ELIGIBILITY FOR CDM

• Project should be additional
• Started after 2000
• Environment/ CDM considered in decision making
• Is not the only legal alternative
• Had to overcome barriers
• Financial barriers
• Other barriers (technical, institutional,
  infrastructure etc.)
• Not a common practice
• Registration of CDM has an impact
• For Large scale
• Run of River projects Existing reservoir
  Volume of reservoir not increased
• New projects Power density gt 4W/m2

SAMPLE CALCULATION FOR CDM REVENUE

• Typical revenue flow for a 5MW grid connected
  hydropower project in India
• With 0.6 PLF, 26280 MWh electricity
  generation
• With 0.75 grid emission factor 19710 t CO2
  reduction /year
• 19710 CER/year
• With 10 Euro CER price 197100 Euro/year
  revenue
• (conservative approach considering various
  transaction costs)
• At Rs 53/Euro rate Rs 10446300/year
• Rs 1.04 Crore /year
• For 10 year crediting period Rs 10.4 Crore CDM
  revenue
