CI-2009 EAc4:Green Power

Green Power - India

As a wind turbine manufacturing company, we have wind mills installed all over the country. In this regard, we would like to pursue for the Green power credit under EA c4. As required by the credit, we can establish two-year contract with the power distribution company to provide 50% of building’s electricity from renewable sources. But in India no Green power is Green-e certified, also no accounting firm is certified under Green-e to do third party verification on the Green-e standards of the renewable energy source. In this case, is it acceptable to have a third party verification done by a recognized audit/ accounting firms or a government body in the country? Please advice.

S, an auditing firm should in theory be able to take the Green-e standard and verify that a renewable energy source in India meets the standard. This approach isn't taken very often so there isn't a lot of precedent, but I don't see why you couldn't do this.

S, how did it go? My project (in Mexico) is in the same situation and I will try the same aproach than you.
