Submission incomplete:
In regard to monitored parameter EFCO2,grid,n,y, the DOE is requested to explain how it verified the calculation/determination of simple operating margin to determine the parameter in line with the Tool to calculate emission factor for electricity systems (version 06.0). As per paragraph 42(b) of the tool, if the ex post option is chosen, the emission factor is determined for the year in which the project activity displaces grid electricity, or alternatively the emission factor of the previous year y-1 or y-2 may be used, and the same data vintage (y, y-1 or y-2) should be used throughout all crediting periods. However, the submitted spreadsheet '2017-18 Emission Factor Version 14-Version 2' shows simple operating margin is calculated based on the three-year data (2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18). Refer to paragraph 359(c) of VVS-PoA (version 02.0).
