Submission of comments to the DOE/AE Compilation of submitted inputs:
	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.

	Prior consideration of CDM which is important for the determination of additionality is not documented in the section B.5 of the PDD.  
	Date of PPA is not mentioned in the prior consideration of CDM 


	The selection of simple OM based on low cost/must run resources is not adequately justified. Refer B.6.1

	PP has not provided for each parameter the chosen value or, where relevant, the qualitative information.

Please Provide the actual value applied. Where time series of data is used, where several measurements are undertaken or where surveys have been conducted, provide detailed information.	

Explain and justify the choice for the source of data.

	Ex-ante option of calculating OM is not adequately demonstrated. Step 3 of Refer B.6.1

	Power plants registered as CDM project activities should be included in the sample group that is used to calculate the operating margin if the criteria for including the power source in the sample group apply. This argument is not demonstrated. B.6.1

The selection of option (out of two) for calculating OM is not adequately documented with justification. CEA calculation is based on net electricity generation, the average efficiency of each power unit and the fuel types used in each power unit. Step 4 of B.6.1

The argument that CEA data for build margin is calculated as per Emission factor tool is not documented.  B.6.1

Spread sheet is not provided. The data should be presented in a manner that enables reproducing of the calculation of OM, BM, and CM.
