Submission incomplete:
1: Paragraph 122 of VVS-PoA:
In response to the incompleteness regarding the use of processed biomass, the DOE/CME clarified that the fuel remains the same and the change in the fuel type has been taken into account as per paragraph 40 of the applied methodology, wherein effects shall be accounted in case any processed biomass is used. However, the generic CPA-DD has not provided information/equations how the leakage shall be calculated, including parameters that are required to be monitored.

2: Paragraph 124(a) of VVS-PoA:
In response to the incompleteness regarding parameter fNRB,y, the PoA now uses the fNRB,y value from ASB0041-2018. However, the generic CPA-DD has not included provision in Annex 3 of EB 108 (paragraph 266) regarding the use of valid standardized baseline by the CPA during the inclusion.

3: Paragraph 129 of VVS-PoA:
The following have been observed in regard to the sampling plan: :
(a) As the PoA will consist of microscale CPAs, the DOE is requested to explain why it considered the requirement under paragraph 23 of Standard: Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities (version 08.0) is not applicable. It is to be noted that section 5 of this standard has defined specific sampling requirements for programmes of activities. Further, paragraph 23 of this standard has defined specific requirement for CPAs solely composed of "microscale CDM units" as defined in the Methodological tool "Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities", which is the application of 95/10 confidence/precision to be applied for sampling surveys. As the applied methodology does not explicitly define the confidence/precision to be applied for "microscale CDM units", the requirement under paragraph 23 of this standard shall be respected;
(b) The sampling plan has defined the sampling frame and how the primary sampling unit will be determined for parameter Ny,i,j. However it has not defined the same for parameters nnew,i,j and uy,i,j;
(c) The sampling frame (page 31 of PoA-DD) states "it is expected that the geographical locations do not have influence on the parameter of interest. Therefore, all above mentioned parameters can be assumed to be highly homogeneous for each ICS model regardless of how the end user group and distribution/installation location is defined.". The DOE is requested to explain how the geographical locations do not influence each parameter of interest. For example, how the continued use of pre-project devices is expected to be similar for urban households and for rural households;
(d) Provision for sample size of when the parameter of interest is a numeric mean value described in paragraph 14 of Standard: Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities (version 08.0), i.e. regarding the use of Student’s t-distribution, has not been taken into account.
