VCS1770 | Solar PV, India is a renewables (electricity) Verified Carbon Standard project providing access to electricity and its benefits.

Project Description: VCS1770 | Solar PV, India

Project has a total installed capacity of 105 MW at 3 sites (15 MW, 50 MW and 40 MW) across 2 Indian sates (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh).

The project produces over 169 GWh annually, supplying the Indian Grid which has an emissions intensity of 0.9653 tCO2e/ MWh.

The PV project will use over 1,000,000 solar PV modules.

Sustainability Beyond Carbon

There is more to offsets than just carbon.

Each VCS carbon credit is a tonne of verified climate benefit, no matter the type of project.

This carbon offset project provides multiple sustainability co-benefits beyond just carbon and helps link your climate response to improved sustainability.

It helps reduce the electricity demand/ supply gap that exists in both States.

This helps improve the grid’s reliability and quality which leads to increased economic activity in the area.

It reduces India’s reliance on foreign sourced fuels and local fossil fuels, and reduces air pollution.

Permanent and temporary employment opportunities for local skilled and unskilled people helps improve their economic conditions.

It brings additional investment to the region and is contributing towards infrastructure development in the region.

Generating renewable electricity, it reduces GHG emissions as well as SOx, NOx and particulates from fossil fuel power generation.

It acts to promote the uptake of solar PV power and helps encourage others to develop similar projects.
