Windmills in India

Windmills in India
In the Karnataka region in India, electricity is only sporadically available and it is generated mainly in power plants that contribute to the already high air pollution. Thanks to the arrival of these windmills, local households have a reliable source of clean energy. And that has improved their lives in more respect than one.

Making people’s lives better
When given access to reliable sustainable energy, people use little or no wood to cook. This small change means that families at home inhale less smoke. At a regional level, replacing dirty energy with clean energy also improves air quality. In addition, less wood consumption means less felling of valuable CO₂ absorbing  forests for cooking fuel, and less erosion.
The windmills are set up in partnership with an Indian company that takes its social role, in addition to its financial objectives, very seriously. They invest in infrastructure and are involved in building a school, a library and other local projects.

Combating climate change
A lot of emissions are avoided, thanks to the switch from polluting power stations to windmills. Emissions of CO₂ due to travel contribute to climate change. By helping to build windmills in India you ensure that CO₂ levels in the atmosphere do not rise any further. And beautiful holiday destinations, such as India, are preserved for future generations of travellers.
