1. PROJECT DETAILS

1.1 Summary Description of the Project

Sarıgüzel Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plants (HEPPs) are located in Kahramanmaraş Province, Ilıca Town on Ceyhan River. The project will be used only for energy generation purpose and has an Energy Generation License for 49 years obtained from Electricity Market Regulation Authority (EMRA) in 09/03/2006. The projects will be implemented under Kandil project group which also includes Dagdelen Weir and HEPP, Kandil Dam and HEPP, Hacınınoğlu Weir and HEPP. The project group was developed by General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works in 1966, including Kandil Dam and two other power plants developed downstream with a gross head of 507.70 meters. However, the master plan has been revised and locations, elevations and installed capacities of all projects have changed in March 2004. The feasibility report was updated in November 2007 and the construction of the projects has begun. During the optimization of energy generation without increasing the head of Kandil Dam and HEPP project, tail water level has been raised to 868.0 m from 860.0 m during 2010. This also dropped the operational water level of Sarıgüzel Dam and HEPPs and therefore the installed capacity from 100 MW to 95.4 MW as well. The design of the group of hydropower plants were finalized on November 2010 with a revised feasibility study. The project design has been reviewed and finalized with minor technical changes in June 2011. There are two hydroelectric power plants in the proposed project:

• Sarıgüzel Hydroelectric Power Plant (Sarıgüzel HEPP) • Sarıgüzel-1 Hydroelectric Power Plant (Sarıgüzel HEPP-1)

Within Sarıgüzel HEPP, a dam body, upstream cofferdam, spillway, derivation conduit, energy tunnel, surge chamber, penstock, powerhouse, service roads and a transmission line will be constructed. The water stored in the dam will be fed to the power house via 5,457.23 m length energy tunnel. The derivation conduit will be built as two sections, one of them providing 5.40 m3/sec water flow required for the aquatic life downstream. That water flow will be carried to Sarıgüzel 1 HEPP via penstock for electricity generation before released to water body. The installed capacity for Sarıgüzel HEPP will be 98.88 MWe which will be provided by two vertical axis francis turbines each having a capacity of 49.44 MWe. The average annual energy generation is estimated to be 281.191GWh. The net head is 109.11m and the project flow rate is 101 m3/sec. The surface area and volume of the dam reservoir will be 1.889 km2 and 47.45 hm3, respectively. Sarıgüzel-1 HEPP will have an installed capacity of 3.66 MWe and an average annual electricity generation of 30.572 GWh. The net head is 74.73 m and 5.40 m3/sec. There will be one horizontal axis francis turbine in the power plant. Power to be generated by Sarıgüzel HEPP will be transferred to Kandil Dam and HEPP upstream and Hacınınoğlu HEPP downstream. Two transmission lines will be built: (1) 154 kV, 12.50 km length, connected to Kandil HEPP switchyard, (2) 154 kV, 9.50 km length, connected to Hacınınoğlu HEPP switchyard. Sarıgüzel-1 HEPP will be connected to Sarıgüzel HEPP switchyard via 34.5kV line, 4.00 km length. The time schedule for the Projects is explained in Table.1. below:

Sarıgüzel HEPP and Sarıgüzel-1 HEPP will generate 281,191 MWh and 30,572 MWh respectively on annual basis. This will replace the same amount of electricity generated by the grid and provide a reduction 185,811 tonnes of CO2eq. The Projects contribute to the sustainable development of the country by increasing generating electricity from renewable resources. The existing electricity grid system mostly relies on imported natural gas resources and that has been a financial burden for economical development of the country. The total hydropower capacity production of 35,958.4 GWh has been realized in 2009, which is only 18.46% of total electricity generation1. The project will utilize hydro power capacity for electricity generation and increase the share of renewable energy resources in electricity generation. It will also encourage other investors to construct hydro power generating units. Being a renewable energy project, the Projects will contribute to emission reductions and will replace the same amount of CO2 emissions which would have been caused by fossil fired power plants. The Projects will also create direct and indirect employment and intangible benefits in the region. Local unskilled workers will develop additional professional abilities, such as welding, plumbing, electrical and mechanical erection works etc. Those workers do not have any experience and will be trained. They will also get certificates as a pre-requisite for the construction workers and will be able to find job in that sector. Temporary jobs will be available for the local people living in the nearest village to the project site, namely Sarıgüzel, Hacınınoğlu and Kertmen villages. Approximately 200 workers will be hired during construction phase and 5-10 employees will be working permanently in the power plant. The materials have been purchased from local market providing an income for the community and enlivening the local economy as well. In addition to those benefits, access roads will be remedied which will ease the transportation in the region. Approximately 21 kms of the road will be renewed during the construction phase. A total of 8,000 m pipeline for the water supply of Hacınınoğlu Village has been constructed by the company. The villagers worked for the company during the completion of the piping. The primary school buildings in Demirlik Village and Kürtül Village are renewed and another one is rebuilt. Stationery sets, including primer, notebook, eraser, pencil sets and sharper, have been distributed to the students in the primary schools in the region (Figure.1).

