Resolution of Findings

Role of DOE

• Extended arm of UNFCCC• Evaluate implementation and monitoring of CPAs with registered

PoA-DD, Included CPA-DD & Monitoring Methodology • Systematically verify and certify the monitoring parameters and

calculation of GHG emission reduction • DOE participated in Validation of the CPA under PoA can not carry

out the verification.

Issues in CPA/PoA verification

• Complexity • Large size of data • Sampling methodology • Sampling by DOE during verification• In case problems detected during sample of samples • Non availability of standardized Monitoring Report template • High Risk for DOEs • Higher verification cost (Risk + Man-days)

Potential Issues in BLY CPA Verification

• Deviation from monitoring plan of PoA-DD / CPA-DD

• Accuracy of Ex post Survey Reports (Qpj & Failure rate)

• Calibration of monitoring/testing equipments • Detection of invalid meters/ replacement of meters• CFL disposal/Failure of CFL/ Breakage of CFL/ Replacement /shifting of CFLs to

another household• Awareness level in households• Data reliability/ Data Archiving• Internal Audit/Review

Some clarfications on related to PoA Verification

EB 60, Annex 26.• PoA can be amended post registration to include additional Host party –

Thus, International PoAs (PoAs spread over more than one nation) are allowed.

• Annex 66/67 not applicable to PoAs• Existing Procedures for seeking a Deviation / revision in MP are

applicable to PoAs as well.

EU-ETS clarification • PoAs registered in Non LDC countries, before 2013 under CDM, CPAs

included post 2012 are also eligible can indeed be used for EU compliance.
