About this project
The project replaces the use of non-renewable energy for boiling drinking water. The project will provide drinking water though community-based boreholes with handpumps. The water provided by these boreholes shall meet the national standard for drinking water and therefore eliminates the need for boiling the drinking water for the households included in this project. The total energy savings will be under the small-scale project limitation of 180 GWh . The project is expected to result in average CO2e emission reductions of 175,096 tCO2e annually, resulting in a total emission reduction of 875,482 tCO2e for the VPA during the first 5 years crediting period.
