Unsolicited letter request registration hydro project 7591 India

Carbon Market Watch expresses concern that royalty payments in India—often consisting of free electricity supplied to state governments—are not accounted for in IRR calculations for hydropower projects. This practice artificially keeps the IRR below benchmarks, which impacts the additionality of CDM projects, specifically citing the Grid Connected Rangit IV Hydro Power Project (Project 7591).

• Royalty payments in India, which typically involve providing a portion of generated electricity (often 13%) for free to the State government, appear to artificially keep the internal rate of return (IRR) below the required benchmark for various hydropower projects.
• In instances where royalties are requested, the associated revenue payments or free energy are not included in the IRR calculations, a specific issue identified in Project 7591: Grid Connected Rangit IV Hydro Power Project.
