VCS 1685
Standard
Verified Carbon Standard (VCS)
Technology Type
Solar PV (25 MW)
Project Location
Charanka village, Patan district, Gujarat, India
Project Description
25 MW solar PV project produces over 36 GWh annually
It supplies the Indian Grid which has an emissions intensity of 0.9368 tCO2e/MWh
The project’s panels are made by Canadian Solar, with a peak power of 235-240 Wpeak
Sustainability Beyond Carbon
It helps address the electricity demand/ supply gap existing in Gujarat, improving the grid’s reliability and electricity quality. This helps economic activity in the area
It improves energy and resource security by reducing India’s reliance on foreign sourced fuels and local fossil fuels
Employment opportunities have been generated during its construction and operation helping improve local economic conditions
The project promotes solar PV power, brings additional investment to the region and contributes towards infrastructure development like roads
Being renewable electricity, it reduces GHG emissions as well as SOx, NOx and particulates emitted by conventional thermal power generation
Its success promotes solar PV power uptake, encouraging the development of similar projects
