The DOE is requested to clarify how it has verified the operation of the project activity is in accordance with the description provided in the registered PDD, considering the significant increase in electricity generation continuously during 3 years since the start of crediting period. The PP stated that this was due to an environment regulation that ensures a minimum water flow of 10m3/s to the project activity, however, this figure was not mentioned in the PDD. Further, the PDD specifies 70% plant capacity factor, while the actual capacity factors were calculated as 95%, 89% and 95%, for 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively. As this may be considered as permanent changes, the DOE should have requested a notification or approval of changes to the project description as per para 197 of VVM version 01.2.
