3 SECTION A. General description of small-scale project activity A.1 Title of the small-scale project activity: >> Hanuman Ganga Hydro (4.95 MW) Plant at Uttarakhand. Version 1, 17/09/2007 A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity: >> The project activity consists of the construction of Small Hydro Project, the total installed capacity being 4.95 MW to generate clean energy using the energy of the flowing stream. The project is a run of the river type with minimum environmental impact and will provide and sell electricity to the state electricity grid, thus reducing dependence on fossil fuels and reducing CO 2 emissions. Power shall be evacuated through 33 KV line to the nearest 33 KV substation at Hanuman Chhati Sub Station. The Small Hydro project will produce an average annual generation of GWH, out of which GWH would be sold to the state electricity grid and will contribute to reduce the emissions in the amount of 23,717 tons of CO 2eq. per year. The Small Hydro Project will contribute to the sustainable development by providing several important environmental and social benefits. As a consequence of the construction of the project, the life quality of the inhabitants would improve. Purpose of the project activity: The main purpose of the project activity is to generate electrical energy through sustainable means without causing any negative impact on the environment and to contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. Apart from the generation of electrical power, the project also contributes to the following. a) Sustainable development, through utilisation of renewable hydro resources available in the project region b) Rural development due to the location of the project being in rural area c) Generation of additional employment 3

4 The project contributes to sustainable development according to Govt. of India in the following manner: Social and Economic Well Being a) The project activity results in alleviation of poverty by generating direct and indirect employment during construction of the project as well as during operation. The project will have a positive impact on the employment opportunities in the region during construction. The project creates indirect employment opportunities to about 25,000 man days. The project provides additional source of income for the local people amounting to an investment of Rs 5 million. The project will have a staff for operation and maintenance of the plant which will lead to permanent employment for 25 people during operation of the plant which would translate into Rs. 3 million investments per year. b) Till Hanuman Ganga project got commissioned there was no electricity available in the villages and even the main Yamnotri route had power availability upto 20% of its requirement. After the project was set up the electricity is now available in almost every village with new addition of the transmission line which has improved the standard of living in the area. It has also reduced dependability on wood fire and has given tremendous savings on the wood/tree cutting. More and more cottage & rural industries will be set up and new opportunities for development will be created as a consequence. This will result in infrastructure development, which would ultimately lead to the rural development and prevent the migration of rural poor to cities. Hence the local population would be empowered. c) Project proponents mobilized additional investment to the region. Project proponents invested in the project about Rs million (US$ 7.72 million, taking exchange rate as $1 = Rs.41) which otherwise would not have happened in the absence of the project. This is a very significant investment in an underdeveloped area. d) The region is abounding with a lot of beautiful and scenic places which have still not been tapped. As reliable electricity is assured to the area, a lot of tourist activity is expected to bloom leading to an increase in the income of the local population. e) To further carry out the work of sustainable development the Project Proponents carried out the following activities. Stabilisation of hill slopes and construction of bended walls was carried out to ensure safety of villagers. Extension of temples in three villages was carried out and a Panchayat Ghar was also constructed. Health Programs for the villagers including Eye Check up Camps were carried out. Scholarship is being extended to the poor students from the villages. Construction and maintenance of tracks to the remote villages. 4

5 Environmental Well Being g) Since, the project utilizes hydro potential available in the river for power generation; the project will not result in rise of GHG emissions and cause no negative impact on the environment. Further, the project does not result in degradation of any natural resources, health standards, etc. at the project area. Technological Well Being h) The project will result in utilisation of environmentally safe and sound technologies in small scale hydroelectric power sector. Further the project demonstrates harnessing hydro potential at a small level and encourages setting up such new projects in future. In view of the above, proposed project activity strongly contributes to the sustainable development. A.3.

