The project activity titled “7.5 MW (AC) grid connected canal top solar PV project by Vijay Printing in Patiala, Punjab, India ”  is a canal-top solar power project, which results in reductions of CO₂ equivalent emissions that are real, measurable and aimed at providing long-term benefits to the mitigation towards climate change. It is demonstrated that the project is not a likely baseline scenario and the emission reductions attributable to the project are, hence, additional to any that would occur in the absence of the project activity. The project correctly applies the approved baseline and monitoring AMS-I.D. version 18.0 and is assessed against latest valid PS, VS and Environment and Social Safeguards Standard, Project-Sustainability-Standard and/or other applicable GCC/CDM Decisions/Tools/Guidance/Forms.  The expected emission reductions on an annual average by the project activity is 11,831 tCO2e/year and is likely to achieve the same over the 10 years crediting period with the start date from 01/04/2018.
