1 PROJECT DETAILS
1.1 Summary Description of Project
İncirli Hydropower plant (hereafter referred to as the Project) developed by Laskar Enerji Üretim
Pazarlama A.Ş (refered to as the Project Proponent) is a grid connected large-scale hydroelectric
power plant which uses the water supply of İyidere river in Kalkandere district of Rize Province of
Turkey (hereafter referred to as the Host Country). The designed annual operation time is
approximately 4417 hours. The total installed capacity of the project is 28.53 MWm / 25.20 MWe
with three sets of turbine units (9.51 MWm x 3 = 28.53 MWm), with a predicted electricity supply
to the grid of 126.02 GWh1.
The aim of the Project is to utilise the hydro electrical resources in order to generate zero
emission electricity and sell it to the Turkish National Grid via TEIAS (Türkiye Elektrik İletim A.Ş /
Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation) which is mainly dominated by fossil fuel-fired power
plants. Thereby the project activity displaces electricity that is relatively carbon intensive (with a
Combined Margin Emission Factor of 0,704 tCO2/MWh) and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
(GHG).
The design flow rate for İncirli diversion weir is 30.00 m3/s and the gross head is 60.00 meters. In
accordance with these values the annual electricity generation is estimated as 126.02 GWh. The
generated electricity shall be transferred to the İyidere Substation by a 34.5 kV and 2 km long
transmission line. Calculated by the estimated gross energy generation of the project activity, the
net electricity generation of the project activity was assumed to be 123.46 GWh annually2 and the
annual estimated emission reductions calculated with the net electricity generation will be around
86,915 tCO2.
The project is operational since May 2011. During the first crediting period between May 2011
and August 2012, the project supplied 121,886.243kWh electricity to the national grid, reducing
85.807tCO2.
The monitoring period subject to this monitoring report has started with the first day of plant
operation. The exact start date of the monthly monitoring is 26-05-2011 which is one day after the
plant operation when the plant management started collecting the data of the previous day.
1.2 Sectoral Scope and Project Type
According to UNFCCC definitions, the Project activity falls into;

3.3 Description of the Monitoring Plan
The Monitoring Plan (MP) used for determining the emission reduction by the İncirli HEPP Project is
based on the methodology ACM0002. Since the project activities involve electricity generation from
7 http://www.elster.com.tr/downloads/ESC_A1500_DS_TR_01-00.pdf
MONITORING REPORT: VCS Version 3
v3.1 10
renewable sources and there is no significant leakage source and environmental impacts, the MP will
include monitoring electricity generation by the project activities and key sustainable development
indicators.
The project owner will establish and implement the Monitoring Protocol before the start up of the Project
production. The objective of the Monitoring Protocol is to provide credible, accurate, transparent and
conservative monitoring data of the emission reductions. Moreover, the real, measurable and long term
global environmental benefits relating to the GHG emission reduction accrued by the Project can be
verified and certified.
Data to be monitored
Net electricity delivered by the Project to the Grid (EGfacility,y)
As shown in the figure below the main and back-up electricity meters of İncirli HEPP are installed in
İyidere substation next to each other in individual sealed cabinets. First week of each month, the
generated electricity of the previous month by İncirli HEPP is read by the officers of TEIAS from the main
meter. The back-up meter is always operative but only used for double checking in case of a
miscalculation is observed in main meter readings.
The net electricity generation will already be measured and recorded by both TEIAS and the project
owner after the implementation of the project. The Plant Manager and its appointed team (whom will be
informed about VER concepts and mechanisms and how to monitor and collect the data) will be
responsible for the electricity generation, gathering all relevant data and keeping the records. The same
procedure applies for the monitoring of the annual installed capacity after implementation of the project.
The generation data monitoring has started with recorded data of seven days starting from 25-05-2011
until 31-05-2011 by TEIAS approval of meter readings on 01-06-2011.

Calibration Calibration of the Electronic Meters:
Elster A1500 meters are factory calibrated and delivered to the customer with the “Calibration Titles and
Values Report’ separately for each meter with serial numbers of 361530 and 3615318.The periodic
calibration process of the meters are subject to The Directive on Metering and Meter Calibration
Procedures that is published in the Official Gazette, number 22000, on the date of 24/07/1994 and
executed under the authority of the Ministry of Industry and Trade9. The meters that are subject to billing
are regulated under this protocol nationwide.
In Article 9, it is clearly stated that it is mandatory to perform calibration on the electricity meters once in
every ten years. The periodic duration starts as of the first calibration and the official sealing day of the
devices.
8 Initial calibration reports are available upon request..

