SECTION A. Description of project

A.1. Purpose and general description of project Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (HZL), a vertically integrated natural resources enterprise, headquartered at Udaipur, Rajasthan having broad operations ranging from exploration, mining, ore processing to smelting of non- ferrous metals, is the owner and project proponent of the proposed project activity. The project activity envisages implementation of a 88.8 MW wind power project consisting of 111 WTGs of capacity 0.8 MW each at Samana Site in Gujarat, India.

Purpose of the Project Activity The 88.8 MW wind power generation project activity at Samana in Gujarat aims to mitigate Green House Gas (GHG) emissions through generation of renewable power, and export of power to the regional grid. The electricity generated from the project site displaces the electricity generated from thermal power stations feeding into regional grid. Since wind power is GHG emissions free, the power generated displaces the anthropogenic GHG emissions generated by the fossil fuel based thermal power stations.

Pre-project scenario: No Project Activity

The project activity is a green field project, which means no power generation facility existed at the project site in the pre-project scenario. Hence, absence of any project activity is a befitting pre-project scenario at project site.

Baseline scenario:

The electricity produced by the project activity is be supplied to state electricity board, which lies in NEWNE regional grid (Now Indian Grid), as prescribed by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), country's apex power sector planning body, under the federal Government of India. In the absence of the project activity, same amount of electricity have been delivered into the grid by the existing and proposed fossil fuel fired power plants. The current project activity, therefore, precludes the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that would have resulted in the absence of this renewable energy-based power project activity.

Hence, NEWNE regional grid (Now Indian Grid) has been considered for baseline emission calculations for the project activity.

Evidently, the pre-project scenario is same as the baseline scenario.

Estimated amount of emission reductions over the chosen crediting period:

This project activity leads to an annual average GHG emission reduction of 164,413 tCO2e and renewable crediting period is chosen by PP.

This project activity is registered under the CDM mechanism and the UN reference no. is 18563. The project activity is registered with CDM on 15/01/2009 with a second renewable crediting period of 15/01/2016 to 14/01/2023. However since the project is seeking retroactive registration in GSCER stream, thus the start date of crediting period under GS4GG will be two years back from the design review date. Thus the end date of crediting period will be also 13/01/2030 as per CDM Crediting period.

Thus the crediting period of the project in GS4GG will be as follows:

1st Crediting Period: 30/08/2017 to 29/08/2022

B.1. Description of implemented project Since the capacity of the wind farm project is 88.8 MW, which is much above to the maximum qualifying capacity of 15 MW, the project falls under the UNFCCC large-scale CDM project activity categories under Type-I with project activity being renewable electricity generation for a grid.

Sectoral Scope: I – Energy Industries (renewable-/non-renewable sources)

Type: I -Renewable Energy Projects

Category: ACM0002 Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources

This GS4GG PDD has been developed using the methodology ACM0002, Version 19.0 which is the latest version of methodology and the project activity meets the applicability and eligibility criteria of latest version of methodology also. The project activity is the installation of a wind power generation project i.e. installation of a greenfield renewable energy based power generation project thus satisfying the applicability conditions of the methodology.

The technology consists of conversion of the energy available in the wind flow to mechanical energy using a wind turbine. By connecting the turbine to a generator, the mechanical energy is converted into electricity energy. Therefore, in this process, there are no greenhouse gas emissions or burning of any fossil fuels. Thus, electricity is generated through sustainable means without causing any negative impact on the environment and hence the technology is environmentally safe and sound.

The project employs the use of wind energy for the purpose of electricity generation. Since, the technology employed by the project proponent does not result in GHG emissions; the project does not cause any negative effects on the environment. Hence, the technology used for the project activities do not pose any threat to the environment when compared to the fossil fuel-fired power plants.

The Project activity envisages installation of 111 WTGs of E-48 and E-48 SL Enercon make (800 kW WTGs). The WTGs generate 3-phase power at 400V, which is stepped up to 33 KV. The project can operate in the frequency range of 46–54 Hz and in the voltage range of 400 V ± 20%. The other salient features of the state-of-art-technology are:

• Gearless Construction - Rotor & Generator Mounted on same shaft eliminating the Gearbox.

• Variable speed function – has the speed range of 16 to 31.5 RPM thereby ensuring optimum efficiency at all times.

7 The project has started to avail pre CDM VCS Credits from 13/03/2007. As per GS4GG rule, the Crediting Period under GS4GG will be for 15 years maximum ir-respective of GHG mechanism. The GS crediting period end date will be 12/03/2022 considering the start date of VCS crediting period as 13/03/2007.

