Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The monitoring report does not contain the values of the monitored parameters used to calculate baseline, project and leakage emissions as well as other parameters required by the applied methodology and the registered monitoring plan as per PS version 09.0 paragraphs 247 and 248 (a) (c) (d) (e) (f).
Issue: To calculate the grid emission factor, ex post option is chosen. Current monitoring period covers years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. It is observed that for years 2012, 2013 and 2014 data vintage y is used, whereas for year 2015 data vintage y-1 is used. As per CER calculation spread sheet, to calculate OM for 2015, EGPJ is based on 2015 data, whereas EFgrid,OM-DD is based on 2014 data. Further, EFgrid,BM is based on 2014. The DOE is requested to explain how this approach to calculate the grid emission factor for 2015 is in line with paras 39(b) and 70(b) of "Methodological tool: Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system, version 05.0" which requires the same data vintage (y, y-1 or y-2) throughout all crediting periods. In absence of data for 2015, why data vintage y-1 is not used for all the years (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015) or why the monitoring period is not limited to years 2012, 2013 and 2014 to use data vintage y.

2: 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).

Further, the DOE shall also explain how CL4 is closed.
