www.csgstandard.com www.zeroco2.cc mechanical power into electricity. Therefore the wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Wind turbines can be used to produce electricity for a single home or building, but in the case of the Project Activity the wind turbine is connected to the Romanian National Grid (REG), and the generated power is used for a more widespread electricity distribution. The Project Activity is based on only one wind turbine, which is producing electricity since 2011. The wind turbine has a 61.5 m height from the ground. The land where the project it’s located is owned by EKW <strong>EN</strong>ERGY.S.R.L. Baseline scenario The scenario existing prior to starting the implementation of the Project Activity is that the electricity is supplied by the REG where power generation is dominated by fossil fuel power plants. The project scenario is the activity of one wind turbine. The Project Activity started in 2011 and in the first year it supplied more than 800 MWh to the REG. During the first 4 years of the activity the project fed 3709 MWh into REG and replace the same amount of electricity generated by power plants connected to the REG. The baseline scenario identified in Section 2.4 is the same as the scenario existing prior to starting the implementation of the Project Activity. Namely, the equivalent amount of electricity would have been supplied to the REG by grid-connected power plants in the absence of the Project Activity. The Project Activity generates electricity by utilizing renewable resources. The electricity with zero emission from the Project Activity is delivered to the REG to replace an equivalent amount of electricity that would have been generated by the REG where it is dominated by fossil fuel power plants (as shown in Table 12). Thus, the Project Activity will reduce greenhouse gas emissions versus the baseline scenario where the greenhouse gas emission sources are described in Section 2. The net annual electricity delivered to the REG is estimated to be about 927 MWh per year. Accordingly, it will achieve an average reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 594 tCO 2 e per year during the crediting period (see Section 2). Details on the specifics of the installed systems can be found in Annex 4. Sustainable Development The Project Activity will supply clean energy through utilizing renewable energy resources. The implementation of the Project Activity will contribute to improving the environment while 4

The proposed Project Activity will contribute to sustainable development in the following ways: Reduce the exploitation of fossil fuels by supplying renewable energy to improve the existing energy consumption model which relies on fossil fuels; also, it will improve energy security; Reduce the emissions of pollutants associated with the operation of fossil fuel thermal power plants, including SO 2 , NO x and dust in the baseline/business-as-usual scenario, thus improving the local environment; Reduce GHG emissions compared to the baseline/business-as-usual scenario; Facilitate the commercialisation of grid-connected solar power technologies and markets; Promote local economic development by creating local employment opportunities; It contributes to reaching the Romanian target for energy production from renewable sources. With the development of the proposed Project Activity, there will be a real and measurable contribution to the sustainable development of Romania in the following aspects: The Project Activity is in compliance with all national and local environmental initiatives: o o o o The project activity supports the objectives from Local Agenda 21 –sustainable development plan of Tulcea County. (Plan’s object: gaining new investments for the exploring the renewable energy sources); The Project Activity is in compliance with all quality requirements established in the Law 23/2014 for approving OUG 57/2013 concerning changing and completing the Law no 220/2008 for establishing the promotion of the system for producing energy from renewable energy resources.; The proposed Project Activity will produce renewable energy at a production price that is independent from worldwide market fluctuations and risks of fossil fuels; Having an operative, affordable, reliable and financially stable national energy production matrix is essential for any economic development in any country. Based on a reliable national energy generation matrix, stable supply and affordable energy prices, companies can feel more confident and secure with regards to their investments, especially in the production or energy-intensive sectors. 5
