1: The DOE is requested to provide information on the steps taken to validate the project starting date as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 104 (a).
Please clarify if the chosen starting date (04/04/2008) corresponds to the signature of the purchase order or the construction and delivery of the turbine and generator. It is since the description of this date is not complety clear in two different sections:
(i) VR pg 19: In the purchase order No. 2259-00-EL-PO-001-01-6 signed between the technology supplier VATECH and the technical advisor HMV Ingenieros Ltda, has been established as a starting date for the construction and delivery of the turbine and generator April 04, 2008. The project developer decides to use this date as a starting date for the project activity, since this was the moment in which the project participants have acquired contractual obligations to develop the project (point of no return for the project developer).
(ii) VR pg 28, Table CDM Actions prior to the project start date: The construction of the project started after the technology supplier VATECH responded positively to the purchase order.
