What is the purpose of the Renewable Energy V1.2 eligibility rule update?

Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG) Renewable Energy Activity Requirements lists the new eligibility requirements applicable to Grid-connected Renewable Energy (RE) projects submitted to Gold Standard for certification after 24/01/2020 (V1.2, paragraph 2.1.3). 

 

This rule update relaxes eligibility requirements for transition projects seeking GS VERs or labelling of emission reductions under GS4GG (paragraph 2.1.3, V1.2, RE Activity Requirements).
