SiteRight, a new tool from the Nature Conservancy, helps identify land for renewable energy infrastructure in India. Infrastructure, such as wind or solar, can have a large footprint and has potential to disrupt communities and local biodiversity. Strategically locating renewable energy infrastructure on land that has less adverse impacts can help India achieve its renewable energy targets by 2022. Grantee Nature Conservancy designed the tool to help assess locations as projects expand to meet rising energy demand and reduce emissions.
