Incompetence
Please indicate reasons for the request for review
1. The Verification Report states the use of "inundated area of proposed project is 3.829 km2" to calculate power density, based on the Certification by Fujian Provincial Investigation Design & Research Institute of Water Conservancy & Hydropower issued on 23/08/2009. The power density calculated based on this value is 10.97W/m2, therefore the PP/DOE stated that there was no need to take project emissions into account. This, however, is not in line with the revised monitoring plan (submitted in December 2009 after the provincial certification was issued) that states the surface area of reservoir at full level is 5.68 km2, and therefore project emissions should be taken into account. The DOE is requested to provide clarification on this issue. 2. Paragraph 207 of the VVM requires the DOE to determine whether emission reductions have been correctly calculated applying the selected methodology. Equation 15b of the selected methodology requires the calculation of project emissions where the power density is greater than 4W/m2 but less than or equal to 10W/m2 with power density being determined by dividing the installed generation capacity by the surface area at full reservoir level. However, the power density has been determined by dividing the installed generation capacity by the inundated area rather than surface area at full reservoir level. The DOE is required to clarify how it verified that the emission reductions have been correctly calculated applying the selected methodology. Other Issues: 3. Page 3 of the verification report states that the verification team has been provided with the Revised Monitoring Report, version 1 on Sep.27, 09, which serves as the basis for the DOE's assessment. The DOE is requested to clarify why the reference is being made to a "revised" Monitoring Report.
