== Combatting climate change through CDM ==
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2021}}
{{advert|section|date=January 2021}}
MSPL has established an operational and management structure for running the [[Clean Development Mechanism]] (CDM) projects.

The CDM-1, a 125 MW Wind Power Project of Baldota Group in Karnataka, where MSPL has a lion's share of 78.90 MW, was registered as a CDM Project by [[UNFCCC]], on 29 September 2006.

When registered, it was the largest wind power project in the world registered by UNFCCC for CDM activity.

This registration by UNFCCC would enable the Company to generate a maximum of 2.5 Million Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) under the CDM. This CDM project activity would replace conventional energy equivalent to 356.83 Million units and thereby reduce emission of [[greenhouse gases]] (GHG) to the tune of 25,32,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide over a ten-year project crediting period.

MSPL has four other CDM projects at various stages of registration with UNFCCC.

* 20 MW at Dhule, [[Maharashtra]].
* 6.6 MW at Harihar, [[Karnataka]].
* 8.35 MW in Karnataka
* 30 MW in Surajbari, Gujarat

The project activity would contribute to "Sustainable Development of India"
in the following ways:

# Utilising the [[wind energy]] potential in the region of the state of [[Karnataka]] for generation of 125 MW gross power.
# As the project activity has been undertaken in the barren-land it does not require displacement of any local population. Thus the project will not cause any adverse social impacts on local [[population]]. Rather, it will help in ameliorating their quality of life.
# Conservation of non renewable natural resources like [[coal]], [[Natural gas|gas]], [[oil]]. Making coal available for other important applications.
# Reducing [[Greenhouse gas|GHG]] Emissions to the atmosphere ([[carbon dioxide|CO2]])
# Contributing to a small increase in the local employment in the area of skilled jobs for operation and maintenance of wind electric generators and its accessories.