Technology Transfer

Enercon (India) Ltd has secured and facilitated the technology transfer for wind based renewable energy generation from Enercon GmbH and has established a manufacturing plant at Daman in India, where along with other components the "Synchronous Generators" using "Vacuum Impregnation" technology are manufactured

Plant Load Factor The expected plant load factor for the project activity as determined by an independent third party assessment is 24.26%. The PLF has been assumed based on the generation guarantee provided by the equipment supplier. This generation guarantee is established based on the prognosis carried out by the supplier for the proposed site. The plant load factor is applied in accordance with paragraph 3(b) of the “Guidelines for the reporting and validation of plant load factors” for ex-ante estimation of emission reductions. Further, GERC in their order dated 11/08/2006 have considered a PLF of 23% for the computation of tariff. Thus, the assumption of PLF for the proposed project is deemed to be conservative However, for the investment analysis, the PLF available the time of investment decision is based on that guaranteed by the supplier and the same is applied as well as explained in section B.5.

Roles and Responsibilities of the Monitoring Team

To ensure trouble free operations and efficient generations through all the wind turbines, HZL has entered into a comprehensive Operation and Maintenance agreement with the manufactures of the turbines. The contractor EIL, under the O&M contract with HZL is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the project activity for the entire crediting period.

The authority and responsibility of project management as well as registration, monitoring, measurement and reporting lies with Hindustan Zinc Limited. HZL has formulated a Project Team to ensure proper and continuous monitoring of the performance of turbines and generation of power. The same has been outlined as follows:

The O&M personnel are qualified engineers and are trained at the WTG manufacturing facility of Enercon India Limited at Daman for operating and ensuring best performance of the WTGs.

The general conditions set out for metering, recording, meter readings, meter inspections, Test & Checking and communication shall be as per the PPA (power purchase agreement) with GUVNL. Reading and correction of meters:

1. As the WTGs are owned by more than one investor at the site, the ABT compliant meter at the pooling sub-station is being installed by GETCO on

Page 12 of 27

33/220 KV side. A tri vector meter shall be installed in the VCB metering yard. At the end of the month, GETCO gives in respect of HZL, a statement of active energy injection and reactive energy drawl of their WTGs. This statement is being the final measurement of the energy supplied to the GUVNL/DISCOM by the company for the preceding month for the purpose of payment.

2. The WTGs of a single customer (HZL in this case) at a particular site are connected to a Vacuum Circuit Breaker metering yard (VCB) which in turn connects to a feeder that ultimately leads to the shared main GETCO meter at the substation maintained by Enercon India Limited. Data monitoring takes place at the VCB metering yard and WTG (through the SCADA system). The electricity metered at the GETCO meter is proportionally divided among the customers connected to the meter on the basis of the prorata readings taken at the VCB end. The emission reduction calculations are done on the basis of the GETCO Main meter reading (net electricity exported to the grid) after deducting imports from the grid as mentioned in the share certificate issued by GETCO on monthly basis. The following figure illustrates the metering arrangement for the HZL project activity. The figure is illustrative of the metering arrangement and does not depict total wind farm size.

3. Whenever there is a major difference between the readings of the Main meter (GETCO meter and the 33kV feeder at Enercon Sub station / VCB meter at wind farm end, the following steps shall be taken. • Checking of CT and PT connections • Testing of accuracy of meters at site and at GETCO meter

If the difference exists even after such checking or testing, then the defective meter shall be replaced with a correct meter.

4. Above steps for apportioning of electricity amongst the individual investors are controlled and conducted by GETCO and the Project Proponent has no role in the entire procedure of apportioning. Share

Page 13 of 27 certificates issued by GETCO are available publically, which constitute base for the calculation of emission reduction.

5. In case of conspicuous failures like burnt meter and erratic display of metered parameters and when the error is found in testing of meter is beyond the permissible limit of error provided in the relevant standard, the meter shall be immediately replaced with a correct meter.

6. Sealing and maintenance of meters: • The GETCO meter shall be sealed in the presence of representatives of HZL / Enercon and GETCO. • Any meter seal(s) shall be broken only by the GETCO representative in the presence of Enercon/HZLs representative whenever the main metering system or the 33kV metering system is to be inspected, tested, adjusted, repaired or replaced. • The GETCO meter at the substation is being calibrated once in 3 year in accordance with Enercon’s operation & maintenance manual which is consistently followed at all Enercon sites across the world.

7. Records: Enercon maintains an accurate and up-to-date operating log at the project site with records of • 24-Hours logs of real and reactive power generation, frequency, transformer tap position, bus voltage(s), Main meter and other meter readings and any other data mutually agreed. • Any unusual conditions found during operation/inspections • All the records are being preserved for 2 years beyond the crediting period.

8. The billing is done on monthly basis. Enercon/HZL raise invoice and submit to GUVNL for payment based on joint meter reading as certified by GETCO at the end of each month for the energy supplied.

