The paragraph 286 of the CDM VVS for PA requires the DOE to provide its opinion on whether the deviation complies with the relevant requirements related to the temporary deviation from the registered monitoring plan, methodologies or standardized baselines in the “CDM project standard for project activities”.
The request for issuance includes the temporary deviation regarding the monitoring of the build margin (BM). The data vintage used for the calculation of BM for this request for issuance covering the monitoring period of 01 Apr 17 - 31 Dec 17 is based on 2017 which is in line with the applied methodology which states that “the Build Margin emission factor EFBM,y must be updated annually ex-post for the year in which actual project generation and associated emissions reductions occur.” Further, the DOE states that the request for deviation covers the period of 01 Apr 2017 - 30 Jun 2018. Therefore, the DOE is required to provide further information on how it verified that the temporary deviation on the calculation of the BM based on the data vintage of 2017 is in line with applied methodology considering since the deviation period covers not only the monitoring period of the request for issuance of 01 Apr 17 - 31 Dec 17 but also the period of 1 January – 30 June 2018.
