(b) Power Utilization: (i) 100% of organic waste generated within SEZ should be used for in-situ power generation or vermi-composted, as applicable. This can be installed at a centralised location or have multiple individual installations. Alternately, organic waste generated should be appropriately sent to projects/ vendors for power generation, vermi-composting or other relevant usage.

In-situ systems should be located along the boundary wall of the processing area and open spaces/ roof tops, within the Zone. For this purpose, developers will have flexibility to use 10% of non-processing area beyond the limits prescribed, for any authorised operations b. Alternatively, SEZ projects can also enter into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with renewable energy developers to meet this requirement. (v) For projects in SEZs having non-industrial hot water requirement, atleast 50% of hot water should be met by solar water heating systems.

(k) SEZ Green Guidelines Compliance and Certification Process: (i) The entire SEZ should be designed as per the Green SEZ guidelines. Alternately, SEZ as a whole can opt for IGBC SEZ rating system in which case they would be deemed to have met the green SEZ guidelines. (ii) Individual buildings within the SEZ should adopt all green guidelines applicable to such buildings. Alternately, such buildings can opt for green building certification, in which case, they would be deemed to have met the green SEZ guidelines. (iii) Certified buildings in the SEZ should renew the certification every 3 years from the date of certification. (iv) ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
