Project Brief

The proposed Project Activity is a bundled new grid-connected 133 MW solar power plant/unit at a site where no renewable power plant was operating prior to the implementation of the project activity (green-field plant). The Project Activity has been implemented in states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in India by Jilesh Power Private Limited - 45 MW, Vishvarupa Solar Power Private Limited - 10 MW, Zuka Power Private Limited - 48 MW and SEI Greenflash Private Limited - 30 MW and are Special Purpose Vehicles under Greenko Solar Energy Private Limited, which is a sister company of Greenko Energies Private Limited. The bundled project activity is allotted to the project owner through state government competitive bidding processes Viz. Telangana state solar tender competitive bidding -2015, Andhra Pradesh Solar Bid-2014 and National Solar Mission Phase II of India under open category. The electricity generated from Project Activity that converts sunlight into electricity using photo voltaic modules is exported to the integrated Indian grid. The electricity generated by the Project Activity thus replaces the equivalent amount of electricity generated by the operation of existing grid connected power plants, mostly fossil fuel based power plants and by addition of new fossil fuel based plants. The Project Activity thus reduces the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. The annual average net electricity generation from the project activity is estimated to be 207,946 MWh over the ten year crediting period.

Opinion

The GCC Project Verifier, Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd, verifies and certifies that the GCC Project Activity “Zuka Power 133MW bundled Solar PV Power projects at Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, India”:

(a)    has correctly described the Project Activity in the Project Submission Form (version 1.4, dated 12/03/2025) including the applicability of the approved GCC methodology, GCCM001, version 3.0 and meets the methodology applicability conditions, is additional and is expected to achieve the forecasted real, measurable and additional GHG emission reductions, complies with the monitoring methodology, has appropriately conducted local and global stakeholder consultation processes and has calculated emission reduction estimates correctly and conservatively;

(b)    is likely to generate GHG emission reductions amounting to the estimated 1,934,932 tCO2e (for the fixed 10 years crediting period), 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 and therefore requests the GCC Program to register the Project Activity;

(c)    is not likely to cause any net-harm to the environment and/or society and complies with the Environmental and Social Safeguards Standard, version 3.0 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

(d)    is likely to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), comply with the Project Sustainability Standard, version 3.0 and contribute to achieving a total of 3 SDGs, which is likely to achieve the silver SDG certification label (SDG+).

(e)    complies with all the applicable requirement of the GCC Program and ICAO’s requirements on CORSIA Emissions Unit Eligibility Criteria and CORSIA Eligible Emissions Units, as per Clarification No 1., v 1.3 paragraph 23-25, and the ACCs expected to be issued during the crediting period is likely to be CORSIA eligible and can be used by International Airlines for offsetting their emissions during Pilot Phase (2021-2023) of CORSIA[1] and therefore requests GCC Steering Committee to append CORSIA Certification label (C+) to this project.

The Verification report describes a total of 47 findings, which include:

  • 12 Clarification Requests (CLs);
  • 35 Corrective Action Requests (CARs)

All findings are resolved by the project owner (except the FAR which needs to be resolved during emission reduction verification).