8 A.4.2. Type and category(ies) and technology/measure of the small-scale project activity: >> Type and Category Since, the capacity of the proposed project is 4.95 MW, which is less than the qualifying capacity of 15 MW, the project activity can be regarded as a small scale CDM project activity and UNFCCC indicative simplified modalities and procedures can be applied. The project activity utilizes the hydro potential for power generation and supplies the generated power to the state electricity grid. According to small-scale CDM modalities the project activity falls under Type I Renewable Energy Projects and category ID Grid Connected Renewable Electricity Generation. (Version 12) Technology The technology or power generation process using hydro resources is converting the potential energy available in the water flow into mechanical energy using hydro turbines and then to electrical energy using alternators. The generated power will be transformed to match the nearest sub-station for proper interconnection and smooth evacuation of power. Francis type hydro turbines and synchronous alternators with automatic voltage regulator and static brushless excitation are being used. No technology transfer takes place. A.4.3 Estimated amount of emission reductions over the chosen crediting period: >> Quantity of emissions reductions out of the project: The annual average emission reduction works out to be 23,717 tonnes of CO 2 equivalent and the total emission reduction for the first crediting period of 7 years (Dec Nov 2014) works out to 166,019 tonnes of CO 2 equivalent YEAR ESTIMATION OF ANNUAL EMISSION REDUCTION IN TONNES OF CO2E Dec 2007 Nov ,717 Dec 2008 Nov ,717 Dec 2009 Nov ,717 Dec 2010 Nov ,717 Dec 2011 Nov ,717 Dec 2012 Nov ,717 Dec 2013 Nov ,717 Total Estimated Reductions 166,019 (tco 2e ) No. of Crediting Years 7 Annual Average of Estimated Reductions over the Crediting Period 23,717 8

Confirmation that the small-scale project activity is not a debundled component of a large scale project activity: >> In accordance with Appendix C of the Simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small-Scale CDM project activities DETERMINING THE OCCURANCE OF DEBUNDLING, it can be confirmed that this project activity is not a debundled component of a larger CDM project. The Project Participant confirms that there is no project registered or an application to register another small scale CDM Project Activity by the: Same project participants In the same project category and technology / measure Registered within the previous two years Whose project boundary is within 1 km of the project boundary of the proposed small scale activity at the closest point. 9

10 SECTION B. Application of a baseline and monitoring methodology B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the small-scale project activity: >> Title of the project category: TYPE I RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT Reference for the project category: I.D. GRID CONNECTED RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY GENERATION. (Version 12) B.2 Justification of the choice of the project category: >> The capacity of the project is 4.95 MW, which is less than the qualifying capacity of 15 MW to use simplified methodologies. Further, the project activity is generation of electricity for a grid system using hydro potential. Hence, the type and category of the project activity matches with I.D. as specified in Appendix B of the indicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies for small scale CDM project activities. B.3. Description of the project boundary: >> The Project Boundary consists of the physical and geographical site of the renewable generation source which includes the power house, water inlet and outet, transmission set up. B.4. Description of baseline and its development: >> Using the methodology available, in paragraph 9 of Type I D described in Annex B of the simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project activities, the average of the approximate operating and build margin (in KgCO2e/Kwh) of current generation mix of Northern Grid is used for calculation of baseline. The emission factor for Northern Grid as per the recently published data is KgCO2e/Kwh. Please refer to Annex 3 for Baseline Development 10

11 B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered small-scale CDM project activity: Emissions Reductions from the Project The project is a run of the river based hydro electric project; hence there are no GHG emissions. The project will be supplying power to the Northern grid which comprises mainly of coal and gas based power plants. The project displaces conventional energy equivalent of GWH thereby resulting in total emission reduction of 166,019 tonnes of CO2e over the seven year crediting period. In the absence of the project activity, equivalent electrical load would have been taken up by the grid mix, which is mainly dominated by fossil fuel based power plants leading to GHG emissions. Thus the Project would help in reducing the anthropogenic GHG emissions as per the combined margin carbon intensity of the Northern Grid. Preliminary screening based on the starting date of the project activity Regency Aquaelectro & Motelresorts Ltd. considered CDM before the Project Activity was considered (as mentioned in DPR). Regency Aquaelectro & Motelresorts Ltd. became cognizant of the carbon credits and CDM activities through various seminars and conferences. This realization provided great boost to the decision of taking up the project. Barrier Analysis Investment Barriers: The project proponents required investing around Rs million, which translates into Rs million per MW, which is very high, compared to conventional power projects. Even though the operating cost is low for hydropower projects, getting finances for the project to the extent specified above is difficult due to the risks associated with hydropower projects such as low plant load factor, irregular monsoons, uncertainty with regard to the availability of water in the canal, etc. Project financial analysis indicates the Internal Rate of Return is 8.37 % which is by every standard a very low return. The CDM revenues by sale of emissions reductions will raise the IRR to 15.19%. Other Barriers: Geological risks: The project sites are located close to the epicenter of Chamoli earthquake that occurred in the year 1991 and 1996 and it falls under zone IV of seismic activity. The possibility of geology changing frequently cannot be ruled out in this area, which may impose severe obstructions in the functioning of tunnel and powerhouse. 11

