About This Project
- This project involves the construction and operation of a 500 MWac solar power facility in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.
- The main purpose of this project activity is to generate clean electricity from renewable solar energy and to supply electricity to the Andhra Pradesh state electricity grid.
- The project will replace anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) estimated to be approximately 887,800 tCO2e per year by displacing 919,800 MWh/year of electricity from the generation-mix of power plants connected to the Indian grid, which is mainly dominated by thermal/fossil fuel-based power. Carbon credit sales provide incremental funding necessary to successfully construct and operate the solar power facility.
