15 MW solar plants to power COP27
Gold Standard · GS12137 · Egypt
About this project
The project activity is a bundle of three solar PV power plants located in Sharm ElSheikh (Egypt), each with an installed capacity of aproximately 5 MW, totalling 15 MW. The project will replace anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) estimated to be approximately 13,783 tCO2e per annum, thereon displacing 34,492 MWh/year amount of electricity that would have been otherwise mainly produced through the use of fossil fuels.
