Additional information | |
1) The DOE is requested to further substantiate how it has validated the input values to the investment analysis; in particular: a) steam price, considering that it is not clear how the DOE has validated the calculation for steam price and cross checked against third-party or publicly available sources such as invoices or price indices price; b) average cost of fuel (bagasse), considering that it is not clear how the DOE has validated the quotation/FSR value and cross checked against third-party or publicly available sources such as invoices or price indices and; c) operation and maintenance expenses and auxiliary consumption of electricity, considering that the validation is only based on the feasibility study report of the project activity and the assumed values have not been cross checked against third-party or publicly available sources. In doing so, the DOE is requested to further clarify the following information i) the ownership/relationship among Thai Identity Sugar Group (TIS), the PP and other three entities that receive the electricity and steam from the project activity, ii) any agreement signed between the PP and other three entities for supply of electricity and steam and the agreed tariff for electricity and steam; and iii) any agreement signed between the PP and KTIS and RP sugar mills for supply of bagasse and the agreed price for the bagasse Please refer to Paragraph 111(a) and (b), VVM version 1.2. 2) The DOE is requested to explain how it has eliminated baseline scenarios, in particular : a) P5, P6 and H5, considering that the PP/DOE have not justified why installation of new plants based on renewable energy projects (including wind, hydro, solar, terrestrial, biomass based with lower efficiency) and fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) at the project site is not realistic and credible baseline alternatives for quantum of electricity/heat supplied to identified users and grid; b) B1 and B3, considering that the PDD (page 18-19) mentions that B1 and B3 are plausible baseline scenario whereas these options are eliminated in the validation report (page 20); c) B5 and B7, considering that the PDD and VR have not provided detail specific information regarding any survey or statistics to demonstrate that biomass residues are readily available and there is an abundant surplus of biomass in the region. Furthermore, the DOE is requested to rectify the inconsistencies observed in PDD and VR on reporting baseline scenarios such as: i) The PDD and VR mention the plausible and credible baseline scenarios for the heat generation are H1 and H5. However, it should be H1 and H6; b) The VR page 20 mentions that the identified baseline for biomass is B4 but at the same page it is noticed that the DOE has excluded all the options except B8. Page 19 of PDD indicates the identified baseline scenario for biomass is B1 or B4 but in page 34 it is mentioned as B8. Please refer to Paragraph 81-88, VVM version 1.2. |
