Details
This project is located in Indonesia. Minimum order: 50 carbon credits. The project has positive impacts with respect to the environment (offsetting fossil fuel use and lowering greenhouse gas emissions) and society (creating jobs, and developing new infrastructure). This power from a GHG-free source displaces power from the Sulawesi grid, which is primarily fossil-fuel-based, resulting in emission reductions of 608,090 tCO2 per year. The project contributes significantly to the social and economic well-being of local people by creating employment opportunities. • The project activity improves the connectivity of the local area through the construction of additional roads and other infrastructure developments. • As part of a social program, the project owners provide free electricity to the local people residing in the adjacent village. This improves the standard of living of the people.
