Submission incomplete:
Scope: The verification report does not state that the monitoring plan is in accordance with the applied methodology. (VVS v.7 para 274)
Issue: The measurement methods and procedures specified in the approved monitoring methodology (AMS-I.C ver. 18) state that for parameter:
a) EGthermal,y (the net quantity of heat supplied by the project activity)_ “In case the project activity is exporting heat to other facilities, the metering shall be carried out at the recipient’s end and measurement results shall be cross checked with records for sold/purchased thermal energy (e.g. invoices/receipts)”. However, the monitoring plan does not report how EGthermal,y will be cross-checked in accordance with the methodology requirements.
b) Qwoodchip,y (Total biomass quantity consumed) _ “Adjust for the moisture content in order to determine the quantity of dry biomass. And/or perform an annual energy/mass balance that is based on purchased quantities and stock. If more than one type of biomass fuel is consumed, each shall be monitored separately”. However, the monitoring plan does not indicate how the moisture content was taken into account in determining the Qwoodchip,y. In addition, there is no information on how the energy/mass balance was performed.

The DOE is requested to provide information on how it verified the compliance of the monitoring plan with the applied approved monitoring methodology.
