Submission incomplete:
1: The coordinating/managing entity did not ensure that the design of the generic CPA complies all the requirements in the applied methodologies. Please refer to paragraph 92 of the PS-PoA version 2.0
Specifically, the C/ME shall explain how the compliance with the microscale thresholds were met given that paragraph 12 of the "TOOL19: Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities" sets a threshold of energy savings equals to 20 GWh per year (or 60 GWh thermal) whereas the section related to the applicability of methodologies and standardized baselines in the generic components state that it will be demonstrated that each of the ICS units distributed under the CPA will not exceed 180 GWhth annual energy savings (automatically meeting the methodology applicability criteria and automatically demonstrating additionality).
2: The coordinating/managing entity did not ensure that the design of the generic CPA complies all the requirements in the applied methodologies. Please refer to paragraph 92 of the PS-PoA version 2.0.
The C/ME justified the compliance with paragraph 5 of AMS-II.G by providing two weblinks, being one a MSc thesis and the other a database of international statistical from the UN. However (i) it is not clear from the MSc thesis which numbers/figures were used to justify that “Non-renewable biomass has been used in the project region since 31 December 1989” and (ii) the link to the international statistical databases from the UN provides data from “Population by sex and urban/rural residence”.
3: The C/ME did not set out proper conditions for a proposed CPA to be included in the PoA, specifically related to the type of technology to be deployed. Please refer to paragraphs 123 and 124(d) from the PS-PoA version 2.0.
One of the specifications of the technology/measure deployed by the generic components indicated in the eligibility criteria 4 is that the rated annual thermal energy savings of ICS included under the CPAs shall not be more than 180GWhth. However, additionality for each CPA will be demonstrated based on the TOOL19 which sets a threshold of energy savings equals to 20 GWh per year (or 60 GWh thermal).
4: The DOE did not determine whether the proposed generic CPA meets all the applicability conditions of the selected methodologies. Please refer to paragraph 102 of the VVS-PoA version 2.0.
When assessing the compliance with paragraph 5 of AMS-II.G, the DOE reviewed the document “Produção e Consumo Doméstico de Combustíveis Lenhosos em Moçambique” and UN data on consumption of biomass for the host country Mozambique, and observed that non-renewable biomass had been used since 1948 in Mozambique both in rural and urban areas. It also provided a table with figures of biomass consumed in 1948, 1988, 1989 and 2020. The DOE shall further substantiate how it has verified the sources provided by the C/ME since (i) it is not clear from the document “Produção e Consumo Doméstico de Combustíveis Lenhosos em Moçambique” which numbers/figures were used to justify that “Non-renewable biomass has been used in the project region since 31 December 1989” and (ii) the link to the international statistical databases from the UN provides data from “Population by sex and urban/rural residence”
