The project is expected to produce 1,370,000 MWh of electricity per year, over the first crediting period. The annual electricity delivered to the grid by the project, would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources. The project is expected to produce 580,882 tonnes of CO2e emissions reductions.