Sarıgüzel-1 HEPP: Through a penstock with 1.20-1.50 m diameter, built inside the derivation tunnel, the water will be carried to powerhouse and turbinated for electricity generation. The installed capacity will be 3.66 MWe with a constant flow rate of 5.40 m3/sec. The annual electricity generation is estimated to be 30.572 GWh. The origin of technology is Czech Republic. Switchyard and Transmission of electricity: An open switchyard with 154 kV capacity will be placed nearby the power house of Sarıgüzel HEPP. The electricity will be transferred to Kandil HEPP via 12.50 km line and to Hacınınoglu HEPP via 9.50 km line and then fed to the grid by the nearest substations. Access roads: The project site is accessed by Kahramanmaraş-Göksun motorway. At the 45th km of the motorway there is 26 km access road to Ilıca Town and then 23 km road to Hacınınoğlu Village. In addition, 4 km of the existing road will be remedied, 2 km of new road will be constructed and 2 km of road will be relocated in the context of the project. The impact of Kandil Energy Group Projects on the existing and planned dams and hydropower plants upstream and downstream are evaluated during the feasibility studies. There are 3 hydropower plants operational on Ceyhan River in the region. The greatest one is Menzelet Dam and Hydropower Plant which was operational in 1992, with an installed capacity of 124 MW and 515 GWh annual average electricity generation. Sır Dam and Hydropower Plant was operational in 1991 and generates 725 GWh electricity annually. The third one, Ceylan Hydropower Plant is the oldest plant in the region and operational since 1958. Klavuzlu Dam and Hydropower Plant is under construction and will generate 100 GWh electricity with an installed capacity of 50 MW. The dam will also serve the irrigation of 96,963 ha. agricultural land and supply cooling water to Afşin-Elbistan Thermal Power Plant. Adatepe Dam is also under construction and will serve the irrigation of 44,030 ha. agricultural land. The water requirements of all those structures operational and under construction have been calculated. The planned dams and hydropower plants are also taken into consideration during the optimization of electricity generation of Kandil Energy Group Projects. The environmental flow required for the aquatic life for each project in the group are calculated and added to the total water requirement of the development. According to the methodology applied, the baseline scenario for the installation of a new grid-connected renewable power plant is defined as: “Electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity 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 (CM) calculations described in the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system”. The project generates electricity from renewable resources and therefore replaces electricity which would be generated by Turkish grid dominated with fossil fired power plants. 1.9 Project Location

The Project is located on the Ceyhan River in the Upper Ceyhan Basin within the boundaries of Kahramanmaraş Province in the Eastern Region of Turkey. The nearest residential areas are Sarıgüzel Village, Hacınınoğlu Village and Demirlik Village in Ilıca Town (Figure.3).

2 APPLICATION OF METHODOLOGY

2.1 Title and Reference of Methodology

The emission reductions of the Project have been calculated in accordance with the approved large scale CDM-methodology ACM0002 .: “Consolidated methodology for grid connected electricity generation from renewable sources”, version 12.2.09. The methodology refers to the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system”, version.2.2.1 for baseline calculations. The tool offers two options of which the Combined Margin (CM) approach has been chosen. The CM consists of the combination of operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) according to the procedures prescribed in the above-mentioned tool. For the demonstration of additionality, “Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality”, version 6.0.06.0.0 has been implemented. The methodology also refers to the following two tools:

• “Combined tool to identify the baseline scenario and demonstrate additionality” which is only applicable if the potential alternative scenarios to the proposed project activity available to project participants cannot be implemented in parallel to the proposed project activity. Therefore, the tool is not applicable to the proposed projects.

• “Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion” which is applicable

to geothermal and solar thermal projects, which also use fossil fuels for electricity generation for the calculation of Fossil Fuel Combustion (PEFF,y), described in page 6/20 of the methodology. As the projects are not geothermal or solar thermal projects, the tool is not applicable.

