Submission incomplete:
1: The DOE is requested to describe whether the assumptions and data used for the baseline identification are justified appropriately, supported by evidence and can be deemed reasonable as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 87 (c).
The DOE is requested to further explain how it validated the input values to the investment analysis in the baseline identifaction, in particular:
(a) heat rate of the project activity (1850 kCal/kWh), as it is not clear whether it is from the technical specification (PDD page 14) or from the DPR (Validation Report pages 15, A-38). It is also not clear whether it was available at the time of the investment decision, in line with EB62 Annex 5 paragraph 6. Furthermore, the DOE has not provided the result of its crosschecking;
(b) heat rate for sub-critical and super-critical coal power plant, as there is no crosschecking carried out by the DOE, in line with the VVM version 01.2 paragraph 111;
(c) calorific value and price of the gas, in accordance with EB62 Annex 5 paragraph 6, as the source (Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement) was available after the decision to implement the project activity (06/02/2006, PDD page 16).
(d) Calorific value of coal, (5400 kcal/kg), as there is no crosschecking carried out by the DOE, in line with the VVM version 01.2 paragraph 111;
(e) depreciation rate, as there is no justification why different rates were applied for project activity and coal power plants;
(f) Auxiliary consumption of the project, as it is not clear whether the source (Technical specifications) was available at the time of the investment decision, and how the DOE crosschecked this in line with the VVM version 01.2 paragraph 111;
(g) Auxiliary Consumption of coal power plants, as there is no crosschecking carried out by the DOE, in line with the VVM version 01.2 paragraph 111;
(h) the DOE has not crosschecked the project costs of all the alternatives as per the VVM version 01.2 paragraph 111;
(i) the DOE has not justified how the application of the same tariff is appropriate for all the electricity generated considering that 13.5% of the electricity generation will be sold to any entity in the country (PDD page 2).

2: The DOE is requested to state if all assumptions/ data/references used in the PDD for emission reduction calculations are in line with the methodology as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 92(a).
The DOE has not justified why the calculation of option 3 of the baseline emission factor uses the efficiency of sub-critical technology of 33% (PDD page 38) while the baseline identification indicates the efficiency of the technology as 35.1% (PDD page 12). Furthermore, the ER calculation spreadsheet has not been submitted.

3: The DOE is requested to provide information on how it has validated the suitability of the benchmark as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 114 (b).
The benchmark calculation spreadsheet has not been submitted.
