SMALL-SCALE VOLUNTARY PROGRAMME ACTIVITY DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM<br />
(Voluntary-<strong>SSC</strong>-<strong>VPA</strong>-<strong>DD</strong>) - Version 01<br />
NAME /TITLE OF THE VPoA: Solar Lighting in Rural <strong>Ethiopia</strong> VPoA<br />
Development Assistance Declaration”.<br />
To conclude, the <strong>VPA</strong> meets all the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the VPoA.<br />
B.3. Assessment and demonstration of additionality of the small-scale <strong>VPA</strong> , as per eligibility<br />
criteria listed in the Registered VPoA:<br />
>><br />
Additionality of the <strong>VPA</strong> is determined at the VPoA level. To meet the criteria, as defined in the<br />
“guidelines for demonstrating additionality of micro-scale projects 2 , a <strong>VPA</strong> is considered additional if<br />
the project is<br />
situated in a Least Developed Country<br />
utilise a renewable energy technology<br />
have a total capacity of under 5MW<br />
This template shall not be altered. It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font.<br />

The proposed <strong>VPA</strong> meets the above criteria, as it is situated in <strong>Ethiopia</strong> and aims to sell 0.6MWp of solar<br />
systems.<br />
B.4. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary and proof that the<br />
small-scale <strong>VPA</strong> is located within the geographical boundary of the registered VPoA.<br />
The geographical boundary of the VPoA is the national boundary of the Democratic Republic of <strong>Ethiopia</strong><br />
and thus includes the project boundary of the <strong>SSC</strong>-<strong>VPA</strong>.<br />
The table below illustrates the GHG emissions sources included in the project boundary:<br />
Baseline Kerosene<br />
lamps<br />
Project<br />
Activity<br />
Greenfield<br />
installation<br />
of solar<br />
<strong>lighting</strong><br />
systems<br />
Gas Included? Justification/Explanation<br />
CO2 Yes In the baseline scenario <strong>lighting</strong> would be<br />
derived from kerosene producing lamps<br />
CH4 No As per AMS-I.A. Methane emissions are not<br />
accounted for. This is conservative<br />
N2O No As per AMS-I.A. nitrous oxide Emissions are<br />
not accounted for. This is conservative.<br />
CO2 No The project activity does not emit any CO2<br />
emissions.<br />
CH4 No No methane generation is expected to be<br />
emitted.<br />
N2O No No nitrous oxide generation is expected<br />
