Project Detail:
AIIB’s Environmental and Social Policy (ESP), Environmental and Social Exclusion List (ESEL), and Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs) apply to this Project. The Project has been categorized as Category B and an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) will be used for the Project. The potential risks and impacts of the Project are typical of solar energy projects and can be managed using standard practices.
The main risks and impacts resulting from solar energy development and operation are the following: (i) change in land use; (ii) potential loss of habitat; and (iii) generation of hazardous waste due to the manufacture and eventual disposal of solar panels and the use of battery systems. Positive impacts include avoidance of greenhouse gas generation and socio- economic benefits to the surrounding communities from employment.
