Submission incomplete:
Scope: The verification and certification report does not list each parameter required by the monitoring plan and does not provide an statement on how the DOE verified the information flow for these parameters including the values in the monitoring reports as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 393 and 409 (e).
Issue: In regard to the calculation of the ex-post build margin, the Verification and Certification Report states that the Government of Argentina does not follows exactly the steps included in the tool, therefore, PP amended the calculation following exactly the steps indicated in the tool (page 40). However, the DOE has not confirmed whether the power plants that are registered as CDM have been included prior to the inclusion the power plants that are more than 10 years old, as per the step (d) of page 15 of the tool, considering: (i) the revised build margin calculation still considers the same set of power plants; (ii) the revised build margin calculation indicates in cell O259 sheet GEF-BM that data about CDM projects are not available (i.e. “Given data about CDM projects are not available, these power plants older than 10 years are all considered as renewable energy.”). Furthermore, if the calculation does not follow the provision in the tool, the DOE is also requested to explain why request for deviation was not requested.
