Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.

Level 1 additionality

Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.

Level 2a additionality

Financial additionality I. A project is financially additional if it results in higher costs or relatively lower profitability than would have otherwise occurred in the baseline scenario.

Level 4a additionality

Policy additionality. Implementation of actions may lie out of the scope of the host country's Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement and, therefore, not eligible for international transfer mechanism. When project implementation goes beyond its host country’s climate objectives and lies outside of the scope of its climate action strategy towards its NDCs, it is considered to be policy additional.

Level 5 additionality

Balsuyu Rooftop Solar project

AMS-I.D.

As a renewable electricity generation project, Balsuyu Rooftop SPPs contributes to increase of renewable energy share in the total final energy consumption through providing 8,400.0 MWh clean energy annually to the national power grid system. 
Project activity has also supports Türkiye in stimulating and commercializing the use of grid connected renewable energy technologies and markets, which are far more environmentally friendly. This will contribute to diversification of Türkiye electricity generation mix which is currently dominated by the fossil fueled power plants. Such a diversification is a long term benefit of the project activity for combatting global climate change.


Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

During construction and operation period, project directly and indirectly generates job opportunities, which results in enhancing local employment and contributing to reducing local poverty. Project provided short term jobs during construction; and has been providing long term jobs during operation with minimum number of 6 employees. And all of these are local residents.

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

The most significant SDG impact of the project is its contribution to combat climate change. Project activity, by producing renewable electricity, will annually achieve 5,447 tCO2/year emission reductions.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

SDG 13: Climate Action

Balsuyu Bundled Rooftop Solar Power Plants project aims to provide clean energy to the National Grid System of Türkiye through while contributing to sustainable development, protecting environment and avoiding Greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In the absence of the project, same amount of electricity would be used from carbon intensive national grid and would release CO2 into the atmosphere. As a Greenfield activity, project comprises six identical units of photovoltaic power plants, located in province of Kahramanmaraş in Türkiye. Project has a total installed capacity of 5.994 MWe with an approximate average annual electricity generation of 8,400.0 MWh. During the 10-year project crediting period, project is expected to achieve 5,447 tCO2 annual emission reductions.
