The Hydro Power Development Corporation of Arunachal Pradesh (HPDCAPL) has received verified carbon credits for its 3 MW Zemithang hydro project in Tawang, making it the Northeast’s first in the voluntary carbon market.
The Universal Carbon Registry issued credits for FY 2022–23, with the project having generated 16,326 tonne so far and targeting 97,783 tonne by 2028.
The plant uses 1.5 MW pelton turbines and remains HPDCAPL’s only commissioned project. The initiative supports India’s net-zero goal by 2070.