12 Hydrological risks: Hanuman Ganga is a snow-fed as well as rain-fed river and carries discharges all year round but there is absence of long-term hydrological data. Being a run of- the river project, the generation from the project varies as per the pattern of the river discharges. This will result in an uncertainty with respect to the return on investment. Whereas in the case of conventional power plants based on fossil fuels, the return on investment is assured due to the assured supply of fuel throughout the year. Further, the weir has been designed for a flood discharge calculated by conventional methods. In the absence of any upstream project, the possibility of flash floods occurring cannot be ruled out. This is a potential risk for the project. Implementation Risks: The proposed project activity involves construction of powerhouse in a hilly terrain with loosely held rocks and digging down for installation of hydro-turbines and generators. This poses problems during construction and involves additional investment to pass through the obstacles such as landslides during construction. Flash Floods were encountered in July 2005 which off loaded the plant and also damaged it to a great extent. This is a common occurrence in this part of Himalayas and hence is a potential risk. The project location is underdeveloped, hence no infrastructure such as roads, electricity, communication, transportation and proper civic amenities etc. are available. The project promoters had to face these hardships before implementation of the project. PPA (Power Purchase price) Risk: A barrier that has faced the project activity is the uncertainty surrounding the received price in the PPA. Uttaranchal Power Corporation Ltd after signing the PPA at Rs. 2.5 per unit renegotiated the price to a lower value which has caused serious dent to the profitability of the project. This is a major risk that the project has faced, as a lower tariff would negatively impact the financial viability of the project. CER revenue will to an extent act as a buffer to ensure viability of the project. Barrier due to Prevailing practice The large and medium scale power projects hugely dominate the Indian power sector and the same is true for the Northern Grid as well where the project is located. The private investors, due to apparent advantages of assured return on investment, economies of scale and easy availability of finances are attracted towards the large and medium fossil fuel based projects and hence hydro power is hugely ignored. The trend is evident from a host of planned projects that comprises mostly large-scale fossil fuel based power generation projects. 12

13 The share of electricity from small hydro power in the total installed capacity of the Northern Grid is a dismal 0.66% according to the latest statistics published by the Northern Region Electricity Board. The total installed capacity of small hydroelectric projects is only at 222 MW whereas Northern India s total installed capacity is around 33,466 MW as on 31 st March, Hence, the proposed project is additional and not the same as the baseline scenario and would not have occurred without CDM. CDM revenues are expected to leverage the project economics in case of any unforeseen outages, which could result due to the above uncertainties, and also CDM revenues will help the project proponents to overcome some of the barriers. Approval and registration of the project as a CDM activity enable the project proponents to access additional revenues by selling CO 2e emission reductions. It is estimated that the project would generate 23,717 CERs per year leading in an increase in revenues. B.6. Emission reductions: B.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices: >> The baseline is the kwh produced by the renewable generating unit multiplied by an emission coefficient (measured in kg CO2e/kWh) calculated in a transparent and conservative manner as: (a) A combined margin (CM), consisting of the combination of operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) according to the procedures prescribed in the approved methodology ACM0002. OR (b) The weighted average emissions (in kg CO2e/kWh) of the current generation mix. The data of the year in which project generation occurs must be used. Baseline emissions or emissions avoided by the project activity are estimated using the following formula. Baseline Emissions (tco 2 ) = Emission co-efficient (tco 2 /GWH) x Anticipated supply to grid from project activity (GWH) Using the above formula, baseline emissions or emissions avoided by the project activity are estimated as 23,717 tco 2 per annum. This is based on an anticipated net supply to grid of GWH from the project. 13

