Project Brief

Aohanqi Xinhuo 100MW Solar Power Project is a solar power project with total installed capacity of 100MW, the project is invested and operated by Aohanqi Xinhuo New Energy Co., Ltd. The project locates in Aohanqi, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. The purpose of the project is to utilize the solar energy at the project site to generate and supply electricity to North China Power Grid (NCPG).

The project is expected to supply an annual average of 142,503 MWh of zero-emission electricity to NCPG during the fixed 10-year crediting period, which will replace power generation of those fossil fuel-fired power plants delivered to the NCPG under the baseline scenario. The project is expected to achieve a green-house gas emission reduction of 117,835 tCO2e annually. The total emission reductions during the fixed 10-year crediting period will be 1,178,350 tCO2e.

VERIFICATION OUTCOME
Opinion

Verico SCE has undertaken the project verific ation of the proposed project « Aohanqi Xinhuo 100MW Solar Power Project » in P.R.China to be implemented by Project Owner “ Climate Bridge (Shanghai) Ltd.,” based on the requirements defined by GCC program for the project activity, and other rules applicable to the project verification including the host country’s legislation and its specific requirements for sustainable development.

The purpose of the project is to build a solar PV project which results in reductions of GHG emissions of 117,835 tCO 2 e annually during the fixed 10 year crediting period to replace the
electricity generated by fossil fuel dominated power grid in the host country. 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 ACM0002 version 21.0 and is assessed against latest valid Project Standard, Verification Standard and Environment and Social Safeguards Standard and/or other applicable GCC/CDM  Decisions/Tools/Guidance.
To arrive at the final verification conclusions and opinion, verico SCE carried out desk reviews, background investigations and an on site mission, taking into account the sustainable
development related regulations/laws in the host country and specific GCC rules/ requirements as well as applicable CDM standards, in particular the approved methodology ACM0002, version 21.0
Through the project verification process, the verification team identified five 5 ) corrective action requests and eleven 11 ) clarification requests and one (1) forward action request . The Project Owner has taken actions to address the findings and submitted to verico SCE several sets of project document revisions resulting in a final Project Submission Form , version 1.2 dated 27 December 2022 substantiated by supporting evidence. All findings have been appropriately closed before the issuance of this project verification statement.
The verification team is of the opinion that the GCC project: «Aohanqi Xinhuo 100MW Solar Power Project» with the verified final version of Project Submission Form:
 a.  is in accordance with all the relevant G CC program requirements as well as the host country’s national requirements and if implemented as designed, is likely to achieve the verified
      emission reduction estimations of 117,835 tCO 2 e annually following the monitoring provisions fixed in the final documentation
 b.  is not likely to cause any net harm to the environment and/or society and complies with the Environmental and Social Safegua rds Standard, and therefore requests the GCC Program          to register the Project Activity, which is likely to achieve the requirements of the Environmental No-net-harm Label (E+ ) and the Social No-net-harm Label (S+ ); and
c.   is likely to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), comply with the Project Sustainability Standard, and contribute to achieving a total
      of 3 SDGs (7, 8 and 13), which is likely to achieve the Silver SDG c ertification label ( SDG+).
The project meets all of the GCC Rules and criteria for CORSIA and the project owner has clarified the intent use of carbon credits for the pilot phase of CORSIA hence f or carbon credits
issued generated during 01/01/2016 to 31/1 2/2020, HCA is not required for CORSIA labelled credits.

Therefore, verico SCE hereby certifies that the Project Submission Form version 1.2 dated 27 December 2022 of the proposed GCC project «Aohanqi Xinhuo 100MW Solar Power Project» is in accordance with the above stated requirements.
