This document summarizes a case study on the environmental impacts of power grid towers in Dharmapuri District, Tamil Nadu, India. It finds that erecting transmission towers through agricultural lands has resulted in cutting down many trees, limiting agricultural activities, depreciating land values, and increasing atmospheric temperature. A survey of local people found the major issues were valuable trees being felled, restrictions on farming and construction, and lack of awareness about the project. Suggested mitigations included underground transmission lines, compensating losses, and increasing tree plantation to offset carbon emissions.
