Renewable Solar Power Expansion – Rajasthan
Project Overview
The Renewable Solar Power Expansion – Rajasthan project is a grid-connected solar photovoltaic initiative designed to displace fossil-fuel-based electricity generation in India. Located in a region with high solar irradiation, the project contributes to India’s clean energy transition and national climate commitments.
The project supplies renewable electricity to the national grid, reducing reliance on coal-fired power plants and lowering overall grid emission intensity.
Technology & Methodology
Implemented under Verra VCS VM0008, the project consists of utility-scale photovoltaic arrays equipped with automated generation monitoring systems. Electricity output is continuously metered and compared against an approved fossil-fuel-dominated baseline to calculate emission reductions.
Emission Reductions
- Avoided CO₂ emissions from coal-based electricity
- Reduced grid carbon intensity
- Long-term displacement of fossil fuel generation
Environmental & Economic Benefits
The project supports local employment during construction and operations, improves energy security, and reduces air pollution associated with coal combustion.
SDGs Alignment
The project contributes to SDGs 7, 8, 9, and 13, supporting clean energy access, economic growth, and climate mitigation.
Biochar
This project follows the Biochar methodology under the Verra standard, focusing on renewable energy to deliver verified carbon credits.
Each credit represents one tonne of CO₂ emissions reduced, removed, or avoided, as verified by registry-approved third-party auditors.
