The DOE states that the monitoring frequency for parameter Ny,i,a (Number of project devices of type I and age a that are operating in year) and Δny,i,a (parameter of factor to consider the efficiency loss of the project device type I due to its aging at the yearly) are annual while the other page of the DD states that the monitoring of Ny,i,a shall be done at least once every two years. The DOE is required to provide further information on 1) why it did not raise any concern on inconsistent monitoring frequency defined in the monitoring plan and 2) why it did not consider temporary deviations from the monitoring plan as the monitoring was not done as per its monitoring plan.
Please refer to paragraphs 376(a) of VVS-PoA (version 01.0).

As per paragraph 120 (b) the PS-PoA (version 01.0), the eligibility criteria shall cover conditions to avoid double counting, such as unique identifications of product and end-user locations. The PoA-DD (p 19) states that “End user information is collected through direct sales to end-users by retailers or agents of the CPA implementers and is contained in an emission reduction contract. This information is collated into a spreadsheet/database (Excel or other programmes which may emerge that assure quality) from which CPA monitoring can be conducted.” The DOE (p 14) states that “The unique serial number on each ICS, personal information of ICS owners and date of purchase of ICS was cross checked with the sales database available with the CME.” However, the spreadsheet of 'CDM 10182 PoA - ER Calculation - VP3 - 19082018.xlsx' indicates that some purchasers have more than one stove. For example, the same households (referring to the same Purchaser, same Village/District and/or same telephone number) in the sheet of “TSR Area55 13082015-31012017” are observed to have 2 stoves, 3 stoves, 4 stoves, 5 stoves, 9 stoves or even 260 stoves (i.e. lonjezo phiri). The parameter By=1,new,i,survey (Annual quantity of woody biomass used by project devices in tonnes per device, i.e. 1.881 Tonne/year/stove for the CPAs) was determined based on biomass consumption at household level. Further, the spreadsheet of 'CDM 10182 PoA - ER Calculation - VP3 - 19082018.xlsx' indicates that it does not contain any location/contact information for 553 purchasers.
The DOE shall provide further information on 1) how it has verified the appropriateness of applying the values 1.881Tonne/year/stove in determining the emission reductions considering that there are households which have more than one stove and 2) how it verified that the sampling conducted by the CME, with regard to whether the selected samples were representative of the population as the spreadsheet does not list actual end users information including location/contact.
Please refer to paragraphs 340 & 358 (a) of VVS-PoA (version 01.0), paragraph 24(b) of Standard for Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities (version 07.0).