14 B.6.2. Data and parameters that are available at validation: (Copy this table for each data and parameter) Data / Grid Emission Factor for Northern Grid Parameter: Data unit: tco2/mwh Description: Gives the quantity of CO2 emissions in tonnes that are emitted by the grid mix to generate 1 MWH of energy. Source of data Central Electric Authority, India (CEA) used: bsite.htm Value applied: Justification of the choice of data or description of measurement methods and procedures actually applied : Any comment: The data in a conservative manner helps in calculating the emission reductions that are taking place due to the project activity. The data has been published by CEA, which is the nodal agency for all power related activities in the country. B.6.3 Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions: >> The project activity reduces carbon dioxide through displacement of grid electricity generation with fossil fuel based power plants by renewable electricity. The emission reduction ERy due to project activity during a given year y is calculated as the difference between baseline emissions (BEy), project emissions (PEy) and emissions due to leakage (Ly) as per the formula given below: ERy = BEy PEy Ly where BE y Baseline emissions (Please refer section B) PE y Project emissions; PE y = 0 for project activity Ly Emissions due to leakage; Ly = 0 for project activity, over crediting period (7 years) 14

Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled: >> Stakeholders for the project activity: The local inhabitants were identified as the primary local stakeholders in the project activity. The Stakeholders were invited by placing poster s and announcing in the community centre s in the nearby villages which clearly mentioned the date, time and venue of the CDM Stakeholders meeting. Stakeholders Involvement: The project proponents had involved all the stakeholders for setting up the Project and had convened a meeting to hold extensive discussions with the stakeholders. After an address by the Project Proponent regarding the project, its benefits and the CDM activities, queries were invited from them which were answered to their satisfaction. The local population welcomed the project due to benefits like development of infrastructure in the area and additional sources of income during construction, employment etc. An attendance of the stakeholders present in the meeting was carried out and also the stakeholders were asked to present their comments in a written format in one month time duration from the meeting. Hence, the project passed through due public consultation process. E.2. Summary of the comments received: >> Positive feedback for the project in the form of letters from the villagers and the local governing bodies were received. The stakeholders were unanimously in favor of the project and had the opinion that it would bring prosperity to the area. The various benefits listed in the letters of correspondence are: 1. The huge employment opportunities for the largely unskilled villagers during the various phases of the project. 2. The availability of electricity all day round brought significant comforts to the villagers in more ways than one: It gave a boost to the rural occupations of basket making, candle making etc. that could be carried out at night instead of limiting them to day time only. Children could study after the last light of the day which helped them perform better. The lighting during night made the place safer at night and offered protection from animals etc. The farmers could practice the modern techniques in agriculture which are mostly electricity dependent. New modes of entertainment and awareness opened up for the villagers in the form of television sets, radios etc. 21

26 Annex 4 MONITORING INFORMATION The parameter mentioned in the monitoring plan would be monitored in the plant. The entire process of monitoring has been streamlined and will be made available in the required format during the verification process and for subsequent useful purposes. Energy exports, imports and etc are being maintained in different formats. The calibration of monitoring equipment would be done in a way to maintain best industry practices. Power Generation, Import, Export & Auxiliary Consumption would be recorded daily and the same is being verified and approved by Chief Project Officer. These records are being sent to Head Office for review by the Director and for corrective actions if necessary. The Plant is equipped with energy meters/export meters for monitoring purpose. There would be two energy meters at sub station to measure the export power, namely main meter and check meter with high accuracy. The energy meters shall be tested and calibrated utilizing a standard meter. The standard meter shall be calibrated once in a year at the approved laboratory of Govt. of India as per terms and conditions of supply. The tests of meters shall be conducted by authorised representatives. The energy meters shall not be interfered with, tested or checked except in the presence of representatives of company. If any of the meters is found to be registered inaccurately, the affected meter will be immediately replaced. Monitoring Approach The general monitoring principles are based on: - Frequency - Reliability - Registration and reporting As the emission reduction units from the project are determined by the number of units exported to the grid (and then multiplying with appropriate emission factor) it becomes important for the project to monitor the net export of power to the grid on real time basis. Frequency of monitoring The project developer will install all metering and check metering facilities within the plant premises as well as in the grid substation where exported power is connected to the grid. The measurement will be recorded and monitored on a continuous basis. 26

27 Reliability The amount of emission reduction units is proportional to the net energy export from the project. Thus the final export KWh meter reading is the final value from project side. All measurement devices will be of microprocessor based with best accuracy and will be procured from reputed manufacturers. Since the reliability of the monitoring system is governed by the accuracy of the measurement system and the quality of the equipment to produce the result all power measuring instruments must be calibrated once a year for ensuring reliability of the system. All instruments carry tag plates, which indicate the date of calibration and the date of next calibration. Therefore the system ensures the final generation is highly reliable. Reporting Daily, weekly and monthly reports are prepared stating the generation
