 as on 31.03.2005. (Source: CEA –
Southern Regional Electricity Board – Bangalore. Annual Report 2004-05).
As it can be observed, the project activity has contributed an additional sustainable clean
generation source to the regional grid thereby reducing the dependency on fossil fuel by a small but
significant extent. As on date there has been no regulation either from the State Government or Central
Government on the generation sources. No policy from the Governments mandates the promotion or
implementation of renewable energy projects. Still the activity has been carried out by the project entities.
The project will generate electricity from WEGs in the State of Tamilnadu. The project activity
has been essentially conceived for selling the generated output to the state electricity utility. Hence the
wind power generated from the project site will be replacing the electricity generated from thermal power
stations feeding into regional grid (during power surplus time). Since wind power is free from GHG
emissions, the power generated will save the anthropogenic green house gas (GHG) emissions that would
have been generated by the fossil fuel based thermal power stations comprising coal, diesel, furnace oil
and gas. The estimation of GHG reductions by this project is limited to carbon-dioxide only.
A.4.3.1 Estimated amount of emission reductions over the chosen crediting period:
>>
The project activity is expected to reduce 22552.2 tonnes of CO2 annually. Projections have been
made assuming that the project will get registered in the year 2007.
A.4.5. Confirmation that the small-scale project activity is not a debundled component of a larger
project activity:
>>
According to paragraph 2 of Appendix C to the Simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small-
Scale CDM project activities (FCCC/CP/2002/7/Add.3), a small-scale project is considered a debundled
component of a large project activity if there is a registered small-scale activity or an application to
register another small-scale activity:
• With the same project participants
• In the same project category and technology; and
• Registered within the previous two years; and
• Whose project boundary is within 1km of the project boundary of the proposed small scale
activity
None of the above applies to 12 MW Bundled Wind Power Project at Tenkasi and the project
participants have not registered or applied for registration of another small scale wind project. Therefore
the proposed project is not a debundled component of a larger CDM project activity.
SECTION B. Application of a baseline methodology:
B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline methodology applied to the small-scale project
activity:
>>
The methodology followed will be “Renewable electricity generation for a grid - AMS 1 D”.
Version 9 Scope 1 (28 July 2006)
B.2 Project category applicable to the small-scale project activity:
>>
Technology/measure
(As per “Renewable electricity generation for a grid - AMS 1.D” Version 9 Scope 1)
1. This category comprises renewable energy generation units, such as photovoltaics, hydro,
tidal/wave, wind, geothermal, and renewable biomass, that supply electricity to and/or displace
electricity from an electricity distribution system that is or would have been supplied by at least
one fossil fuel fired generating unit.
2. If the unit added has both renewable and non-renewable components (e.g. a wind/diesel unit), the
eligibility limit of 15MW for a small-scale CDM project activity applies only to the renewable
component. If the unit added co-fires fossil fuel, the capacity of the entire unit shall not exceed
the limit of 15MW.
3. Biomass combined heat and power (co-generation) systems that supply electricity to and/or
displace electricity from a grid are included in this category. To qualify under this category, the
sum of all forms of energy output shall not exceed 45 MW thermal. E.g., for a biomass based co-
generating system the rating for all the boilers combined shall not exceed 45 MW thermal.
4. Project activities adding renewable energy capacity should consider the following cases:
a. Adding new units;
b. Replacing old units for more efficient units.
To qualify as a small scale CDM project activity, the aggregate installed capacity after
adding the new units (case a.) or of the more efficient units (case b.) should be lower than
15 MW.
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
5. Project activities that seek to retrofit or modify an existing facility for renewable energy
generation are included in this category. To qualify as a small scale project, the total output of the
modified or retrofitted unit shall not exceed the limit of 15 MW.
This project activity qualifies as per Section 1, which includes renewable energy generation units,
such as Wind.
B.3. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those
that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity:
>>
The additionality of the 12MW bundled Wind Power Project in Tenkasi is established primarily
on the basis of a detailed Investment Analysis along with a more in-depth discussion on barrier analysis,
relating to the Project itself as well as within the scope of the Southern Regional Grid.
Investment Analysis
For the purpose of the investment analysis the prime financial indicator that has been used is the
IRR of the project activity. The Internal Rate of Return of any investment activity is one of the most
commonly used tools to establish the viability and the financial feasibility of the project. The benchmark
Internal Rate of Return (Equity IRR) of any project in the power sector in India is around 16%. Taking all
this into account the investment analysis was carried out taking the following assumptions into
consideration.
