1.3. Description of the Project Activity<br />
<strong>Topolog</strong> Wind Power Project in Romania by E.K.W. <strong>EN</strong>ERGY.S.R.L (the Project Activity) is<br />
developed by E.K.W. <strong>EN</strong>ERGY.S.R.L (the Project Owner) and is located in Romania. The purpose of the<br />
Project Activity is to generate electricity through using wind resources.<br />
The Project Activity started in 2011. The electricity generated by the Project Activity is fed into<br />
the Romanian Electricity Grid (REG). The proposed project consisted of the installation of one wind<br />
turbine in Fagarasul Nou, Tolopog village, Tulcea County. The crediting period for this Project Activity<br />
starts in 2011.<br />
Romania has a great potential regarding wind power. Romania has about 23 TWh/y power<br />
generation potential using wind farms only 1 . At the end of the 2012 only 10% of the total potential<br />
have been reached. The best areas for this type of electricity are found in the provinces of Moldavia<br />
and Dobrogea. For this reason the Project Activity is located in Dobrogea.<br />
The wind power plant capacity is 600kW and the net annual electricity delivered to REG is 927<br />
MWh/y. According to the calculations of the <strong>CSG</strong>’s “<strong>Renewable</strong> Energy methodology” (see section<br />
1.2.) it will achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 594 tCO 2 per year (See<br />
table 2).<br />
Technical information<br />
Wind is a form of solar energy and is a result of the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the<br />
sun, the irregularities of the Earth’s surface, and the rotation of the Earth.<br />
The term wind energy describes the process by which the wind is used to generate<br />
mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. Wind turbines convert<br />
the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power. In this case, a generator converts the<br />
