| Project Brief | This bundled project activity involves the installation of three numbers of Solar Power Projects in Orissa /Madhya Pradesh/Maharashtra states of India. The purpose of the project activity is to generate clean electricity with utilization of solar energy through third party sale. The total installed capacity of the project activity is 9 MW(AC); which involves operation of three solar projects of 2, 2, & 5 MW (AC Capacity) project in Orissa /Madhya Pradesh/Maharashtra State. |
|---|---|
| Additional Information | This project activity will replace average anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) estimated to be approximately 14,021 tCO2e per year, thereon displacing estimated average of 15,060 MWh/year amount of electricity from the generation-mix of power plants connected to the Indian grid for captive use, which is mainly dominated by thermal/fossil fuel-based power plant. The project activity reduces 140,206 tCO2e emissions during the entire crediting period. |
VERIFICATION OUTCOME
| Opinion | LGAI Technological Center S.A. (Applus+ Certification) has performed a verification of the “Bundled 4 Solar Power Project in India”. The verification is performed on the basis of GCC criteria Project Verification Standard, Version 3.1 for the project activity, GCC guideline and host country criteria, as well as criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting. The review of the final version of GCC PSF version 06.0 and the subsequent remote site inspection and follow-up interviews has provided Applus+ Certification with sufficient evidence to determine the fulfillment of stated criteria. In our opinion, the project meets all relevant GCC project standard requirements for the GCC. The project will hence be recommended by LGAI Technological Center S.A. (Applus+ Certification) for registration with the GCC. By displacing fossil fuel-based electricity with electricity generated from a renewable source, the project results in reductions of CO2 emissions that are real, measurable and give long-term benefits to the mitigation of climate change. Emission reductions attributable to the project are hence additional to any that would occur in the absence of the project activity. Given that the project is implemented as designed, the project is likely to achieve the estimated amount of annual emission reductions of 14,021 tCO2e per year. The verification has been performed following the requirements of the latest version of GCC verification standard, Version 03.1, GCC Project Standard, version 03.1 and on the basis of the contractual agreement. In detail the conclusions can be summarized as follows: - The project does not result in negative social, environmental and/or economic impacts. - The project contribution to Environment, Social Development and Economic and technological development. - The project additionality is sufficiently justified in the GCC PSF. - Conservative assumptions were applied in the project description. - The monitoring plan of SDG parameters is transparent and adequate. - The project meets the local stakeholder consultation requirements. The conclusions of this report show, that the project, as it was described in the project documentation, is in line with all criteria applicable for the verification. |