Size of Project 12 MW
No. of WEGs 16
Capacity of each WEG 0.750 kW
Generation per WEG 1,884,375 units
Plant Load Factor 28.6%
Life of WEG 20 yrs
Total project cost INR. 488,152,000/-
Wheeling charges 5%
O&M Cost as an % of the total Project Cost 1.45%
Escalation on O&M cost 7.19%
Insurance cost 0.37%
Interest on loan 8.25%
Sale to Board INR 2.70/-
Buy-back rate
Captive INR 3.50/-
Escalation on buy-back 0%
Income tax rate 36.6% (Including Sur Charge)
MAT 7.85%
Accelerated Depreciation 80%
Considering the above mentioned assumptions over a period of 20 years, without considering the
CDM revenues the Project IRR is 12.00% and the Equity IRR is 13.88%. When the revenues from CDM
are considered the Project IRR improves to 13.37% and the Equity IRR to 16.17%. The project cash flow
detailing the calculation and assumptions are approved by an external auditor and are submitted for the
reference of the DOE and is attached in Appendix 2.
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
1. Investment barriers
1. Lowering of tax benefits and the introduction of the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
2. Reduction in tax concessions enacted by the Union Government led to corresponding reduction in
tax benefits to investors to put in wind farms
3. Disproportionate hike in interest rates subsequently imposed by IREDA for loans to set up wind
farms
4. Applying wind-speed data from limited number of anemometer resulted in wide variation from
predicted wind turbine generation and actual generation creating doubts about the viability of
wind projects
The financial indicator is the Equity IRR. The IRR has been computed for the entire lifetime of the
project activity.
2. Technological barriers
The non-availability of cost-effective, commercially viable technology for utilisation of wind
energy constitutes one of the major barriers to the project activity. Moreover the project activity
comprises of installation of NM 48 class of WEGs which has over 60% of the components imported
making the technology barrier more relevant for this project activity.
4. Tariff Barriers
The Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources, Government of India had issued guidelines
for power purchase tariff to be Rs.2.25 per kWh with 5 % escalation every year for all renewable energy
to promote generation of renewable clean energy in the year 1996. TNEB followed the same guidelines
until the year 2001. In 2001, however TNEB changed its policy and froze the power purchase tariff for
wind energy at Rs.2.70 per kWh with no escalation till 2006 and had informed that this power purchase
tariff will be reviewed at 2006 and a new tariff will be fixed then. This figure was arrived by escalating
the base tariff of Rs.2.25 by 5% over a term of 5 years from 1996 – 2001. The price being paid for wind
energy is one of the lowest in the country at Rs.2.70 with no escalation. This is much lower than what
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
some of the other States are paying for wind power. The tariff has only changed marginally over the last
couple of years and third party sale is also not permitted in the state of Tamilnadu. Whereas the power
purchase tariff from Industrial Waste/Municipal Waste based generation is at Rs.3.49 in the year 2005
against wind power being paid just Rs.2.70.
5. Transaction barriers
Transaction barriers to wind energy are similar in many ways to those in developed and
developing countries. In India many of the sources of risk, institutional structures and conditions,
experience and skills deficiencies are unique. The result is greater uncertainty in transactions about
opportunities, costs and benefits.
There are three choices available for choosing the grid system for the project activity, viz.
national grid, regional grid or state grid. Since the CDM project would be supplying electricity to the
southern regional grid it is preferable to take the regional grid as project boundary than the state boundary.
It also minimizes the effect of inter state power transactions, which are dynamic and vary widely.
Considering free flow of electricity among the member states and the union territory through the Southern
Region Load Dispatch Centre (SRLDC), the entire southern grid is considered as a single entity for
estimation of baseline.
B.5. Details of the baseline and its development:
>>
According to paragraph 9 of the AMS 1.D. Version 9 Scope 1 (28 July 2006) the baseline is the
kWh produced by the renewable generating unit multiplied by an emission coefficient (measured in kg
CO2equ/kWh) calculated in a transparent and conservative manner as:
a. A combined margin (CM), consisting of the combination of operating margin (OM) and build
margin (BM) according to the procedures prescribed in the approved methodology ACM0002.
Any of the four procedures to calculate the operating margin can be chosen, but the restrictions to
use the Simple OM and the Average OM calculations must be considered
OR
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
b. The weighted average emissions (in kg CO2equ/kWh) of the current generation mix. The data of
the year in which project generation occurs must be used.
