UNFCCC Secretariat Publishes Information Note on Highest Tariffs Applied by the Executive Board of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in China
24 June 2010: The UNFCCC Secretariat has released an information note that highlights the highest tariffs applied by the Executive Board of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in its decisions on CDM project request reviews in China. The note aims to enhance transparency regarding the appropriateness of the applicable highest tariffs for wind and hydro power projects in China, as determined by the Board in its decisions.
Tariffs for Wind and Hydro Power Projects
The information note provides detailed information on the wind and hydro tariffs applied in decisions on reviews of requests for project registration. These tariffs play a significant role in determining the additionality of CDM projects. The Secretariat’s publication includes a list of tariffs for all provinces in China where CDM project activities have undergone review by the Executive Board.
The highest applicable tariff in each province is reflected in the published list. This tariff is based on either national/local tariff notifications by Chinese authorities or the power purchase agreement for a CDM project activity. The Secretariat also includes references, sources, and additional details regarding the data in the information note.
If and when CDM project activities in additional provinces are placed under review by the Executive Board, tariff information for those provinces will be added to the published list.