2.2 Applicability of Methodology

The choice of large scale CDM methodology ACM0002, version 12.2.0 has been justified through the applicability criteria listed below: Applicability Criteria Justification • This methodology is applicable to grid-connected renewable power generation project activities that (a) install a new power plant at a site where no renewable power plant was operated prior to the implementation of the project activity (greenfield plant); (b) involve a capacity addition; (c) involve a retrofit of (an) existing plant(s); or (d) involve a replacement of (an) existing plant(s).

The projects are grid-connected renewable power generation projects which install a new power plants at a site where no renewable power plant was operated prior to the implementation of the project activity (Greenfield plant).

• The project activity is the installation, capacity addition, retrofit or replacement of a power plant/unit of one of the following types: hydro power plant/unit (either with a run-of-river reservoir or an accumulation reservoir), wind power plant/unit, geothermal power plant/unit, solar power plant/unit, wave power plant/unit or tidal power plant/unit;

The projects are installation of hydro power plants with an accumulation reservoir.

2.4 Baseline Scenario

The baseline scenario has been developed by the assumption that the energy generation profile of the country will not change and the weight of fossil fired power plants will remain the same during the crediting period. The electricity generation is mainly done by fossil fuel fired power plants in Turkey. The share of resources in the electricity generation in Turkey has been shown in the Figure.5. 80.3% of the total electricity generation delivered by fossil fired power plants, i.e. natural gas, lignite, hard coal, imported coal and liquid fuels10. The contribution to annual electricity generation form hydraulic resources was only 18.5%.

Figure.5. The share of resources for electricity generation. It is assumed that the energy generation profile of the country will not change and the weight of fossil fired power plants will remain the same during the crediting period. This assumption is based on the analysis presented in the First National Communication11 submitted by Turkey. The share of resources in generating capacity between 2005-2020 is shown in Figure.6.

The baseline scenario is the same amount of electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources.

Figure.6. Electricity Generation Forecast (2005-2020)

Power generation has been the greatest contributor source to GHG emissions with a share of 76.7% in 2004 as stated in the First Communication of Turkey on Climate Change (pg:243, Annex.4). The continued reliance on fossil fuels in the power sector will give rise to emissions in the following years. The power sector sourced GHG emission is expected to rise 7.1% every year during 2003-2020. 2.5 Additionality

“Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality” version 6.0.0 has been implemented to the Project. Step 1- Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with current laws and regulations Sub-step 1a: Define alternatives to the project activity: The project owner is a well-known company in the power sector and active in generation, wholesale and trading and distribution of electricity. The company has established four natural gas power plants with a total installed capacity of 1,385 MW. Five hydropower plants with a total installed capacity of 227 MW and a wind power plant with 30 MW capacity are operational12. The alternatives are defined related to the investor as per footnote 4 of the version 6.0.0 of the additionality tool13: 1) The project activity taken without VER: The investment is not financially attractive and comprises potential risks as described below. Therefore, this alternative is not realistic. 2) Building a new power plant utilizing other renewable resource: The Electricity Market License Regulation gives priority to local resources with low environmental impact to generate electricity14 and therefore other renewable resources are considered as alternatives to the proposed project.

12 http://www.enerjisa.com.tr/en/ 13 As per footnote 4 of the version 6.0.0 of the additionality tool 14 Sub-clause (5) of Article.9 (http://www.epdk.gov.tr/mevzuat/yonetmelik/elektrik/lisans/lyson.doc)

Figure.7. below shows the wind power capacity of Kahramanmaraş Province. The speed of the wind should over 7 m/sec for an economically feasible power generation and the regions with gray colour are not eligible for power generation. Therefore wind power plant is not alternative for the proposed project (Figure.7.)15. Geothermal resources eligible for electricity generation are located on the West of the country and there are three power plants operational in that region. Using solar power or biomass for electricity generation is still in the infancy state in Turkey. There are no solar or biomass power plants in Turkey16 due to insufficient incentives. Therefore, utilizing other renewable resources is not a realistic and credible alternative scenario to the proposed project activity.

