E.8. Assessment of data and calculation of emission reductions or net removals
E.8.1. Calculation of baseline GHG emissions or baseline net GHG removals by sinks
Means of verification The calculation, applied formulae and the method for calculation of baseline emissions are in accordance with the registered PDD /18/ and are in line with the requirements of the applied methodology (ACM0002 Version 13.0.0 /16/). The formulae and the methods referred in the MR /02/ and the emission reduction calculation spread sheet/04/ for estimation of emission reduction complies with the corresponding formulae and methods in the registered PDD /18/. The ex-ante and validated fixed value of grid emission factor i.e. The combined margin of the emission factor, (0.5751 tCO2e/MWh, registered PDD /18/) is taken into account for the calculation of baseline emissions. The verification team has checked all the monthly electricity bills/protocol/10/ applicable for the WTGs and invoices/11/ applicable for the monitoring period and found all the parameters are monitored and recorded as per the monitoring plan in the registered PDD/18/. The verification team has crosschecked the CER sheet/04/ and monitoring report data with the monthly electricity bills/protocol/10/ applicable for the WTGs and invoices/11/ and found all the input values are matching. As per registered PDD /18/, the baseline emissions of the project is calculated from
net electricity supplied to grid (EGfacility,y) and combined margin emission factor of grid (EF) as follows:
Where EGfacility,y (EGPJ,y) = EGy, export – EGy,import
EGy, export = Electricity exported by the proposed project to the national grid.
EGy,import = Electricity imported from the grid by the proposed project
The electricity export and import values are verified from /10/ and found that the value considered for the ER calculation is correct. Also the Electricity exported and imported to grid are cross verified from the monthly invoices /11/. The calculation is provided in the emission reduction calculation sheet. The ER sheet is verified and found that the calculation of EGPJ,y is correct.

Conclusion N/A
E.8.4. Summary of calculation of GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG
removals by sinks
Means of verification As per registered PDD/18/, the emission reductions ERy by the project activity during the monitoring period is equal to the baseline emission less project emission and leakage emission.
ERy = BEy – PEy – Ly Since project emission and lekage are zero ERy = BEy = 119,120 tCO2 The calculation provided in the ER sheet and MR was assessed appropriate by the verification team. The verification team confirms that a complete set of data for this monitoring period is available to verify the emission reduction calculation, and the same was found in accordance with the registered PDD/18/. No lack of evidence and missing data were detected during this monitoring period. All values as per the monitoring plan were crosschecked by the verification team against basic monitored data and the calculations were found to be correct. The verification team confirms that the emission reductions are real and measurable.

The data will be kept for the whole crediting period and 2 years after the last crediting period thereby meeting the requirement of the PDD. The verification team has checked and confirms that all the meters are calibrated. Thus conclude no material risks in the claimed emission reduction for the applied period
Findings No finding has been raised.
Conclusion Verification team concludes that the calculation provided in the monitoring report /02/, and emission reduction spread sheet/04/ are complete and reflect all the requirements of the monitoring plan/18/ and:
a) All the monitored data as required by the registered monitoring plan /18/ was available to PP, the same has been verified by the verification team.
b) Formula used for the baseline was in line to the registered monitored plan/18/.
c) The ex-ante emission factors correctly sourced from the registered PDD /18/ and was found to be appropriate and justified.
E.8.5. Comparison of actual GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG removals
by sinks with estimates in registered PDD

Reduction as per
Registered/Approved PDD:
235,536 tCO2e /18/
Actual Emission
Reduction for the
Monitoring Period
119,120 tCO2e/02/
In summary, verification team confirms that the actual emission reduction is lower than the estimate of the registered PDD /18/ for the current monitoring period.
Findings No finding has been raised.
Conclusion In summary, verification team confirms that the actual emission reduction is lower than the estimate of the registered PDD /18/ for the current monitoring period. Verification team confirms that the comparison for the estimated and actual emission reduction for this monitoring period is correctly calculated and reported.
E.8.6. Remarks on difference from estimated value in registered PDD
Means of verification The actual emission reductions are lower than the estimated emission reductions based on the registered PDD /18/.
Findings No finding has been raised.
Conclusion The ERs achieved during the monitoring period are lower by 49.43% than the ERs estimated in the registered PDD /18/. There are multiple reason for the lower emission reduction for this monitoring period as discussed with PP and found OK: 1. The plant started operation in the order of turbine by turbine. Therefore, the installed capacity is only gradually reached. 2. Further as per the discussion with the PP, electricity generation was lower during the monitoring period due to lower wind etc. which is not under the control of PP. Hence the same is accepted. Therefore, the relatively lower performance of the project activity is not considered to be as a result of any change from the activity as described in the registered PDD/18/. The situation is considered as reasonable by the verification team.
E.8.7. Actual GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG removals by sinks
during the first commitment period and the period from 1 January 2013 onwards
Means of verification The complete monitoring period falls after 01 January 2013 and therefore the total ERs during the monitoring period i.e. 01/04/2016 to 30/06/2017 pertains to the 2
nd
commitment period. Total 119,120 tCO2e CERs verified during this monitoring

According to the “Turbine completion certificate”, the turbine mechanical completion date is 27/07/2016 while the turbine completion certificate was however signed on 01/08/2016 after “the Field Commissioning and Acceptance Test and the Unit Reliability Run have been successfully completed and the Turbine is producing electricity with established SCADA connectivity”. The commercial operation date is however not based on such “Turbine completion certificate”. It is based on the agreement between EVN and the Project Owner which severs as the basis for electricity invoicing. According to official document No. 3462/EPTC-P5 of EVN dated 04 November 2016 on agreement of the Commercial operation date of the turbines of Bac Lieu Wind Power Plant Phase 2 (52 turbines), the commercial operation date of Turbine 52 is 31/07/2016.