MONITORING REPORT: VCS Version 3
v3.1 13
Article 6 regulates the periodic calibration applications. Every year, by the start of January till the end of
February, the Ministry announces on the government television and radio, the addressed government
offices for receiving the periodic calibration requests based on the perimeters and types of the meters.
The distribution company who uses the meters at distribution is responsible for application and execution
of the calibration control.
Article 8 states that the periodic calibrations are performed by the Measurement and Regulation
Organization of the Ministry and the appointed Municipal Measurement and Regulation Offices.
The mandatory or voluntary calibration reports will be provided to Borga Carbon by the project owner and
will be archived as planned in the Monitoring Plan.
The net electricity fed to the grid by the project activity will be monitored in accordance with the approved
methodology.
The electricity generated by the project activity will be measured by two (a main and a back-up) Elster A
1500 meters10
. Elster A 1500 meters are in direct accord with the Decleration on Meters that are Used in
the Electricity Market11
that is announced by Electricity Market Regulatory Authority and the minimum
requirements that the electrical meters must satify which are stipulated by TEDAS12
. The meters are in
compliance with International Electrotechnical Commision13
standards and Turkish Standards Institution14
requirements. The meters are capable of measuring the active and reactive energy on buy and sell
aspects as well as they are qualified for advanced measuring of the power quality and saving historical
data. The meters are located in the İyidere substation, which is a separate building from the powerhouse.
The meters are locked and sealed preventing any external interference other than the distribution
company officials. The meters can determine the auxiliary consumption and display it on the same screen
as well as the gross production. The commands can be typed via different codes on the meter for
providing the metering results. The indexes are read by the operators of the control room on hourly basis,
recorded on the ‘daily meter operation fact sheet’ and archived. The monthly readings are done
electronically via RS485 port connected to the meter and the inventory obtained qua hourly energy supply
and draw as PMUM (Piyasa Mali Uzlastirma Merkezi – Market Financial Settlement Center)15
directs to.
The monthly reading procedure is executed and archived by the plant manager as well as it has been
stored on PMUM’s DGPYS system. The billing is performed by the distribution company, after the tenth
day of their meter reading. The electricity generation data is electronically mailed to TEDAS and TEIAS
within the first 3 days of each month. In case of a malfunction of a meter, the undefected one’s readings
are subject to determine the monthly index. In such cases, the person in charge of the distribution
company, is notified and the sealed and locked meters are opened in the presence of the representatives
from the official distribution company in order to determine and record the breakdown and the reason.
The official record of the electricity generation and the breakdown report in case of a malfunction will be
submitted to Borga Carbon Ltd., monthly.

