Gansu Diebu Niaojiaga 12,9 MW Hydropower Station Project
This involves the construction and operation of a run-of-river hydropower station at the main stream of the Bailongjiang River. The main objective of the project is to generate power from a hydropower station in the province of Gansu and to contribute to the sustainability of power generation of the Northwest China Grid. The hydropower station has a total installed capacity of 12.9 MW. The project will reduce GHG emissions mainly through the displacement of fossil-fuel based grid connected power generation.
The Niaojiaga Hydropower Station is located at the main stream of the Bailonjiang River near the village of Ni’ao in Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of the province of Gansu, China. It is a Tibetan village consisting of approximately 624 persons who live mainly of agriculture and animal husbandry. The centre of this project is located at a longitude of 105°31’55’’ East and a latitude of 33°58’13’’ North.
Construction of the project started in June 2004. The 1st turbine with an installed capacity of 4.3 MW became operational in August 2006, the 2nd turbine in November 2006 and the 3rd turbine in March 2007. At the time of the Project Design Document, the project was fully operational.
Certification:
RePay International invested in this project by buying verified emission reductions generated by this project during the monitoring period from 1 August 2006 until 13 May 2007. After this date the project was officially registered in the CDM Registry (registration number 1005) with the approval of the UNFCCC Executive Board and after the date of registration the project will therefore claim emission reductions as Certified Emission Reductions under the Clean Development Mechanism.The verification report is based on CDM PDD, VCS additional information, the monitoring report, supporting documents made available to the verifier and information collected during interviews and during the on-site assessment. The verification opinion is assured assuming the credibility of the documents provided by the project proponent.