Step (a.) was followed to arrive at the emission factor. The formulae that have been used in the
calculations are presented in Section E.1. Data required for the calculations were collected from
appropriate sources, a sample of which is presented below.
COEF i, j for various fuels used in the State was calculated using appropriate values of NCVi, EF
and OXIDi specified by IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories: Reference
CO2i
Manual, Revised 1996.
Fuel consumption data and Generation details for all the sources were collected and used to arrive
at the Baseline emission factor. The various values obtained are tabulated as below.
The data is obtained from CO2 Baseline Database for the Indian Power Sector (User Guide Draft
V1.0 dated 4 Oct 2006) which was designed especially for the purpose of baseline calculation. The
various plants and the assumptions considered in the calculation are given in the link
http://www.cea.nic.in/planning/c%20and%20e/CO2%20Database.zip. However the list of plants
considered for baseline study is tabulated in Appendix 1.

F.1. If required by the host Party, documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts of
the project activity:
>>
Wind power is one of the cleanest sources of renewable energy, with no associated emissions and
waste products. In India, wind power projects do not require an Environmental Impact Assessment;
however some of the significant impacts are discussed below:
Land use
Extremely stringent measures are taken to ensure that the land available for wind farm
development has no alternative use. The land for the Tenkasi Wind Project was barren land which could
not be used for any agricultural cultivation. Furthermore, no forest land was used for the purpose.
Noise pollution
Most of the wind turbines are in isolated areas or on designated wind zones and hence do not
cause residents of the area any concern. In the same vein, construction activities so far also have not
caused noise pollution due to the isolated nature of the area and actually only has a positive impact of
producing employment for the village people in nearby areas.
Water pollution
No water bodies exist in the area of the Project and hence there was no contamination destruction
of water bodies during and after the construction activities.
Bird hit in these areas is not a common phenomenon. The Tenkasi Wind Project is not in the path
of migratory birds. Local birds are accustomed to the wind structures and fly at a lower level near areas of
dense vegetation. There have been no serious incidents involving birds and wind turbines in the area to
the best of our knowledge.
Visual impact
As gathered in the stakeholder analysis, the presence of the wind farms does not have a negative
impact on the surrounding villagers in terms of visual impact. The majority of the persons spoken to were
least concerned of the wind farms in the area.
Air pollution
Minimal air pollution might have occurred during the construction of the Project due to
transportation. However, these were not found to affect the surrounding persons nor the environment in a
very drastic manner.
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
Social Impacts
The social impacts of the Project were more positive than negative. The Project did not displace
any people nor interfere in their daily life. It provided employment for the first 6 months prior to
installation and then for a lesser number of people on a day to day basis. The Project has also had positive
impacts since infrastructure like roads and communication was developed in the area.
SECTION G. Stakeholders’ comments:
G.1. Brief description of how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled:
>>
The WEG installation and development of wind farm does not require any EIA (Environmental
Impact Assessment). Additionally the installations carried out under the proposed project activity are
away from human habitation, and the land used for installations of WEG is of no use (barren land).
The villages in the near vicinity were contacted before the implementation of the proposed
project activity, and were appraised about the execution of wind farm project. The local stakeholders
raised no issues, thus no action was required.
The land used for installations has been kept without any fencing and thus no right-of-
way/current usage (what so ever) has been disturbed. The villagers are free to move around and make use
of the land (if it can come to any use).
G.2. Summary of the comments received:
>>
A survey was conducted in the area of the Tenkasi Wind Project in Tamilnadu. A subsequent
analysis was undertaken as a part of Validation as per the DOE’s request.
PHASE 1
Primary data was collected through questionnaires and focus group discussions. Responses were
tabulated on a Likert scale and then coded and classified to arrive at the final analysis. The stakeholders
were predominantly male and adult. It was observed that almost 95% were strongly in favour of the
Project. The rest 5% were concerned about certain rumors they had heard about wind mills which is
addressed below. Questions were made simple and easy to understand. A number of pictures and graphics
were also taken as part of the interview to make the respondents understand better. The orientation and
questionnaire addressed the following:
1. Project introduction
2. Reasons for setting up the Project
3. Costs and benefits of setting up the Project
4. How did they think it would affect them?
5. Do they perceive that the Project will have negative or positive impacts on their livelihood?
6. Are they bothered about the noise pollution?
7. Have there been any difficulties faced during construction?
8. What are some of the other issues that concern them?
9. Do they have any other suggestions or queries?
The survey had a 90% response rate. The reason for this high response rate was the fact that the
local Panchayat was involved in mobilizing people for this survey. The respondents felt confident that the
local municipal body was involved.
