1: (1) The VVS-PA paragraph 363 requires that the DOE shall determine whether the monitoring of parameters related to GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG removals in the registered PDD has been implemented in accordance with the registered monitoring plan.
The four issues below have been found.
(a) The Monitoring Report states that the respective areas for APJ – SHP Tambaú, APJ – SHP Rio do Sapo and APJ – SHP das Pedras are 206,000 m2, 1,005,000 m2, and 460,000 m2, which are based on the respective dispatch 2359, installation license 027 and installation license 476 issued on 10 October 2006, 01 February 2008 and 24 July 2008. It is not clear how the DOE verifies these parameters given that the revised PDD (v3.3) has the provision that the parameters APJ – SHP Tambaú, APJ – SHP Rio do Sapo and APJ – SHP das Pedras will be measured annually by the third party companies hired for the development of topographic surveys and/or satellite image processing after the implementation of the project activity when the reservoirs are full. It is noted that as per the verification report page 3, the respective operation start dates for SHP Tambaú, SHP Rio do Sapo and SHP das Pedras are 28 March 2013, 27 February 2016 and 23 December 2017.
(b) The revised PDD pages 30 -31 have the QA/QC provision that the data from the energy meters of the three SHPs (Tambaú, Rio do Sapo and das Pedras) will be cross checked with the CCEE databank in order to verify the coherency of the data. Further the verification report pages 13 has the provision that the monitored values for EGtambau were crosschecked with reports from CliqCEE which is the Government Chamber of Electricity Commercialization (Official Source) and the difference is close to 0.91%. Similarly, the verification report pages 15 states that the monitored values for EGRio do Sapo were crosschecked with reports from CliqCEE and the difference is only 0.91% higher than the measured data. However, it is not clear whether the lowest values of the monitored data and the government official source CliqCEE data have been applied to calculate the actual CERs. The DOE is requested to address the above issue and to ensure that the conservative values have been applied.
(c) The monitoring report has not provided the line diagrams showing all relevant monitoring points as per section C.1 of the attachment Instructions for completing the CDM-MR FORM.
(d) The Monitoring Report page 12 has the provision that the serial number for backup meter of SHP Rio do Sapo is MW-1501A860-01, whereas the page 29 of the verification report indicates MW-1501A860-02. The DOE is requested to address this inconsistent information.
2: (2) The VVS-PA paragraph 375 requires that the DOE shall assess the data and calculations of GHG emission reductions achieved by from the registered CDM project activity.
The two issues below have been found.
(a)The verification report page 20 has the provision that the latest available data for EFgird,BM value is the Brazil DNA 2016 data at the moment of site visit and therefore, the value 0.1581 tCO2/MWh of EFgird,BM,2016 based on the DNA 2016 data is applied for EFgird,BM,2017. However, it is not clear whether the DNA 2016 data is still the latest available data at the time of submitting request for issuance, giving that the latest EFgird,BM,2017 value is available as per the data published on the Brazilian DNA website. The DOE is requested to address this issue and to ensure that the latest available data is applied while submitting the request for issuance.
(b) It is not clear how the DOE verifies the revised PDD with regard to the installed capacity used to calculate the power density for SHP das Pedras. Page 24 of the revised PDD remains using the installed capacity value 5,600,000 W to calculate the power density for the SHP das Pedras, whereas the updated installed capacity is 5.67 MW.
