ISO 14064-2 GHG emissions additionality. GHG emission mitigations are additional to the baseline scenario.

Level 1 additionality

Statutory additionality. The project implements actions that go beyond statutory requirements.

Level 2a additionality

Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project implements climate actions that are subject to barriers to implementation or accelerates deployment of technology or activities.

Level 3 additionality

Europe

The International Carbon Registry operates an international greenhouse gas program for the registration of climate projects and issuance of high-integrity carbon credits.

Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources

In order to calculate wastewater avoidance from the facility (by taking wastewater discharged in thermal power plants into account), the first step is to calculate a factor showing estimated wastewater discharge per GWh generated electricity. This factor is derived by dividing “Total Waste Water Discharged by Thermal Power Plants in the 2019 year” with “Total Electricity Generation in 2019 (GWh)”. Then, the wastewater discharge in the baseline scenario is reached by multiplying this factor with the estimated electricity generation of the WPP. This output also refers to Avoided Wastewater Discharge Amount.

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

The project increases the renewable energy share in Kosovo’s energy production mix. It provides 95,600 MWh annual clean energy to the grid. The wind power plant directly contributes to the SDG target, because the project activity delivers renewable energy which would otherwise be provided by fossil-fuel dominated grid-connected power plants.

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

The project activity has created permanent jobs in the renewable energy sector with contribution to the local economy as many employees are from the local community. During the construction phase, the project activity provided short-term employment to many people. The project activity directly contributes to the achievement of the SDG target because it promotes the increase of employment opportunities for the local community and crease short and long-term employment to dozens of workers, while providing a safe working environment.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

The project activity directly contributes to the targeted SDG by achieving annually 98,659 tCO2 of emissions through clean energy generation and displacing emission intensive energy in the national grid. The project activity involves the installation of a wind plant with 32.4 MW of total installed capacity. With this capacity, the project activity reduces 98,659 tCO2 per year.

SDG 13: Climate Action

Energy industries

Kitka Wind Power Project is a wind power generation project with the installed capacity of 32.4 MW. The project was built and developed by AIR ENERGY SH. P. K. (Air Energy). An estimated electricity net generation of 95,600 MWh  by the efficient utilization of the available wind energy by project activity will replace the grid electricity, which is constituted of different fuel sources, mainly fossil fuels. The electricity produced by project activity will result in a total emission reduction of 98,659 tonnes of CO2e/year and 986,590 tonnes of CO2 for the 10 years crediting period.
