mechanical power into electricity. Therefore the wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which
connects to a generator and makes electricity.
Wind turbines can be used to produce electricity for a single home or building, but in the
case of the Project Activity the wind turbine is connected to the Romanian National Grid (REG), and
the generated power is used for a more widespread electricity distribution.
The Project Activity is based on only one wind turbine, which is producing electricity since
2011. The wind turbine has a 61.5 m height from the ground. The land where the project it’s located
is owned by EKW ENERGY.S.R.L.
Baseline scenario
The scenario existing prior to starting the implementation of the Project Activity is that the
electricity is supplied by the REG where power generation is dominated by fossil fuel power plants.
The project scenario is the activity of one wind turbine. The Project Activity started in 2011
and in the first year it supplied more than 800 MWh to the REG. During the first 4 years of the
activity the project fed 3709 MWh into REG and replace the same amount of electricity generated by
power plants connected to the REG.
The baseline scenario identified in Section 2.4 is the same as the scenario existing prior to
starting the implementation of the Project Activity. Namely, the equivalent amount of electricity
would have been supplied to the REG by grid-connected power plants in the absence of the Project
Activity.
The Project Activity generates electricity by utilizing renewable resources. The electricity with
zero emission from the Project Activity is delivered to the REG to replace an equivalent amount of
electricity that would have been generated by the REG where it is dominated by fossil fuel power
plants (as shown in Table 12). Thus, the Project Activity will reduce greenhouse gas emissions versus
the baseline scenario where the greenhouse gas emission sources are described in Section 2.
The net annual electricity delivered to the REG is estimated to be about 927 MWh per year.
Accordingly, it will achieve an average reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 594 tCO 2 e per year
during the crediting period (see Section 2).
Details on the specifics of the installed systems can be found in Annex 4.
Sustainable Development
The Project Activity will supply clean energy through utilizing renewable energy resources. The
implementation of the Project Activity will contribute to improving the environment while
