1: In validating the revised PDD containing the proposed or actual changes, and in preparing the opinion, the DOE shall include information on how the proposed revisions comply with all requirements in the updated/changed methodologies including applicable tool (para 310(b)(ii) of VVS of PA v1). The paragraph 256 of PS for PA version 1 requires the project participant provide references of applied methodologies and tools in the registered CDM project activity when describing the implementation and monitoring.
The revised PDD (p 29) states that “The combined margin emission factor is an ex-post parameter and will be calculated as per latest version of ―Tool to calculate the emissions factor for an electricity system‖ at the time of verification of project activity.” The DOE validates this change by stating that “The calculation of the grid emission factor will follow the latest version of the “Tool to calculate the Emissions Factor for an electricity system” based on the most recently data available, at the time of verification.” The PP/DOE is required to define the version of the tool as per the paragraph 256 of PS for PA and paragraph 310(b)(ii) of VVS of PA v1.

2: The paragraph 373 of VVS for PA v.1 requires the DOE to determine whether the equipment is calibrated either in accordance with the specifications of the local/national standards, or as per the manufacturer’s specification.
The validation report for PRC (p 11) states that “the manufacturer specifications are followed as allowed under §373 of the CDM VVS version 1.0.” The DOE is required to provide in information on calibration requirement of the local/national standards as per the para 373 of CDM VVS version 1.0 considering that the PP’s response to the CAR 07 and 08 indicates that there is the national standard for the calibration frequency.