Figure.7. Eligibility of Kahramanmaraş province for wind power. 3) No activity: In case no project activity is taken, the same amount of electricity will be generated by the existing grid to supply the increasing demand of the country. This alternative is the same as baseline scenario, which is described above as electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources. Outcome of Step 1a) The only realistic and credible scenario is that the same amount of electricity will be generated by the existing grid, which is the same as baseline scenario. Sub-step 1b: Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations: All alternatives to the project activity are in compliance with the existing laws and regulations which are described above in Table.2., section 1.10. Outcome of Step1b: The only realistic scenario is the supply of same amount of electricity from the existing grid, which is in compliance with the laws and regulations. Step 2 - Investment analysis The investment analysis below aims to show that “the proposed project activity is not (a) the most economically and financially attractive”. Sub-step 2a - Determine appropriate analysis method (1)There are three options for investment analysis method: • Simple Cost Analysis • Investment Comparison Analysis and • Benchmark Analysis

The investment decision was taken on the 16.04.2008. Therefore, the interest rate for April is taken as the benchmark, which is 19.0%.

2) Weighted Average Cost of Capital, WACC The second alternative for benchmark is advised to be WACC for project IRR as stated in the referenced tool. The expected return on capital should be higher than the cost of capital for an investment to be worthwhile. The cost of capital is the rate of return that capital could be expected to earn in an alternative investment of equivalent risk. If a project is of similar risk to a company's average business activities it is reasonable to use the company's average cost of capital as a basis for the evaluation. A company's securities typically include both debt and equity, one must therefore calculate both the cost of debt and the cost of equity to determine a company's cost of capital. Calculation of Cost of Equity: In order to calculate the cost of equity, the approach presented in the paper “Estimating equity Risk Premiums” by Prof. Damodaran is taken20. He is a Professor of Finance at the Stern School of Business at Newyork University and well known as author of several widely used academic and practitioner texts on Valuation, Corporate Finance and Investment Management. Most of the parameter used in calculations are taken from the data presented in his web site. Since the private sector inclusion to the energy market is in a very early stage in Turkey, compared to mature markets in other countries, we assume that all companies investing an emerging market would be equally exposed to country risk. The following formula is used for expected cost of equity: Expected cost of Equity=Risk free rate + β*( Country Risk) + Equity Market Risk

1) Choice of Risk free rate: It is stated in the referenced paper that the risk free rate chosen should match up with the duration of the cashflows being discounted and long-term default free government bond rate are generally preferred in corporate finance and valuation. Therefore,the risk free rate is taken from the lowest yielding bonds in the particular market, i.e. government bonds. The rate of Eurobond US900123AL40 with a due date 15.01.2030 has been chosen as the duration of the cash flow is 20 years. The rate on 16/04/2008 has been taken as the risk free rate.

2) Choice of beta: The beta value for Turkish electiricty market is available from Bloomberg data. The Electricity Index value for 2008 is used.

3) Choice of Country Risk and Equity Market Risk:

One of the simplest and most easily accessible measure of the country risk is the rating assigned to a country’s debt by a ratings agency. These rating measure default risk but they are affected by many of the factors that drive equity risk. The country risk for Turkey has been taken from updated data in 2008 by Prof. Damodoran. The equity market risk for US, including average of historical spreads over 5 years has been used from the same data sheet. The following parameters are used for calculation: Parameter Value Source Risk free rate 7.22% Ziraat Bank, Long term Eurobond rate,

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) before taxation for the project is calculated as 11.38% without the ER revenue. That is much lower than expected interest rates in Table.6. As a result, the revenue acquired from the operation of the power plant is not financially attractive to do the investment. Sub-step 2d - Sensitivity Analysis The sensitivity analysis is applied to variables that constitute of the total investment cost in order to show that investment decision is not the most attractive alternative financially. Operation and maintanance cost is 1% of the the total investment cost, the electricity revenue is 14% of the investment cost. Therefore only investment cost is taken into account in the sensitivity analysis and the change in electricity revenue is discussed for the avoidance of the doubt. For a range of ±10% fluctuations in parameters above, Table.8. below have been obtained.

The investment cost and operational cost have risen by more than 50% in return of the increased electricity generation and revenue. Therefore, decrease in investment cost or operational cost could not be expected. The exchange rate has fallen but the IRR of the project drops to 8.9% in the final case. The change in the electricity price was not expected by the time of the project decision taking phase. Renewable Energy Law limits the price of electricity generated by renewable resources from a minimum 5 Eurocents to maximum 5.5 Eurocenst per kWh with a purchase guarantee of maximum 10 years. The law came into force recently in 2005. A revision made to the law in January 2011 but the price offered for hydropower plants did not change. It is now 7.3 USDcents/kWh, which is roughly equal to 5.5 EURcents. The electricity price should be 8.4 USDcent/kWh (15% higher) to hit the benchmark of 13.30%; which is not unlikely under those circumstances. Outcome of Step 2: The proposed project is unlikely to be financially attractive. Step 3: Barrier analysis This step is not implemented for the project. Step 4: Common practice analysis Sub-step 4a.

