Project Brief | The Purpose of this project activity is to generate clean electricity from installation of Solar Power Plants and feed the generated electricity to the Indian national grid. The Project Activity involves the installation of a new grid-connected 22.5 MW solar power plant. The project was commisioned in a phase manner, each phase of equal capacity, i.e., 7.5 MW.The first phase of the project activity was commissioned on 20/01/2022, second phase was commissioned on 31/03/2022 and third phase is expected to be commissioned on 30/10/2022.The electricity generated from Project Activity is exported to the national Indian grid. The electricity generated by the Project Activity thus replaces equivalent amount of fossil fuel consumption in the existing/ grid connected power plants (mostly fossil fuel based power plants) and/or new generation sources that may get added into the grid. The Project Activity thus reduces equivalent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). |

Additional Information |
Opinion | KBS has been contracted by ‘Manikaran Power Limited’ to undertake verification of the project activity “22.5 MW Solar Project in Tamil Nadu” in India. The verification was performed based on rules and requirements defined by GCC for the project activity. The bundled project involves installation of 22.5 MWac Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) Panels in the state of Tamil Nadu. The electricity generated from project activity is used for group captive consumption in the nearby textile facilities, through wheeling agreement with Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO), there by displacing electricity from the regional grid which would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources into the grid. This bundled project activity consists PV modules, and associated connection boxes, Inverters, transformers and other field equipments. Thus, the project activity is estimated to generate an average of 44,616 MWh/year electricity and displacing 41,514 tCO2/year. The project correctly applies the approved baseline and monitoring ACM0002 version 20.0 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 project activity is likely to achieve the anticipated emission reductions stated in the PSF provided the underlying assumptions do not change. The expected emission reductions (annual average) from the project activity are estimated to be 41,514 tCO2/year over the 10 years fixed crediting period starting from 20/01/2022. KBS has verified and hereby certifies that the GCC bundled project activity “22.5 MW Solar Project in Tamil Nadu”: · has correctly described the Project Activity in the Project Submission Form (version 3.0, dated 27/11/2023) including the applicability of the approved methodology ACM0002, version 20.0 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; · is likely to generate GHG emission reductions amounting to the estimated 415,148 tCO2 over the fixed crediting period of ten years, 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, and therefore requests the GCC Program to register 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 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 · is likely to contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), comply with the Project Sustainability Standard, and contribute to achieving a total of 3 SDGs, which is likely to achieve the Silver SDG certification label (SDG+). |
