Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The validation report does not contain a confirmation that the changes do not require prior approval of the Board and the provisions of Appendix 1 of Project Standard apply to those corrections as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 289 and 303.
Issue: 1. The corrections of the post-registration change include the changes in the version of the applied methodology (ACM0002) from version 12 to 17, “Tool for the Demonstration and Assessment of Additionality” from version 5.2 to 7, “Tool to Calculate the Emission Factor for an Electricity System” from version 2.1 to 5 and “Combined Tool to Identify the Baseline Scenario and Demonstrate Additionality” from version 3 to 6. However, the paragraph 284-5 of the project standard version 9 only allows the application of the later version of applied methodology under post registration changes due to the permanent change in the registered monitoring plan in case the project participants are unable to implement the registered monitoring plan and it is not possible to monitor the registered CDM project activity in accordance with the applied methodology here. The DOE is required to provide further information on how the application of later version of the methodology and tools is applicable for this PRC as 1) the DOE states that “The methodology ACM0002 version 12.1 as well as version 17.0 provide for green field power generation project activity one related monitoring parameter for the amount of net electricity supplied to the connected grid by the project activity” in the response to Incompleteness Notification after Request for Registration/Issuance and 2) the application of the later version of the methodology and tools is not relevant to the validation of correction under para 303-5 of the VVS version 9.
2. The DOE (p 8) states that "The corrections are in line with paragraph 303, 304 and 305 of the Project Standard version 9." However, the paragraph 303-5 of PS version 9 is related to the request for the renewal of crediting period.”


2: Scope: The verification and certification report does not provide an assessment on whether the calibration of measuring equipments was conducted at a frequency specified by the applied methodology, the standardized baseline and/or the monitoring plan as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 400.
Issue: The Appendix 5 of the verification report shows that 1) the calibration dates of four meters are "16/08/2012; 06/01/2013 (Installation); 21/05/2014" and "16/08/2012; 06/01/2013 (Installation); 20/05/2014" and 2) the period of delayed calibration is "From: 06/01/2014 To: 20/05/2014" and "From: 06/01/2014 To: 19/05/2014". The DOE is required to provide further information how it verified the calibration on "06/01/2013 (Installation)".

3: Scope: The verification and certification report does not provide a conclusion on the verified amount of emission reductions achieved nor/or confirm that appropriate methods and formulae for calculating baseline emissions, project emissions and leakage have been followed as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 403 (c) and 409 (j).
Issue: The DOE states in the section E.8 (assessment of data and calculation of emission reduction) that "BEy= (567,514.583 –845.015)(MWh)x 0.07005(tCO2e/MWh) = 396,952tCO2e" while the PDD defines the ex-ante combined margin CO2 emission factor as 0.7005 tCO2/MWh.
