There two components to the projects. The first component of the project is purchase of carbon emissions reductions. Certified emissions reduction (CFE) uses a long-term power planning simulation model (DECADES) to select future power plants that are needed for the expansion of the country's electricity system. On the basis of such modeling results it is possible to compare alternative scenarios of new generation plants and estimate emissions with- and without the wind power plants in the long term. During the operational period the actual dispatching of energy generated from the wind power plant is controlled by the National Center for Energy Control (CENACE) and can be monitored in real time to record the amount of electricity produced from the plant and the equivalent avoided emissions for verification purposes. The second component of the project is wind energy power plant and interconnection line. Emissions reductions will be the result of CFE's wind energy project to be located in the ejido la Venta, municipality of Juchitan de Zaragoza, a region known as the Istmo de Tehuantepec, state of Oaxaca. CFE's wind energy project will use wind turbine generators that transform the kinetic energy of the wind to generate electricity."},"display_title":"Mexico - Wind Umbrella (La Venta II) Project","pdfurl":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/995361468056343658/pdf/529200PAD0P0801for0disclosure0final.pdf","guid":"995361468056343658","url":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/995361468056343658"},"D19030958":{"id":"19030958","count":"Yemen, Republic of","entityids":{"entityid":"000442464_20140220094225"},"docdt":"2014-02-11T05:00:00Z","abstracts":{"cdata!":"The development objective of the Mocha Wind Park Project for Yemen is to increase the supply of cost-effective renewable wind electricity.

A generator inside the turbine converts the mechanical power into electricity. Utility-scale wind turbines range in size from 100 kilowatts to as large as several megawatts. Turbines can be built on land or offshore and are grouped into 'wind farms' that provide bulk power to the electrical grid. Smaller turbines are used for homes, telecommunications dishes, and water pumping, sometimes in connection with diesel generators, batteries, and photovoltaic systems. Such hybrid wind systems are typically used in remote, off-grid locations, where a connection to the utility grid is not available. This note focuses on onshore wind energy, which is more widely established and has lower risks than offshore wind."},"display_title":"Implementing onshore wind power projects","pdfurl":"https://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/556561468337209595/pdf/IBArchive-966e3ae6-b9b7-48bc-a2d0-bcfe02875521.pdf","guid":"556561468337209595","url":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/556561468337209595"},"D29900830":{"id":"29900830","count":"Zambia","entityids":{"entityid":"090224b08608649a_3_0"},"docdt":"2018-05-01T04:00:00Z","abstracts":{"cdata!":"The overall Zambia ESMAP program consists of providing a validated mesoscale wind atlas for Zambia, including associated deliverables and wind energy development training courses. Meteorological data is collected at eight sites over a 2-year period. This 12-month Site Resource Report provides interim wind resource statistics at the eight masts and energy production estimates for preliminary wind farms in the vicinity of the masts. The program’s goal is to provide Zambian policy makers, stakeholders and independent power producers with accurate and valuable knowledge of the national wind resource, including complementary tools, which can be of direct practical use, both for formulating energy policy and implementing wind projects.A key conclusion from this study is that there is now an established network of state-of-the-art wind measurement masts in Zambia that can be used to support stakeholder wind analysis activities and future utility-scale wind development in-country. In the future, this network of masts will also provide the industry with a source of long-term reference station data which could greatly reduce uncertainties for potential developers. The data collected from the eight met masts are considered very good both in terms of data quality and data coverage. The primary goal of the met masts was not to provide potential wind farm locations, but instead to validate a country-wide wind map. However, and as a secondary goal, it is noted that from this analysis, several met mast locations are sited in areas where wind development could be considered viable and potentially bankable with current turbine technology. Further investment by stakeholders in well-organized measurement campaigns and in feasibility analysis that are focused on reducing uncertainties will help support future growth of the Zambian wind market."},"display_title":"Renewable energy wind mapping for Zambia : 12-month site resource report","pdfurl":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/528711526549758961/pdf/Renewable-energy-wind-mapping-for-Zambia-12-month-site-resource-report.pdf","guid":"528711526549758961","url":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/528711526549758961"},"D6812189":{"id":"6812189","count":"Mexico","entityids":{"entityid":"000160016_20060524171847"},"docdt":"2006-05-19T04:00:00Z","display_title":"Mexico - Wind Umbrella (La Venta II) Carbon Finance Project","pdfurl":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/719991468300675863/pdf/362901ISDS0MX01aVentaII0May01902006.pdf","guid":"719991468300675863","url":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/719991468300675863"},"D15950212":{"id":"15950212","count":"Kenya","entityids":{"entityid":"000003596_20120319143702"},"docdt":"2012-03-14T04:00:00Z","display_title":"Kenya - Lake Turkana Wind Project","pdfurl":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/274181468046144157/pdf/Integrated0Saf00Sheet0Concept0Stage.pdf","guid":"274181468046144157","url":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/274181468046144157"},"D26951778":{"id":"26951778","count":"World","entityids":{"entityid":"090224b084710367_1_0"},"docdt":"2015-08-07T04:00:00Z","abstracts":{"cdata!":"The environmental, health, and safety (EHS) guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of good international industry practice (GIIP).

Potential users of the atlas include government officials, international lending agencies and development institutions, and private developers. The atlas was made possible by the development in the past three years of a sophisticated new wind mapping system called MesoMap. This system uses a dynamical mesoscale weather model to simulate historical wind and weather conditions for a representative sample of days from 1984 to 1998. The data inputs include terrain elevations, land cover, and vegetation greenness on a 1 km grid scale, as well as meteorological data such as gridded reanalysis weather data, rawinsonde data, and sea surface temperature measurements. The results of the simulations are presented as color-coded maps of mean wind speed and wind power density, both annual and seasonal, and tabulated frequency distributions and wind rose charts."},"display_title":"Wind energy resource atlas of Southeast Asia","pdfurl":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/252541468770659342/pdf/318700Wind0energy0atlas0complete.pdf","guid":"252541468770659342","url":"http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/252541468770659342"},"facets":{}}}
