PROJECT PROFILE · CERTIFICATE-BASED CLIMATE PROTECTION
West Huaybong 3 · Thailand
GS7746 describes a grid-connected onshore wind farm in Nakhon Ratchasima with an installed capacity of 103.5 MW. This page separates technical performance, measured grid feed-in, calculated emission reduction, registry status and the subsequent allocation of VERs.

TECHNOLOGY
Onshore wind energy · 103.5 MW
STATUS IN REGISTER
Gold Standard Certified Project
WHY FEED-IN MATTERS
The electricity is measurable. The avoided emission is calculated.
The electricity meter records electricity. It does not measure avoided tonnes of CO₂.
For the project balance, the documented grid feed-in is linked with a methodologically determined emission factor of the Thai electricity system. Only this comparison results in a calculated emission reduction for a clearly defined monitoring period.

The data pass for GS7746
The registry entry specifies the project scope, methodology, crediting period, issued units, and retirements. The chronological classification is crucial: project operation, crediting, issuance, and retirement are four distinct processes.

MITIGATION, MONITORING, VERs AND RETIREMENTS
139,035 t CO₂e per year (registry estimate) · 241,701 t CO₂e documented (01/11/2021–31/12/2023) · 191,319 VERs issued · 5,929 retired

Regarding the period: The specified crediting period ended on 30 November 2024. The status "Gold Standard Certified Project" and subsequent retirements do not automatically prove new creditable reductions. For context: 241,701 t CO₂e relate to the period 01/11/2021–31/12/2023 and do not represent an annual value; issuance and retirement are different processes.
02 · WHAT THE PROJECT PROVIDES FOR
Harness wind energy, feed electricity into the grid and document the generation
For the carbon footprint, it is not only the nominal capacity of the plants that counts. The decisive factor is the amount of electricity generated within a specified period and fed into the Thai grid at the defined metering point.
01
Converting wind into electricity
45 turbines, each with 2.3 MW, result in 103.5 MW of installed capacity. This technical capacity does not yet represent generated electricity or an emissions reduction.
02
Feed electricity into the grid
The electricity generated is fed into the Thai grid. It does not follow that specific households, products or companies are directly supplied with this electricity.
03
Document creation
Main and backup metering, grid feed-in records and independent audits form the data chain for quantification. The documents specify metering equipment with an accuracy of at most ±0.2%.
03 · HOW A UNIT IS CREATED
ACM0002 forms the methodological framework mentioned in the documents for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources.
01
Set baseline
The reference scenario describes how the corresponding amount of electricity would have been provided in the Thai electricity system without the project.
02
Measure electricity quantity
The electricity actually generated and fed in at the defined metering points is documented for the monitoring period.
03
Apply emission factor
The eligible amount of electricity is linked to the methodologically determined emission factor of the electricity system. Relevant project and leakage emissions are taken into account.
04
Verify and issue
Following independent audit, VERs with vintage and serial numbers can be issued in the registry. A subsequent retirement documents their specific use.
04 · OTHER PROJECT REFERENCES
What can be described in addition to the VER calculation
The register identifies four certified SDG references. This designation is not a generalised promise of impact: specific statements require an indicator, source, and period in each case.
ENERGY SYSTEM
103.5 MW wind energy in the power grid
The plants expand the grid-connected generation capacity from wind energy. Which conventional generation is offset in the reference case is considered methodologically via the baseline.
MONITORING
Generation via defined measuring points
The documents describe main and redundant measurements as well as the evaluation of grid feed-in. This data forms the basis of the calculation.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Long-term technical operation
The project documents state a technical design life of 20 years for the plants and a project duration of 23 years. These are planning specifications, not a guarantee of actual operation or impact.
ENVIRONMENT AND SURROUNDINGS
Consider impacts separately
During operation, wind energy does not require any fossil fuel. Impacts on land use, landscape, noise, biodiversity and local communities must be examined separately.
FOR COMMUNICATION
The register entry mentions good health and well-being, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, and climate action. For any further communication, it remains crucial which specific indicators were recorded and verified in the respective monitoring.
05 · FOR SUPPORTING COMPANIES
Issued VERs are not yet an allocation to a company.
A reliable allocation includes at least:
01
Project name and Gold Standard ID GS7746
02
specific quantity in t CO₂e
03
Vintage or monitoring period
04
Decommissioning date and register reference
05
full serial number range
06
Beneficiary and documented purpose of use
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.
IT DOCUMENTS
IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN
a project in the registry status 'Gold Standard Certified Project'
ongoing crediting beyond 30 November 2024
an emission reduction calculated in accordance with ACM0002 for defined periods

103.5 MW of installed capacity
a certain amount of electricity, utilisation or emission reduction without a specific time period
a registry entry with issued VERs
automatically an Article 6 authorisation, a CCP label or an external rating
Electricity generation without fossil combustion in plant operation
Environmental neutrality or a comprehensive assessment of land and biodiversity impacts
the retirement of specific CERs for a beneficiary
