Project keyVCS-191Project descriptionThe Dayingjiang-3 Hydropower Project Phases 1&2 has total installed capacity of 200 MW. The objective of the proposed project is to utilize water resources of the Daying River for electricity generation through the installation and operation of four 50 MW hydro generation units at Yingjiang County, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province, P.R. China. The reservoir surface area is 0.108 km2, and the power density is 1851.9 W/m2. The proposed project is a grid-connected renewable energy project, from which the electricity generated will be sold to the Dehong Power Grid and then be fed to Yunnan Power Grid, an integral part of the China Southern Power Grid (CSPG). The proposed project activity will achieve obvious GHG emission reductions by avoiding CO2 emissions, as grid-connected fossil fuel-fired power plants are dominated in the CSPG. The annual average estimated emission reductions over the first crediting period are 569,379 tonnes of CO2e.
