Submission incomplete:
1: The DOE shall identify any concerns related to the conformity of the actual programme activity and its operation with the registered PoA-DD (VVS-PoA ver. 01 paragraph 339).
The registered PoA-DD (Section B.6.2) indicates that the “Quantity of woody biomass that would be used in the absence of the project activity, Bold) will be determined at CPA level. It is noted that all CPAs included in the current monitoring period (CPAs 0001-0006) have applied the same Bold value (3.10 tons/year/project device) which is based on a UN CEPAL report from year 2014. Further, the PoA-DD/CPA-DDs have clarified that the Bold value in the UN CEPAL report is the quantity of biomass consumed per household and NOT per project device.
i. The DOE shall provide information on how it verified that Bold applied for CPA0001 (included 15/06/15) is also applicable for CPAs 0002-0006 (included on 30/01/17) considering that Bold should be determined at CPA level,
ii. The CME/DOE shall address the inconsistency in Bold units (i.e. use of 3.10 tons/year/project device instead of 3.10 tons/year/household).


2: The DOE shall determine whether the registered monitoring plan is in accordance with the applied methodologies including applicable tools
and, where applicable, the applied standardized baselines (VVS-PoA ver. 01 paragraph 342)

For the parameter “Number of days of utilization of the project device during the year (µy,i,a), the monitoring report (page 16) indicates that the surveys were conducted from 13th March to 04th April 2017. However, the applicable methodology (AMS-II.G. ver. 06 paragraph 24) requires that measurement campaigns shall be conducted for at least 90 days, taking into account any seasonal variations of the device utilization. No information how the DOE verified the monitoring complies with the monitoring methodology requirement.

3: The DOE shall list each parameter required by the registered monitoring plan and state how it verified the information flow (from data generation and aggregation to recording, calculation and reporting) for these parameters including the values in the monitoring report (VVS-PoA ver. 01 paragraph 349)
For the parameter “Number of days of utilization of the project device during the year (µy,i,a)” (workbook “survey summary”), some of the surveyed households (Column “O”) have no project stoves installed whereas the same households have been included in the total installed stoves (workbook “PoA Installation database) and considered for emission reduction calculation