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
Conclusion
It can be concluded that there was no opposition to the setting up of the Project. In summary:
(1) The issues discussed were well understood and the local stakeholders did not have any issues
with the Project being in the area. They well understood the fact that it would not interfere with
their village and community.
(2) However some perceptions were interesting to note. The villagers felt that the presence of the
wind turbines moved away rain clouds and that was the reason the monsoons were not bringing in
any rain to the area and causing crop failure. Further, they had heard that wind mills increased the
heat in the neighboring areas. Both these false perceptions were explained in detail by us,
especially the fact the clouds are much higher than the height of the wind mill and it is highly
unlikely that it would cause the problem. Further the case was made stronger by cross checking
this information with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology and the Center for Wind
Energy Technology. The women in the group who traversed long distances to fetch water for
daily activities were concerned that the wind mills created a lot of heat and were depleting
groundwater sources. All these perceptions were explained and the respondent group was
convinced.
(3) Falling blades although not witnessed, but heard of was another concern. We explained that this
is very unlikely and since the windmills are located far from the community and houses it would
not affect them directly. However, their concerns were noted.
There were no specific negative comments. There were some apprehensions based on
misconceptions rather than actual facts but were cleared. Since there were no negative comments, there
were no changes to Project activity. Thus no serious concerns or issues were raised regarding the Project.
PHASE 2
To re-ascertain the views of local public about setting up of WEGs in their localities another
stake holder’s analysis was conducted during the validation of this project on the 20th of February at the
Wind Farms in the Tenkasi district of Tamilnadu, Southern India.
The meet with the stake holders saw a good gathering of people who were residents of Ayakudi,
Surandai, Keelveeranam, Veeranam, Pattakurichi and Sambavarvadakkarai. There was an active
participation from both male as well as female.
A flyer stating that an analysis of this kind will be carried out at the site on the aforesaid date was
circulated by the service site people well in advance, so that they could make it convenient to attend the
meet.
CDM-SSC-PDD (version 02)
A questionnaire was circulated and the contents of the same were explained as most of them who had
attended were illiterate.
All the people who had attended the meet were happy about people setting up wind mills in their
villages, as most of the farmers who had suffered due to bad harvest are happy that now they have sold
out their lands for good prices to the people setting up the wind mills. Moreover in most of the cases they
have also been provided with employment opportunities. For example: few of the old farmers are now
working as watchmen in the wind farm site and people are also being employed to paint the tower
structures. Also young people with the minimum qualification have been trained and absorbed as
operators for the turbines. This has clearly led to an increase in awareness among the people residing
around the area.
People who attended the meet said there is a drastic change in their lifestyle post setting up of
wind turbines in their locality. Apart from the convenience in communication a lot of shops have also
come up in the area which caters to their daily needs. A few of the advantages stated by the people are
listed below –
• Fewer or no Power Shutdowns
• Increased employment opportunities
• Improvement in the standard of living
• Improved roads and hence better communication facilities
The following is a summary of the major questions addressed in the questionnaire and the response
from the stakeholders:
G.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received:
>>
The issues discussed were well understood and the local stakeholders did not have any issues
with the Project being in the area. They well understood the fact that it would not interfere with their
village and community. However some of the earlier perceptions (Phase I) were interesting to note. The
villagers felt that the presence of the wind turbines moved away rain clouds that might cause a disruption
of the monsoon season. Further, they had heard that wind mills increased the heat in the neighboring
areas. Both these false perceptions were explained in detail by us, especially the fact that the clouds are at
a much higher altitude than the height of the wind mill and it is highly unlikely that it would cause the
problem. Further, information from the Center for Wind Energy Technology based in Chennai also
conveyed the same.
They also wanted to know why the Project could not directly supply their village instead of
having to depend on the grid. Some of the villagers from a neighboring village which was off the grid
were also keen on this issue. It had to be explained that wind mills supply much more power than what
can be used by the villagers for their domestic use, which would result in considerable power wastage,
Furthermore, the buy back rates for wind power in the State is at Rs.2.70 without any escalation, which
would be unaffordable for the villagers who are receiving power at subsidized rates. Once the wind power
is fed into the grid, it is impossible to distinguish which is wind power and hence would make no
difference apart from the fact that they would be dependent on the grid again. The concept of
transmission and distribution of electricity was explained to them to help them understand how and why it
would not be suitable for the villagers to utilize the power from WEGs for their daily domestic
consumptions.
