Overview
The Bundled Solar Power Project, developed by SolarArise India Projects Pvt Ltd, generates clean electricity through solar energy — a renewable resource. The project is a bundled activity which includes the installation of a 120 MW solar project in various states of India through special-purpose vehicles.
Over the 10 years of the first crediting period, this project will replace anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases estimated to be approximately 213,089 tCO₂e per year, displacing 220,752 MWh/year amount of electricity from the generation-mix of power plants connected to the Indian grid, which is mainly dominated by thermal or fossil fuel-based power plants. This project is contributing to India's goal of generating 40% of its electricity through renewable resources by 2030.
