•	Whether pre-tax or post tax IRR is selected is not demonstrated in the PDD.
•	The basis of calculation of benchmark is not documented in the section B.5. PLR is not acceptable benchmark for the project. WACC based on Government bonds, risk premiums should be taken.

•	Debt/Equity ratio should be based on recent investment done by the Project proponent. 
•	Prior consideration of CDM which is important for the determination of additionality is not documented in the section B.5 of the PDD.
