| What are Small- Scale CDM Activities? |
A set of simplified modalities and procedures are developed for the following small-scale clean development mechanism project activities :
- Renewable energy project activities with a maximum output capacity equivalent of up to 15 megawatts (or an appropriate equivalent).
- Energy efficiency improvement project activities which reduce energy consumption, on the supply and/or demand side, by up to the equivalent of 15 gigawatt/hours per year.
- Other project activities that both reduce anthropogenic emissions by sources and directly emit less than 15 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually .

| What is simple about a Small- Scale CDM project? |
Small-scale CDM project activities follow the basic stages of the regular CDM project cycle. However, in order to reduce transaction costs, some modalities and procedures are simplified for small-scale CDM projects, including:
- Projects can be bundled at the following stage of the project cycle: Project Design Document (PDD), Validation , Registration, Monitoring, Verification , and Certification ;
- Project Design Document (PDD) will be reduced ;
- Baseline methodologies are simplified ;
- Monitoring plans are simplified ;
- A single operational entity may perform validation, registration, and certification .
