General description of small-scale project activity A.1 Title of the small-scale project activity: >> Jiangxi Luohongkou 8.25MW Hydropower Project, China Version number of the document: 01 Date: 2008-07-25 A.2. Description of the small-scale project activity: >> Jiangxi Luohongkou 8.25MW Hydropower Project (hereafter referred to as the Project) is located on the middle reach of the North Branch Suichuan River in Luohongkou Village, Xiaqi Township Jinggangshan City, southwest of Jiangxi Province, People’s Republic of China. The project is constructed and operated by Jinggangshan Longgan Hydropower Development Co., Ltd.. The project is a hydropower station at dam toe, consisting of the gravity retaining dam, the overflow dam, sand sluice and inlet. The reservoir is a daily regulating reservoir. Its reservoir capacity at normal pool level is 3.63 million cubic meters, with a regulating storage of 940,000 m3. The project has three 2.75 MW turbines, and thus the total installed capacity sums up to 8.25 MW. The annual electricity generation will be approximately 22,698 MWh, which will be delivered to the Central China Power Grid. The purpose of the project is to utilize the hydrological resources to generate electricity which would be delivered to the Central China Power Grid. As Central China Power Grid is dominated by fossil fuel-fired power plants, the proposed project will achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions by displacing part of the electricity generated by thermal power stations of Central China Power Grid. The annual emission reductions are 22,119 tCO2e. The project contributes to sustainable development to the local society and the host country, through following aspects: • Reducing the fossil fuel consumption, promoting the use of renewable energy and the diversification of the energy structure in China compared to a business-as-usual scenario. • Reducing the emission of other pollutants resulting from the power generation industry in China, compared to a business-as-usual scenario. • Creating 22 local employment opportunities during the project operation period. • Alleviating power shortage in the local areas, stimulating the local economy development. 3 PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM-SSC-PDD) - Version 03 CDM – Executive Board A.3.

Type and category(ies) and technology/measure of the small-scale project activity: According to Appendix B of the simplified procedures for small-scale activities, the type and category of the proposed project is as follow: • Type I – Renewable Energy Project; • Category I.D. – Grid Connected Renewable Electricity Generation. The proposed project is a power station at dam toe, consisting of gravity retaining dam, overflow dam, sand sluice and inlet. The reservoir is a daily regulating reservoir, its capacity at its normal reservoir level, 217.00m, is 3.63 million cubic meters, with a 5 PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM-SSC-PDD) - Version 03 CDM – Executive Board regulating storage of 940,000 m3. The powerhouse has three 2.75 MW turbines, and the total installed capacity sums up to 8.25MW, with the turbines types of JP502-LH-190 and the generators type of SF2750kw-24. In the east of the powerhouse is an open-air transformer station, and 9.1km 110kV transmission lines to connect into Jiangxi Power Grid, finally into the Central China Power Gird.

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: >> The methodology applied for the Project is the approved methodology for small-scale CDM project-“AMS.I.D. Grid connected renewable electricity generation” (version13), and “the tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system” (version 1). For more information regarding the methodologies, please refer to the link: http://cdm.unfccc.int/methodologies/view?ref=AMS-I.D. 7 PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM-SSC-PDD) - Version 03 CDM – Executive Board B.2 Justification of the choice of the project category: >> The methodology “AMS.I.D. Grid connected renewable electricity generation”(version13) is applicable to this small-scale CDM project activity because: • The project activity is using hydropower, which is one of the several renewable energy projects that are eligible to use this methodology. • The methodology applies to renewable energy generation units that supply electricity to an electricity grid, which is the case for Luohongkou hydropower plant.
