2 SECTION A. Description of project activity CDM-MR-FORM A.1. Purpose and general description of project activity ACME Solar Technologies (Gujarat) Private Limited (ASTGPL) implemented a 15 MW solar photovoltaic technology based power plant in Village-Wadgam, Tehsil-Khambat in Anand District in the state of Gujarat. The electricity generated from the project activity is exported to the regional electricity grid and sold to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) under a power purchase agreement. ASTGPL is using thin film CdTe technology for its 15 MW project. The Solar power system is designed with number of sub main plants and solar PV arrays. Solar grid connected inverters of suitable capacity are used. Since the project activity is a Greenfield project, the approved small scale methodology AMS.I.D already prescribes the baseline scenario as being electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources into the grid. The electricity exported by the proposed project activity would displace an equivalent amount of electricity generated by the power plants already operational and proposed to be added in the NEWNE Grid which relies predominantly on fossil fuels (particularly coal). Thus, it contributes towards reduction in the demand-supply gap during periods of electricity shortage and increase in the share of renewable energy in the grid mix. The electricity generated from project activity is exported to grid. Project activity is implemented and commissioned on 13/03/2012 and operated as per the registered PDD. The technology for the project is environmentally safe and sound. Further, there is no technology transfer associated with the project activity. During the current monitoring period, the project activity was operated and monitored in accordance with the applicable baseline and monitoring methodology AMS I D, Version 17 and as per registered PDD. The total emission reductions achieved for the current monitoring period are 26,083 tco 2e. A.2.

Contact information of responsible persons/entities CDM-MR-FORM Mr. Manish Dabkara CEO EKI Energy Services Limited Plot 48, Scheme 79, Part- 2, Vijay Nagar, Indore , Madhya Pradesh (India) Mob: Ph: Fax: The above entity is not project participant as mentioned in Appendix 1. SECTION B. Implementation of project activity B.1. Description of implemented registered project activity ASTGPL is using thin film CdTe technology for its 15 MW project. The Solar power system is designed with number of sub main plants and solar PV arrays. Solar grid connected inverters of suitable capacity are used. Since the project activity is a Greenfield project, the approved small scale methodology AMS.I.D already prescribes the baseline scenario as being electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources into the grid. The electricity exported by the proposed project activity would displace an equivalent amount of electricity generated by the power plants already operational and proposed to be added in the NEWNE Grid which relies predominantly on fossil fuels (particularly coal). Thus, it contributes towards reduction in the demand-supply gap during periods of electricity shortage and increase in the share of renewable energy in the grid mix. Technology specification of the product is further described below. Technical Specifications at the time of commissioning and during CDM registration of project activity Type of solar photovoltaic modules Thin Film Make of solar photovoltaic modules First Solar Model of PV modules FS-272 FS-275 FS-277 FS-280 Capacity of each photovoltaic modules 72.5 W 75 W 77.5 W 80 W Number of units of each type 2,970 56,790 70,290 63,495 Number of solar PV modules installed 193,545 Type of inverters Central Make of inverters ABB Capacity of each inverter 500 kw Total capacity of solar power project MW It is to be noted that the above technical specifications were available at the time of commissioning and CDM Registration of project activity. However it was observed that few modules had some problem of degradation. Therefore supplier replaced few modules with 110 Watt modules which are higher wattage hence less in number. The change in modules is started from Sept 2015 onwards. Despite the change in module configuration capacity of project activity remains as 15 MW rated capacity. This change does not impact any change in capacity or scale of project activity. Currently there are 2,970 modules of 72.5 watt, 22,680 modules of 75 Watt, 54,070 modules of 77.5 Watt, 7,575 modules of 80 Watt and 75,330 modules of 110 Watt and total capacity of project activity remains as 15 MW. Thus total number of solar PV modules installed are 162,625. There is no change in Inverters, thus capacity of inverter remain same as 15 MW AC capacity. Version 05.1 Page 4 of 16

