1: The VVS-PA ver. 02 paragraph 369 requires that: If, during the verification of a certain monitoring period, the DOE identifies that the calibration has been delayed and the calibration has been implemented after the monitoring period in consideration (i.e. the results of delayed calibration are available), referring to the illustrative examples in the appendix below, the DOE may conclude its verification, provided the following conservative approach is adopted in the calculation of GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG removals (para 369 of VVS for PA version 2):
(a) Applying the maximum permissible error of the instrument to the measured values taken during the period between the scheduled date of calibration and the actual date of calibration, if the results of the delayed calibration do not show any errors in the measuring equipment, or if the error is smaller than the maximum permissible error; or
(b) Applying the error identified in the delayed calibration test, if the error is beyond the maximum permissible error of the measuring equipment.
The DOE (p 15-16) states that "there have been delays in calibration for the period 30/03/2014 to 20/04/2014, 21/07/2014 to 20/08/2014, 21/11/2014 to 10/12/2014, 11/03/2015 to 19/03/2015, 19/06/2015 to 06/08/2015, 07/11/2015 to 14/04/2016, 15/07/2016 to 04/11/2016, 05/02/2017 to 11/09/2017, 12/12/2017 to 04/06/2018, 05/09/2018 to 10/12/2020 and 11/03/2021 to 23/03/2021, hence conservative error factor 0.2% has been applied on the values of electricity export and import (both Line 1 and Line 2)......The latest Calibration certificate of 01/07/2021 is checked and it is observed that the meters are within the error limit. Therefore applied error factor for the delayed period is correct as per CDM VVS version 02." Further information is required by the DOE on how it verified the periods when there were calibration delays during the monitoring period as per the paragraph 369 of VVS for PA version 2 considering that:
1) The DOE did not provide any verification information on whether it has checked the delayed calibrated certificates for the period of 30/03/2014 to 20/04/2014, 21/07/2014 to 20/08/2014, 21/11/2014 to 10/12/2014, 11/03/2015 to 19/03/2015, 19/06/2015 to 06/08/2015, 07/11/2015 to 14/04/2016, 15/07/2016 to 04/11/2016, 05/02/2017 to 11/09/2017, 12/12/2017 to 04/06/2018, 05/09/2018 to 10/12/2020 and 11/03/2021 to 23/03/2021 as per para 369 of VVS for PA version 2; and
2) The spreadsheet shows that the 0.2% has been applied for the period of 1-31 January 2017 while the monitoring report and the verification report refer to the delays in calibration for the period of 15/07/2016 to 04/11/2016 and 05/02/2017 to 11/09/2017.

The verification report (p 10) indicates that there is no FAR while the appendix 4 of the verification report contains a FAR. Please address this inconsistency in the verification report.
