Solar energy in Bhilwara, India

Item no. CH1130153

This gift corresponds to a reduction of CO2e emissions by 5.27 tons. The climate compensation project in Bhilwara contributes both to fossil-free solar energy in the Indian power grid and provides socioeconomic benefits to the region's inhabitants. India is a country with good conditions for solar energy, with a majority of sunny days throughout the year. Despite this, the largest portion of the electricity produced in India today comes from coal power. In addition to emitting significantly more carbon dioxide than other major energy sources, coal also has substantial negative effects on people and the environment at the local level. In the Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, a solar energy project has been installed with the capacity to produce renewable electricity of up to 9,100 MWh annually. Thanks to fossil-free solar energy, the project prevents emissions of about 8,700 tons of carbon dioxide each year. Solar energy is one of the energy sources that is likely to play a significant role in transitioning to a green and renewable energy grid in India. In addition to the climate and environmental benefits that solar energy provides, there are also economic and social benefits associated with the solar energy project in Bhilwara. It has, among other things, contributed to ensuring that healthcare in the village has reliable access to renewable energy around the clock.