Companies TOTAL 14,553.4MW 100%

Remaining is owned by auto producers and transfer of operational right power plants (TOR) and Built, Operate and Transfer power plants. TOR power plants are built by public and transferred to private sector after commissioning. Built, Operate and Transfer model was implemented in 1980s and provided financial incentives for the private sector:

o Energy Fund was established by the government in order to subsidise the financial difficulties faced by the companies. o Guarantee Contract was signed between the Under-secretariat of Treasury and the investment companies on the terms that the electricity will be purchased by Treasury in case the producer could not sell it to any governmental institution. o Those purchase contracts may be up to 99 years for BOTs and 20 years for BOs29.

Under the new Electricity Market Law that came in force in 2001, the investment models were removed and the Energy Fund was ended. The list of hydropower plants built by private sector after 2001 is given in Annex.4. As it could be seen from the list given, almost half (37 out of 79) of the hydropower plants are mini sized (1-10 MWs). The installed capacity for the rest of hydropower plants, except Akköy-1 HEPP (101.94 MW) and Uzunçayır HEPP (74 MW) changes between 10-50 MWs. Hydropower plants in Turkey are classified as follows30:

a) Large Hydropower Plants with installed capacity over 50 MWs, b) Small Hydropower Plants with installed capacity between 10-50 MW, c) Mini Hydropower Plants with installed capacity between 101 kW-10,000kW, d) Micro Hydropower Plants with installed capacity between 200 W- 100 kW.

For the purpose of common practice analysis, large hydro power plants with capacities higher than 50 MWs in the country are assessed. The power plants developed by private sector are taken into consideration to evaluate a comparable environment with respect to regulatory framework, investment climate, access to technology, access to finance.

This means more sale revenues in return of the investment done per MW and will make this project financially more attractive than the proposed one. Sub-step 4b.

In one hand, privately owned hydroelectric power plants comprise 9.1% of the total hydro power capacity in Turkey. 37 of those hydropower plants have installed capacity below 10 MW, 40 of them ranges between 10-50 MW and 1 has 110.9 MW anad another has 97 MW but registered as VCS. The only project comparable to the proposed project is found to be Akkoy-1 HEPP which has higher load factor and therefore higher electricity revenue in return of the investment done per MW compared to the Projects. This makes the investment more financially risky than the other projects implemented in the country. On the other hand, the Projects are located in a disadvantaged region where the construction works take longer time and higher investment. The commissioning date of the plant is estimated to be after 4 years the construction started; which was assumed as 3 years in the Feasibility Report dated November 2007 at the time of decision making (page 1-14) Outcome of Step4 : Sarıgüzel Dam and HEPPs are not a common practice in the country as well as in the region. 2.6 Methodology Deviations

The methodology deviation proposed for China and accepted by the Executive Board32 is used for the calculation of Build Margin. Please see step.5 and 6 below.

3 QUANTIFICATION OF GHG EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND REMOVALS

3.1 Baseline Emissions

The baseline emissions are the product of electrical energy baseline EGBL, y expressed in MWh of electricity produced by the renewable generating unit multiplied by the grid emission factor: BEy=EGBL,y*EFCO2,grid,y where : EFCO2,grid,y : CO2 emission factor of the grid connected power generation in year y (tCO2/MWh) EGBL,y : Quantity of net electricity supplied to the grid as a result of the implementation of the CDM

project activity in year y (MWh) The Emission Factor can be calculated in a transparent and conservative manner as follows: (a) A combined margin (CM), consisting of the combination of operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) according to the procedures prescribed in the ‘Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system’(version 2.2.1). OR (b) The weighted average emissions (in kg CO2/kWh) of the current generation mix. The data of the year in which project generation occurs must be used. The data on the current generation mix is not available; therefore method (a) is adopted to calculate the combined margin emission factor. The emission factors are calculated as described in the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system” (version 2.2.1) as following seven steps: 32 http://cdm.unfccc.int/UserManagement/FileStorage/AM_CLAR_QEJWJEF3CFBP1OZAK6V5YXPQKK7WYJ

Step 1. Identify the relevant electricity systems The proposed project is connected to the national grid, so the project electricity system is the national grid which includes the project site and all power plants physically connected to the grid. Each power plant can be dispatched without significant transmission constraints from the central grid (Figure.10).

