DOE that requested for issuance and date of request	SQS (23 Jun 11)
Please indicate, in accordance with paragraphs 65 of the CDM modalities and procedures, for which reason(s) you request review
Incompetence
Please indicate reasons for the request for review
1) The PDD (Page 5) states that the PP will install 2 Pelton turbines with a capacity of 400 kW, however, the monitoring report (Page 2) states that the installed equipment consists of two Pelton turbines of 450 kW and 150 kW. According to VVM version 1.2 para 197, if the DOE identifies that the implementation or operation of the CDM project activity does not conform with the description contained in the registered PDD, the DOE shall conduct an assessment on the potential impacts and submit a notification or a request for approval of changes. However, the DOE did not submit a notification or a request for approval of changes prior to the conclusion of the verification / certification. Clarification is requested. 2) The DOE (Verification Report, page 27) states that “Surplus power and power peaks over maximum Hydropower production which is needed on the mining complex is not any more generated by Diesel generators due to connection to public grid.” At the same time, one of the applicability conditions of the AMS.I-A is that (Page 1) “The applicability is limited to households and users that do not have a grid connection (…)”. Further clarification is requested regarding how the DOE confirmed that the monitoring plan and applied methodology have been properly implemented and followed, as per the VVM (version 1.2) para 205.a. 3) According to the PDD (page 14) “The calibration of the meters will be carried out in conformity with the manufacturer’s specifications and the Peruvian law, but in any case at least once every three years.” However, in the Monitoring Report (page 6) the PP informs that the date of last calibration of the meters was on 19 March 2007, and thus they were out of calibration from 19 March 2010 to 30 September 2010. The DOE is requested to clarify how it verified that the calibration requirements were met, as per the VVM (version 1.2) para 184.a.(ii), and why the EB52 Annex 60 Guideline was not applied. 4) The monitoring plan in the registered PDD (page 13) states that 3 meters will be used to monitor the electricity supplied to the mine, however, the monitoring report (page 5) also includes another meter called M0, located at Huachaper substation. According to the VVM (ver 1.2) paragraph 204, the DOE is requested to verify that the monitoring of emission reductions shall be implemented in accordance with the monitoring plan contained in the registered PDD or the accepted revised monitoring plan. Further clarification is requested regarding how the DOE verified that the actual monitoring was in accordance with the monitoring plan.
