Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The validation report does not contain information on how the DOE validated that the changes from the registered monitoring plan are in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Appendix 1 of Project Standard which do not require prior approval of the Board as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 289 and 312.
Issue:
In the revised monitoring plan, the cross-checking procedure of parameter EGexport,y (i.e. Data measured by meters and recorded in logbook will be cross checked by electricity sales receipt, page 23 of the revised PDD with track changes) has been removed. The DOE is requested to provide information how it has validated the completeness of the revised monitoring plan, since the cross-checking procedure of parameter EGexport,y is required (i.e. page 11 of AMS I.D version 17). In addition, the revised PDD is required to specify which option of AMS I.D version 17 page 11 has been applied in the cross-checking procedure.
2: The project participant has revised the PDD using CDM-SSC-PDD-FORM version 6, include the revised monitoring plan. However, the revised PDD (section A.3) did not provide information on the monitoring equipments and their location in the system. Please refer to page 10 of CDM-SSC-PDD-FORM version 6, or page 11 of the CDM-SSC-PDD-FORM version 8.
3: Scope: The validation report does not provide provide a conclusion whether the changes do not require prior approval by the Board in accordance with appendix 1 of Project Standard as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 289 and 317.
Issue:
The project description in section A.1 of the PDD has been revised from “a small-scale greenfield run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plant with an installed capacity of 12.35 MW constructed on an excavated channel which diverse from the MaeKlong river, on the left bank of the Mae Klong irrigation dam” to “a small-scale greenfield run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plant with an installed capacity of 12.35 MW at Mae Klong river. Prior to implementation of the project activity, there are two existing water ways for Mar Mae Klong river; 1) Main water way (pass through the Mae Klong irrigation dam) and 2) By-pass water way (left bank of the Mae Klong irrigation dam). There are no any hydro power projects for both water ways. The project is implemented on the left bank of the existing Mae Klong irrigation dam by using the by-pass water flow to generate the electricity.”
However, the DOE did not provide its validation opinion on this change.
Further, it is observed that construction costs of the water channel was considered in the investment costs (i.e. page 127 of the validation report of the submitted request for registration). The DOE is requested to validate whether it is a change of project design. If so, the DOE is further requested to provide information on: (a) whether the change would adversely affect impact on additionality of the registered CDM project activity; and (b) when the changes occurred, reasons for these changes taking place, whether the changes would have been known prior to registration of the registered CDM project activity. Please refer to VVS version 9, paragraph 326 (b) & (c) (i).
