CDM project activity/programme of activities issuance request review form (CDM-ISSR-FORM) (Version 03.0)

Project title of the project activity or programme of activities (PoA) for which issuance is requested	Wugang Gas-Steam Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) Project (3166)
DOE that requested for issuance and date of request	ERM CVS (05 Mar 12)
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 applied methodology (ACM0012)  requires the parameter “Net Calorific Value annual average for WECM (NCVWCM,y)” to be monitored monthly (with a minimum frequency of six monthly monitoring in cases where it is established that the NCV of WECM does not fluctuate greatly).While the DOE has verified that this parameter has been monitored during the current monitoring period at six monthly intervals (page 33 of the verification report), the monitoring plan states that that the parameter will not be monitored (see page 38, footnote 40 of the PDD) which is not in accordance with the applied methodology.  The DOE is requested to clarify how it verified that the monitoring plan is in compliance with the applied methodology and why it did not issue a FAR to require the project participant to revise the monitoring plan to include the monitoring of this parameter in accordance with the applied methodology. Section B.6 of the PDD states that the grid emission factor was calculated ex-ante and would be fixed throughout the crediting period.  However, Section B.7 of the PDD (pages 54 and 60) states that the CO2 emission factor for the Central China Power Grid (EFCM grid y ) would be monitored ex-post which creates confusions on whether the grid emission factor is ex-ante or ex-post (presumed to be ex-ante). The DOE is requested to clarify why it did not issue a FAR to require the project participant to revise the monitoring plan to correct the inconsistencies in the PDD. Please refer to paragraph 199 of the VVM (version 1.2).
