1) As per the submitted monitoring report, verification report and excel spreadsheet, the DOE/PP has reported that the Quantity of net electricity generation that is produced and fed into the grid as a result of the implementation of the CDM project activity in year y (MWh/yr) (EGPJ,y) is equal to the electricity generated by the project activity and supply to the grid. However, as per the equation 8 of the applied methodology ACM0002 version 12 and the registered PDD (p 22) , for rehabilitation projects, the EGPJ,y shall be determined considering the annual average historical net electricity generation delivered to the grid by the existing renewable energy plant that were operated at the project site prior to the implementation of the project activity (EGhistorical) and the Standard deviation of the annual average historical net electricity generation delivered to the grid by the existing renewable energy plant that was operated at the project site prior to the implementation of the project activity(σhistorical), until the point in time when the existing equipment would need to be replaced in the absence of the project activity (DATEBaselineRetrofit). Therefore, the DOE/PP is requested to further describe how the emission reductions are calculated and verified as per the registered PDD and the applied methodology. Please refer to (VVS) CDM validation and verification standard for project activities, Version 02.0. section 9.2.7, para 373 (c).
