Project Brief | Jinshui River Stage 3 Hydropower Plant (hereafter referred to as the Project) is a hydro power project with total installed capacity of 48MW. The project locates at Jinshui River, a first-class tributary of the Vine River in Jinshui River Town, Jinping County, Yunnan Province, P.R. China. The project is invested by Guangdong Hydropower Yunnan Investment Jinping Power CO., LTD, and operated by Xinzhai Hydropower Plant.Xinzhai Hydropower Station is wholly-owned subsidiary by Guangdong Hydropower Yunnan Investment Jinping Power Co., LTD The project installs two sets of hydroelectric generators with unit capacity of 24MW each. The purpose of the project is to utilize the hydro resource at the project site to generate and supply electricity to South China Power Grid (SCPG). The project is a renewable energy project and is expected to supply 196,960 MWh of zero-emission electricity to SCPG, which will replace power generation of those fossil fuel-fired power plants delivered to the SCPG under the baseline scenario. The project is expected to generate an annual grid electricity output of 196,966 MWh. Alongside this, it is anticipated to achieve a greenhouse gas emission reduction of 100,226 tCO2e annually. The total emission reduction during the fixed 10-year crediting period will be 1,002,260 tCO2e. |

Opinion | CTI Certification Co., Ltd (CTI) has been commissioned by Beijing Carbon X Technology Co., Ltd. to perform the independent project verification of the GCC project activity: “Jinshui River Stage 3 Hydropower Plant”. The objectives of this project verification is to verify that the GCC project meets the requirements of GCC project framework v2.1, GCC program manual v3.1, GCC program processes v4.0, GCC project standard v3.1, GCC project sustainability standard v3.1, GCC verification standard v3.1, GCC Environment & Social safeguards standard v3.0, ISO 14064-2 & ISO 14064-3, applicable approved CDM Methodology: ACM0002 Version 21.0: Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources, Applicable Legal requirements/rules of host country, CORSIA requirements and other GCC requirements related to aspects such as project design, applicable conditions, project boundary, baseline scenarios, additionality, emission reduction, monitoring plan, local stakeholder consultation, global stakeholder consultation, GHG emission reductions (ACCs), environmental no-net harm label (E+), social no net harm label (S+), silver SDG label (SDG+), CORSIA+ (C+ Pliot Phase). This report summarizes the final project verification opinion which is based on Project Submission Form (Version 5.0 dated 14/05/2025). The GCC project activity involved the construction and operation of Greenfield 48MW hydro power plant in Jinshui River Town, Jinping County, Honghe Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, P.R. China. The expected net annual average electricity generation of the project activity is approximately 196,966 MWh. The electricity thus generated will be sold to the South China Power Grid. In the absence of the project activity, the equivalent amount of electricity would be supplied from GHG intensive grid. The emission reduction will be based on the amount of baseline electricity avoided due to the project and is calculated using the applied CDM Methodology: ACM0002 Version 21.0: Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources. The project verification team has verified that the information submitted by the project owner is correct and that the emission reduction achieved has been determined correctly. Based on the information seen and evaluated, the project verification team has requested for registration of the GCC by confirming the following: Project title Jinshui River Stage 3 Hydropower Plant (project submission reference no: S00299) Sectoral Scope and Methodology used Sectoral Scope 1: Energy Industries (renewable/non-renewable sources) ACM0002 Version 21.0: Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources. The Project Owner has correctly described the Project Activity in the Project Submission Form (Version 5.0 dated 14/05/2025) including the applicability of the approved methodology and meets the methodology applicability conditions and is expected to achieve the forecasted real and additional GHG emission reductions, complies with the monitoring methodology, has appropriately conducted local and global stakeholder consultation processes and has calculated emission reductions estimates correctly and conservatively. Estimated Emissions reductions The Project Activity is likely to generate GHG emission reductions amounting to the estimated 100,226 tCO2e/year, as indicated in the PSF, which are additional to the reductions that are likely to occur in absence of the Project Activity and complies with all applicable GCC rules, including ISO 14064-2 and ISO 14064-3. Voluntary Certification Labels The Project Activity 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 the Environmental No-net- harm Label (E+) and Social No-net-harm Label (S+). The Project Activity is likely to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), complies with the Project Sustainability Standard, and contributes to achieving a total of 3 SDGs, with the Silver SDG certification label (SDG+) CORSIA The Project Activity complies with all the applicable requirements of the GCC Program and ICAO‘s requirements on CORSIA Emissions Unit Eligibility Criteria and CORSIA Eligible Emissions Units, as per Clarification No 1., v1.3 paragraph 23-25, and the ACCs expected to be issued during the monitoring period till 31/12/2020 is likely to be CORSIA eligible and can be used by International Airlines for offsetting their emissions during the pilot phase of CORSIA and therefore requests GCC Steering Committee to append CORSIA Certification label (C+) to this project. |
