Standards body issues project-level renewable electricity grid methodology

A standards body has introduced a new approach for linking renewable power generation to electricity grids in both advanced and developing economies. The method replaces broad geographic exclusions with eligibility and additionality criteria assessed at the project level.

A standards body has issued a methodology for connecting renewable electricity generation to grids. It is designed to apply in both advanced and developing economies. Rather than relying on broad geographic exclusions, the approach uses eligibility and additionality tests at the level of individual projects. This places the assessment focus on project-specific characteristics.