5 Technical Specifications after change in module configuration: CDM-MR-FORM Type of solar photovoltaic modules Thin Film Make of solar photovoltaic modules First Solar Model of PV modules FS-272 FS-275 FS-277 FS-280 FS Capacity of each photovoltaic modules 72.5 W 75 W 77.5 W 80 W 110 W Number of units of each type 2,970 22,680 54,070 7,575 75,330 Number of solar PV modules installed 162,625 Type of inverters Central Make of inverters ABB Capacity of each inverter 500 kw Total capacity of solar power project MW The change in module configuration is mentioned in revised PDD through Post Registration Changes route as mentioned in section B.2 of MR and same are accepted on 05/10/2017. Power evacuation infrastructure has been set up as per the guidelines of Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commissions (GERC), Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and the respective Distribution Company (DISCOM). The proposed project is connected to the nearby 66 kv grid substation. The grid connection unit continuously synchronize the incoming solar power with the available grid for safe and efficient operation. The metering of net electricity generated is undertaken at the grid interconnection point. Project activity is implemented and commissioned on 13/03/2012 and operated as per the registered PDD.

6 CDM-MR-FORM B.2.4. Inclusion of a monitoring plan to the registered PDD that was not included at registration Not Applicable B.2.5. Permanent changes from registered monitoring plan, applied methodology or applied standardized baseline Not Applicable. B.2.6. Changes to project design of registered project activity The PDD is revised to update project information due to change in module configuration. The revised Module configuration details like module capacity and number of modules are mentioned in revised PDD along with earlier existing information. Please refer technical Specifications at the time of commissioning or during CDM registration of project activity and technical Specifications after change in module configuration in section B.1 of this MR. The module configuration may change in future, but the overall AC output capacity of project shall remain same. It has also been clarified in PDD. The same module capacity PV Panels might not be available with the supplier at a given time, hence the modules of available capacity will be installed keeping the overall output capacity of project within 15 MW. This situation might occur in future too leading to slight modification in module configurations (capacity and number of modules) may occur. The overall capacity of project is shall be within 15 MW threshold limit, thus the changes in project activity specifications information do not affect the applicability of methodology, additionality and scale of project activity. There is no any prior approval required for these post registration changes. As per para 6 of Appendix 1of project standard version 09. The revised PDD version 03 dated 06/03/2017 is submitted to UNFCCC and same is accepted on 05/10/2017. B.2.7.

7 CDM-MR-FORM Reading and Correction of Meters: For the purpose of energy accounting, ASTGPL provided ABT compliant meters at the interface points. Interface metering conforms to the Central Electricity Authority (Installation and Operation Meters) Regulation, ABT Main meters, two in number (one for each bay or line), are installed at the plant to continuously measure the grid electricity export and import. These measurements are recorded at least once in a month by representatives of the State utility and ASTGPL. The monthly electricity generation data is uploaded on the SLDC website. The net electricity exported/supplied to the grid is calculated as the difference between the measured quantities of the grid electricity export and the import. In the event that the main meters are not in service as a result of maintenance, repairs or testing, then dedicated meters for the plant at the GETCO substation will be used. No such event is occurred during current monitoring period. Calibration of Meters: Calibration of all the meters are undertaken once in three years. No any faulty meters observed during calibration. Calibration are done by an authorized agency or reputed laboratory. All the meters are sealed by the State utility and are in control of the State utility. In case of delay in calibration, error factor is applied as per CDM guidelines. Emergency Preparedness and Uncertainty Procedure: In case Main meters are found to be outside the acceptable limits of accuracy or faulty or not functioning properly, it will be repaired, recalibrated or replaced as soon as possible. In the event that the Main meters are not in service as a result of maintenance, repairs or testing, dedicated meters for the plant at the GETCO substation will be used. The main meter reading will be cross checked with records for sold electricity (invoices). There is no any such emergency occurred for current monitoring period.
