If the results of the delayed calibration are not available, or the calibration has not been conducted at the time of the verification, the DOE, prior to finalizing the verification, shall request the project participants to conduct the required calibration and shall determine whether the project participants have calculated GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG removals conservatively using the approach mentioned in paragraph 366 above (paragraph 369 of VVS for PA version 2).
The DOE raised CAR 01 on the calibration on meters and closed by accepting a correction factor of 0.004 for the period of November 2017- November 2018 without having delayed calibration referred in paragraph 366, 367, 368 of VVS for PA version 2. The DOE is required to provide further information on:
1) How it has validated the a correction factor of 0.004 for the period of November 2017- November 2018 as per the paragraph 369 of VVS for PA version 2 as i) the para 369 of the VVS states that “If the DOE determines that it is not possible for the project participants to conduct the calibration at the frequency specified due to reasons beyond the control of the project participants while the DOE (p 26) states that “The reason for not calibrating the older meter is cost and time” and 2) the DOE did not follow the applicable requirements related to post-registration changes as per the paragraph 369; and
2) The DOE (p 26) states that “The PP has also applied double of the maximum permissible error to values recorded during the period of delay by old meter in ER sheet (C8-D20).” However, the maximum error of the meter (0.002) was applied to“C8” which represents the Gross Electricity exported of November 2017.
