Project Brief

 

​The proposed project activity consists in the implementation and operation of eight new wind power generation facilities named Ventos de Santa Leia 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 12, 13 and 14, located in the municipalities of Caiçara do Rio do Vento, Lajes and São Tomé, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

Each of the windfarms will use 15 aerogenerators, with a total nominal capacity of 534,2 MW.

The project will deliver 2,656,032 MWh/year of renewable electricity to the National Interconnected System (Sistema Interligado Nacional – SIN, in Portuguese). In the baseline, electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources, as reflected in the combined margin (CM)calculations. Hence, the project activity will promote GHG emissions reductions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation that would otherwise occur.

Earthood Services Limited was contracted by Casa dos Ventos Comercializadora de Energia S.A to conduct the verification of GCC project activity “Rio do Vento Expansão Project”, in Brazil. The verification was performed based on rules and requirements defined by GCC for the project activity. 

Earthood Services Limited commenced the verification based on the baseline and monitoring methodology CDM methodology ACM0002 – Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources – version 22.0/15/ and draft available PSF. 

Earthood Services Limited’s verification approach is based on the understanding of the risks associated with reporting the PA, the monitoring system and the controls to be implemented to mitigate GHG emissions. Earthood Services Limited planned and performed the verification by obtaining evidence, other information and explanations that Earthood Services Limited considered necessary to perform the tasks.

The verification team confirms, based on final version of PSF, that:

·     the PA is in accordance with all relevant host country criteria (Brazil) and GCC Project Standard, Verification Standard, Environment and Social Safeguards Standard, Project Sustainability Standard and all applicable rules, requirements and clarifications/26/;

·     the PA is in accordance with all conditions of the latest version available at the time of GSC of applied methodology CDM methodology ACM0002 – Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources – version 22.0/15/;

·     the global and local stakeholders’ consultation has been performed in accordance with host country and GCC requirements;

·     the additionality of the PA was correctly demonstrated;

·     the monitoring plan is transparent, adequate and it is in accordance with the applied methodology;

·     all information has been consistently applied in the PSF;

·     the PA is not likely to cause any net-harm to the environment and/or society and complies with the Environmental and Social Safeguards Standard, and is likely to achieve Environmental No-net-harm Label (E+) – score +7, Social No-net-harm Label (S+) – score +5 and to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – score +6 (Diamond SDG Label);

the PA is likely to achieve the estimated of 906,700 tCO2e per year.
