This project focuses on three areas, namely: developing legal framework for grid-connected wind power, introducing and implementing ecologically-oriented planning processes for wind power projects, and providing capacity development for short-listed wind power projects.

Increased wind power generation can contribute to climate protection by preventing greenhouse gas emissions. A 15 MW wind mill can reduce 45,000 tons of CO² emitted annually in comparison with a newly-build coal-fired power plant. In addition, it can prevent local environmental damage, such as the leaching of diesel and lubricants into soil.