9. Billing for the failure period: • In the event that any GETCO meter fails to register or upon being tested, is found not to be accurate within ±0.2 class the energy injected in the grid, shall for the period be measured on the basis of the value registered by the corresponding meter at the feeder end. • In the event that both GETCO meter and the corresponding meter at the feeder end fail to register, or upon being tested, be found not to be accurate within ±0.2 the energy injected in the grid, shall for the period be adjusted by immediately restoring and recalibrating the GETCO meter and the corresponding meter at the feeder end / VCB meter and the correction applied to the consumption registered by the GETCO meter. • The period referred to in the two points above is the actual period during which inaccurate measurements were made if such period can be determined or, if not readily determinable, the shorter of: (a) The period since the immediately preceding test of the relevant Main meter; or (b) One hundred and eighty (180) days immediately preceding the test at which the relevant Main meter was determined to be defective or inaccurate.

The net electricity supplied by the WTGs in the project activity to the grid is calculated based on export and import readings at the sub-station as well as generation data from individual WTGs. The main billing meter at substation records total export, and total import by all the WTGs connected to the substation. Additionally, the O&M contractors maintain records of the electricity generation from individual WTGs which is monitored through the SCADA system. This data is used for the apportioning of electricity export and import to individual WTGs. The electricity export and import by the WTGs of HZL is calculated by using the following methodology

Parameter Figure Unit Gross electricity generated by all WTGs connected to X MWh substation of the state utility Gross electricity generated by all WTGs owned by PP in Y MWh project activity

Page 14 of 27

Share of all WTGs owned by PP in project activity in gross (Y/X) % % generation Total electricity exported to the grid measured at the A MWh substation of the state utility Total electricity imported from the grid measured at the B MWh substation of the state utility Share of all WTGs owned by PP in project activity in total (Y/X) % * A MWh export Share of all WTGs owned by PP in project activity in total (Y/X) % * B MWh import Net export of all WEGs owned by PP in project activity [(Y/X) % * A] – [(Y/X) % * MWh B]

Quality control and Quality Assurance procedures:

Calibration Procedures:

Main meters and check meters are installed for monitoring of the energy exported. The main and check meters is tested for accuracy every calendar year with reference to a portable standard meter. The meters is deemed to be working satisfactorily if the errors are within specifications for meters of 0.2 accuracy class. The data registered by the main meter alone is adopted for the purpose of calculation as long as the error in the main meter is within permissible limits. If during the annual accuracy tests, the main meter is found to be within the permissible limit of error and the corresponding check meter is beyond the limits, the main meter reading is considered as usual. However, the check meter is calibrated immediately. If the main meter is found to be beyond the permissible limits of error, but corresponding check meter is within limits, then the check meter reading is adopted for that period. The main meter is calibrated immediately.

Apportioning Procedures in case the dates of monitoring period do not match with billing cycle dates

The monitoring period for the project activity may start from a date that does not coincide with the date of the initial reading of the respective JMR statement. For instance, the monitoring period may start on the 20th of the month whereas the JMR Statement may report the net electricity generation data from the first of the month to the first of the next month. In such a scenario, the net electricity generation data from the start of the monitoring period to the first date of the next month (the apportioning period) is determined as follows:

Apportioned Net Electricity = Apportioning x Net Electricity Exported as per JMR Exported Ratio Statement

The apportioning ratio is determined as the ratio of the electricity generation at the WTG for the apportioning period to the electricity generation at the WTG for the entire period covered under the JMR statement. This procedure is to be followed for the first and last month of the monitoring period if the start and end dates do not coincide with the date of the joint meter readings of the energy meters.

Data collection and archiving The daily data on electricity generation from WTGs at the site is collected in electronic form. Monthly JMR statements are collected and maintained in hard copy, and archived electronically. The project proponent keeps complete and accurate records of all the data as a part of monitoring for at least a period of 2 years after the end of the crediting period or the last issuance of CERs for the project activity, whichever occurs later.

SECTION E. Calculation of SDG outcomes

E.1. Calculation of baseline value or estimation of baseline situation of each SDG outcome SDG 7 : Affordable and Clean Energy and SDG 13 Climate Action:

Page 21 of 27

As per the approved methodology ACM0002 “Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources ” (Version 19) Sectoral Scope: 01, baseline emissions for the project activity is calculated by multiplying the net quantity of electricity supplied by this project activity (EGPJ,y) with the CO2 baseline emission factor for the electricity displaced due to the project (EFgrid,CM,y ) as follows:

BEy = EGPJ,,y x EFgrid,CM,y Where, EFgrid,CM,y = CO2 emission factor of the grid in year y

EGPJ,y = Net electricity supplied to the Indian grid (MWh)

BEy = Baseline emissions in year y (tCO2)

Baseline emissions

BEy = EGPJ,y x EFgrid,CM,y = 175,505 * 0.9368 = 164,413 tCO2e (round down value)
