TECHNOLOGY
Solar photovoltaics
STATUS IN REGISTER
Gold Standard Certified Project
WHY FEED-IN MATTERS
For the project balance, the documented grid feed-in is linked with a methodologically determined emission factor of the Indian interconnected grid. Only this comparison yields the calculated emission reduction for a clearly defined monitoring period.
The plant generates electricity. The method answers which emissions are contrasted with this electricity in the reference scenario.

TEST BENCH OF THIS PAGE

What the current registry status changes: the old page only mentions the first crediting period up to December 2025 and ACM0002 Version 20. The registry now lists a second period up to 14/12/2030 with ACM0002 Version 22.0.
Why 2,159,757 MWh is not an annual figure: This amount of electricity relates to the 18-month monitoring period from 01/10/2022 to 31/03/2024. It is therefore represented neither as annual generation nor as current output.
Why multiple CO₂ values appear: The register entry states 1,011,772 estimated units per year. The provided version states 2,018,509 t CO₂e as the calculated result for a specific monitoring period and 1,876,194 t CO₂e as the quantity recommended for issuance. Expected value, monitoring result, and issuance quantity are not interchangeable.
Technology category in the registry: The current entry uses the category "Solar Thermal – Electricity". In contrast, the project documents explicitly describe a grid-connected solar photovoltaic system. This page follows the project documents for the technical description and makes the registry classification transparent here.
02 · WHAT THE PROJECT PROVIDES FOR
Harness solar energy, feed electricity into the grid and track the generated amount transparently
For the carbon footprint, it is not just the installed capacity that counts. What matters is the electricity generated within a defined period and fed into the interconnected grid at the defined metering points.
01
Generating solar power near Jamsar
The project documentation describes a free-standing photovoltaic system with 600 MW AC. Commissioning took place in stages between December 2020 and December 2021.
02
Feed into the grid
The electricity generated is fed into the Indian Unified Grid. It does not follow from this that specific households, products or companies are directly supplied with this electricity.
03
Check creation and calculation
Measurement data, grid factor, calculation documents and independent verification form the basis for the recommendation and subsequent issuance of units.
03 · HOW A UNIT IS CREATED
ACM0002 provides the methodological framework for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources. The version to be applied depends on the crediting and monitoring period.
01
Set reference scenario
The baseline describes how the corresponding amount of electricity would have been provided in the Indian grid without the project.
02
Measure grid feed-in
The electricity actually generated and fed in at the defined metering points is documented for the monitoring period.
03
Apply emission factor
The eligible electricity quantity is linked to the methodologically determined emission factor of the electricity grid. Relevant project and leakage emissions are taken into account.
04
Verify and issue
Following an independent audit, a specific quantity can be issued in the register for a defined period. Only the subsequent decommissioning documents its specific use.
04 · OTHER PROJECT REFERENCES
The Gold Standard registration maps the project to Goals 7, 8 and 13. This does not yet imply a comprehensive sustainability label. Further impacts require their own indicators, sources and timeframes.
ENERGY SYSTEM
600 MW solar capacity in the interconnected grid
The solar park expands the grid-connected generation capacity from solar energy. The type of generation that would otherwise occur in the reference case is analysed methodologically via the baseline – it is not simply assumed to be "coal-fired power" as a rule.
MONITORING
Amount of electricity at the defined measuring point
The provided version specifies 2,159,757 MWh for 18 months. This figure is assigned to a specific period and is not to be interpreted as a permanent or annual project output.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Large-scale energy plant
The project represents long-term energy infrastructure. Statements regarding security of supply, grid relief, or regional development nevertheless require their own data and are not derived from the quantity of units.
ENVIRONMENT
No fuel combustion during plant operation
Photovoltaics do not require any fossil fuel during operation. A complete environmental assessment would nevertheless have to include manufacturing, land use, cleaning, grid infrastructure and end-of-life.
FOR COMMUNICATION
A link to renewable energy or the Sustainable Development Goals is not a seal of approval for the project as a whole. What matters is which specific statement is supported by which indicator, which source, and which time period.
05 · FOR SUPPORTING COMPANIES
A registry project does not yet constitute an assignment to a company
The registry entry explains the project and its crediting periods. Specific support only becomes traceable through the unique retirement of certain units for a beneficiary. A reliable allocation includes at least:
Project name and Gold Standard ID GS7760
specific quantity in t CO₂e
Vintage or monitoring period
Issue and Decommissioning Date
Serial numbers or unique register reference
Beneficiary and documented purpose of use
The profile explains the project. A company's actual climate contribution is only proven by the retirement and allocation certificate.
06 · CLASSIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION
What the support means – and what it doesn't
A voluntary climate contribution is presented separately from reductions within one's own value chain.
CAN BE DOCUMENTED
IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED
a certified Gold Standard project with the ID GS7760
a reduction of your own corporate or product emissions
600 MW of installed solar capacity
a certain annual volume of electricity or permanent availability
measured feed-in for a defined monitoring period
that exclusively coal-fired power was displaced or that certain consumers were supplied
an emission reduction calculated and verified in accordance with ACM0002
a direct measurement of avoided emissions at the solar panel
the decommissioning of specifically identified units
Climate neutrality, CO₂ neutrality or a positive environmental claim
references to SDG 7, 8 and 13 mentioned in the register
that each additional social or environmental impact has been individually proven
A climate contribution should not sound bigger than can be documented.
07 · SOURCES AND RELEVANCE
Read registers, project documents and specific assignments separately
Status, methodology, crediting periods and available units are subject to change. The current registry entry, the project documents linked there and, in the case of concrete support, the associated retirement certificate remain authoritative.
