Methodology Idea Note
M0219
1. Energy (renewable/non-renewable)
The proposed methodology applies to project activities operating closed-loop pumped-storage hydroelectric projects, which are connected to the power grid to deliver renewable energy to consumers. GHG emissions reductions are achieved when excess and stored renewable energy generated by the project activity is delivered to consumers during periods of high GHG intensity instead of electricity generated from fossil fuels.
SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT
The methodology idea note was submitted by Greenko Energies Private Limited (GEPL) (opens on external site) and is currently at “Step 1: Methodology Idea Note Submission” of the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, v4.3 (PDF).