MONITORING REPORT: VCS Version 3
v3.1 15
4.1 Baseline Emissions
İncirli HEPP project supplies electricity to the national grid via TEİAS under the national laws und
regulations and thus, the baseline scenario has been identified as "Electricity delivered to the grid by the
project would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the
addition of new generation sources" as reflected in the combined margin emission factor calculations
described in the "Tool to Calculate the Emission Factor for an Electricity System" (Ver. 02.2.1 EB 63).
The emission factor has been calculated using the same "Tool to Calculate the Emission Factor for an
Electricity System" Ver. 02.2.1, EB 63, valid from 29 September 2011. Since there is one intact national
grid in Turkey, the emission factor of the Turkish National Grid is calculated using a combined margin
(CM), where the Simple OM and BM are calculated ex-ante. For Simple OM calculations and BM data,
both national governmental sources and IPCC default values are used.
The Operating Margin (OM), Build Margin (BM) and the computed Combined Margin (CM) values used to
calculate the emission reductions of İncirli HEPP over the verification period are as follows;
Operating Margin Emission Factor ( EFgrid,OM,y) = 0.682 tCO2/MWh
Build Margin Emission Factor (EFgrid,BM,y) = 0.727 tCO2/MWh
Combined Margin Emission Factor (EFgrid,CM,y) = WOM x EFgrid,OM,y + WBM x EFgrid,BM,y = 0.704 tCO2/MWh.
4.2 Project Emissions
According to the consolidated methodoly ACM0002 “For most renewable power generation project
activities, PEy = 0. However, some project activities may involve project emissions that can be significant.
These emissions shall be accounted for as project emissions by using the following equation:”
PEy =PE FF,y ,+PE GP,y + PE HP,y
Where:
PE y = Project emissions in year y (tCO2e/yr)
PE FF,y = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y (tCO2/yr)
PE GP,y = Project emissions from the operation of geothermal power plants due to the release
of non-condensable gases in year y (tCO2e/yr)
PE HP,y = Project emissions from water reservoirs of hydro power plants in year y (tCO2e/yr)
Emissions from water reservoirs of hydro power plants (PE HP,y)
For hydro power project activities that result in new reservoirs and hydro power project activities that
result in the increase of existing reservoirs, project proponents shall account for CH4 and CO2 emissions
from the reservoir, estimated as follows:
(a) If the power density of the project activity (PD) is greater than 4 W/m2 and less than or equal to 10
W/m2:
MONITORING REPORT: VCS Version 3
v3.1 16
PEHP,y = EFRes x TEGy / 1000
Where:
PEHP,y = Project emissions from water reservoirs (tCO2e/yr)
EFRes = Default emission factor for emissions from reservoirs of hydro power plants in year y
(kgCO2e/MWh)
TEGy = Total electricity produced by the project activity, including the electricity supplied to
the grid and the electricity supplied to internal loads, in year y (MWh)
(b) If the power density of the project activity (PD) is greater than 10 W/m2:
PE HP,y = 0
The power density of the project activity (PD) is calculated as follows:
PD = CAPPJ – CAPBL / APJ - ABL
PD = Power density of the project activity (W/m2)
CapPJ = Installed capacity of the hydro power plant after the implementation of the project
activity (W)
CapBL = Installed capacity of the hydro power plant before the implementation of the project
activity (W). For new hydro power plants, this value is zero
APJ = Area of the reservoir measured in the surface of the water, after the implementation of
the project activity, when the reservoir is full (m2)
ABL = Area of the reservoir measured in the surface of the water, before the implementation
of the project activity, when the reservoir is full (m2). For new reservoirs, this value is zero and thus;
PEy = 0 ;
Fossil Fuel Combustion (PEFF,y)
PE FF,y = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y (tCO2/yr) is calculated according to the UNFCCC tool “Tool to calculate project or leakage CO
2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion”
(Ver.02)”
Where:
MONITORING REPORT: VCS Version 3
v3.1 17
PE Fc,j,y = Are the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in process j during the year y (tCO2/yr);
FC i,j,y = Is the quantity of fuel type i combusted in process j during the year y (mass or volume unit/yr);
COEF i,y = Is the CO2 emission coefficient of fuel type i in year y (tCO2/mass or volume unit)
i = Are the fuel types combusted in process j during the year y
Since the project activity is a hydro electrical power plant there is no use of any fuel tpe. Therefore FC i,j,y
= 0. Hence, project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y for all years of the project activity are
zero;
PE FF,y = 0
Emissions of non-condensable gases from the operation of geothermal power plants (PEGP,y)
PE GP,y is calculated as follows:
PE GP,y = ( W steam,CO 2,y + W steam,CH 4,y * GWP CH 4 ) * M steam,y
Where:
PEGP,y = Project emissions from the operation of geothermal power plants due to the release of non-
condensable gases in year y (tCO2e/yr)
Wstream,CO2,y = Average mass fraction of carbon dioxide in the produced steam in year y (tCO2/t steam)
Wstream,CH4,y = Average mass fraction of methane in the produced steam in year y (tCH4/t steam)
GWPCH4 = Global warming potential of methane valid for the relevant commitment period (tCO2e/tCH4)
Mstream,y = Quantity of steam produced in year y (t steam/yr)
The project activty does not involve any geothermal components hence;
PE GP,y = 0
The project emissions assessment concludes that the project emissions are zero.
4.3 Leakage
According to the methodology, leakage from related emission sources do not need to be considered, thus
leakage is zero.
Ly = 0

4.4 Summary of GHG Emission Reductions and Removals
Emission Reduction: The annual emission reductions of the İncirli HEPP project is calculated by using below equation ERy = BEy = EGBL,y x EFCO2 = 121,886.243x 0.704 = 85.807 tCO2e
