The project is proposed to be financed through term loans from financial institutions and balance through equity participation. Debt to equity ratio is taken as 70:30.
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Sources (MNRE), Govt of India, provides subsidy for developing Small Hydro Projects. The subsidy for the projects is linked to capacity (in MW) of the project and the per MW subsidy will decrease with increase in capacity of the projects above 1 MW and vice versa. The subsidy for the Small Hydro Power Projects is as follows: Special Category States (NE Other States Region, Sikkim, J&K, HP & Uttarakhand) Small Hydro Power Rs. 2.25 Crores x (Capacity in Rs. 1.50 Crores x (Capacity in Projects
MW)^0.646
MW)^0.646
Thus for the proposed scheme of 3 MW the subsidy amount works out to be Rs. 6.36 crores.
The construction period is considered 3 years. Moratorium period is 3 + 1 years. Thus repayment of loans is proposed in ten years after starting of the project. In the first year after commissioning only interest on loan is paid. After that loan in 6 installments along with interest is to be paid.

he value of Emission factor for the eastern grid is taken as 1.03 for year 2006-
2007 (CO2 Base line Data Base, Version 03 Dated 15 Dec 2007, Source CEA, India) I.
Project Emission: There are no anthropogenic emissions by sources of GHGs in the project boundary as a result of the project activity.
II.
Leakage Emissions: There are no anthropogenic emissions identified by sources outside the project boundary. Further, the project proponent confirms that the equipments used by the project activity are not transferred from another project. Hence, there is no leakage calculation required for the project activity.
III.
Emission Reductions: The emission reductions of the project activity are calculated as the difference between the baseline emissions and the project emissions.

B.6.3 Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions: >> The energy production EGy (MWh/ year) that must be considered to calculate emission reductions is calculated from equation (1): EGy = Installed Capacity X 365 X 24 X PLF = 3 X 1000 X 365 X 24 X 0.49 = 12877.2 MWh/year Then from equation (2) Baseline Emission can be calculated as follows. BEy = EGy x EFy

= 12877.2 x 1.03 = 13263.5 t CO2/ year Then with the help of equation (3) emission reductions can be calculated as follows. ERy = [BEy – (PEy + Ly)] Where project emissions (PEy) and leakage emissions (Ly) are zero So
ERy = BEy
i.e.
ERy = 13263.5 tCO2/year

Environmental impacts
>> 1.
Neora Small Hydropower Project Upper Stage scheme envisages the power generation from available potential and discharge of Neora Khola river and this development is without any pondage. Small/Mini Hydro development projects, while sharing all the benefits of hydro electric generation, harness a renewable source of energy in extremely environmentally benign manner. Therefore loss to healthy atmosphere of society is almost nil to even an environmental conscious state. Being small, it does not involve any submergence or violation of the sanctity of forests.
2.
The location of all the components is so selected that it requires about 6 m wide strip of land for Intake & the power channel in about 2.3 kms length with 15000 m2 area and about 10,000 m2 area for Intake, powerhouse, switchyard, forebay & buildings etc. It does not cause any environmental and ecological imbalance of the area.

3.
Forest wood, petroleum products like Kerosene and diesel are presently being used as domestic fuel in this area. Availability of reliable electrical energy is expected to reduce over dependence on such nature depleting fuel and will also result in saving of petroleum products like diesel and Kerosene.
4.
The scheme would also help in activating Tourism development activities due to regular and bulk availability of electricity and will also improve living conditions. The public health and education conditions are also likely to be improved in the nearby area.
5.
The magnitude of construction activity will not induce migration of labour to this area, as sufficient local labour is available in the area, and thus ecology will not be pressurized.
6.
In addition, it is proposed to do plantation in the scheme area wherever possible. It will further add to environment and overall outlook of scheme.
D.1. If required by the host Party, documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts of the project activity: >> As per the Policy of Ministry of Environment and forest, Govt of India EIA is not required to be carried out for the projects involving cost less than 2500 million, since the total project cost is estimated to be 285.2 Million, the project does not require an EIA. D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party: >> Not applicable SECTION E.