Figure.10. Interconnected national grid of Turkey33 There is no electricity import from another power grid within the same host country and electricity exports are not subtracted from electricity generation data used for calculating and monitoring the electricity emission factors. Step 2: Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional) Project participants may choose between the following two options to calculate the operating margin and build margin emission factor: Option I: Only grid power plants are included in the calculation. Option II: Both grid power plants and off-grid power plants are included in the calculation. Option I is chosen. Step 3. Select an operating margin (OM) method The calculation of the operating margin emission factor (EF grid,OM,y ) is based on one of the following methods: (a) Simple OM, or (b) Simple adjusted OM, or (c) Dispatch Data Analysis OM, or (d) Average OM The data specific to the power plants connected to the grid, such as the dispatch order for each power plant in the system and the amount of power dispatched from all plants in the system during each hour, are not available. Therefore, Simple OM has been selected as the methodology. The Simple OM method (a) can only be used if low-cost/must run resources constitute less than 50% of total grid generation in: 1) average of the five most recent years, or

2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity production. There is no nuclear plant in Turkey and hydro, wind and geothermal facilities are only renewable sources utilized for electricity. There is no indication that the coal fired power plants are accepted as the low cost /must run. Table.12. below shows the share of hydro and renewable resources in electricity generation for the five most recent years (2005-2009) and it is below 50% of the total grid generation. Table.12. Share of primary sources in electricity generation, 2005 – 200934

2009 156,923.4 80.5 35,958.4 18.5 1,931.1 1 194,812.9

The Simple OM can be calculated using either of the two following data vintages for year(s) y: • Ex ante option: If the ex ante option is chosen, the emission factor is determined once at the validation stage, thus no monitoring and recalculation of the emissions factor during the crediting period is required. For grid power plants, use a 3-year generation-weighted average, based on the most recent data available at the time of submission of the CDM-PDD to the DOE for validation. • Ex post option: The year in which the project activity displaces grid electricity, requiring the emissions factor to be updated annually during monitoring. If the data required calculating the emission factor for year y is usually only available later than six months after the end of year y,alternatively the emission factor of the previous year (y-1) may be used. If the data is usually only available 18 months after the end of year y, the emission factor of the year proceeding the previous year (y-2) may be used. The same data vintage (y, y-1 or y-2) should be used throughout all crediting periods.

Based on the most recent data available, ex- ante option is chosen. Step 4. Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method There are two options calculating the Simple OM emission factor (EF grid,OMsimple,y ): Option A: Based on the net electricity generation and a CO2 emission factor of each power unit; or Option B: Based on the total net electricity generation of all power plants serving the system and the fuel types and total fuel consumption of the project electricity system. Option B can only be used if: (a) The necessary data for Option A is not available; and (b) Only nuclear and renewable power generation are considered as low-cost/must-run power sources and the quantity of electricity supplied to the grid by these sources is known; and (c) Off-grid power plants are not included in the calculation. As the data on each power plant/unit is not publicly available and and renewable power generation are considered as low-cost/must-run power sources, Option B is selected. Off-grid power plants are not included in the calculations.

Step 5: Identify the group of power units to be included in the build margin

1) Identification of the available data The sample group of power units m used to calculate the build margin consists of either: a) The set of five power units that have been built most recently, or b) The set of power capacity additions in the electricity system that comprise 20% of the system generation (in MWh) and that have been built most recently. There is not sufficient data available about the power plants built most recently. Annual capacity addition are reported as whole sum of thermal, geothermal+wind and hydro power in MWs with estimated annual electricity generation for the recent three years (200735, 200836 and 200937) but no plant based information on the net electricity generated for operating years is available. The deficiency in the data has been eliminated by a methodology deviation, that has been proposed for China and accepted by the Executive Board38. As Executive Board accepted the following deviations:

1. Use of capacity additions during last 1~3 years for estimating the build margin emission factor for grid electricity;

2. Use of weights estimated using installed capacity in place of annual electricity generation. The Board suggest the following when applying the deviation:

• Use of efficiency level of the best technology commercially available in the provincial/regional or national grid of China, as a conservative proxy, for each fuel type in estimating the fuel consumption to estimate the build margin (BM)

The tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system states to select either the 5 most recent power units or the units that comprise at least 20% of the system generation, excluding registered CDM

projects. As the use of weights estimated using installed capacity in place of annual electricity generation will be implemented, 20% of the total installed power units in 2009 will be included in BM calculations.

2) Exclusion of the registered VER projects As per the tool, the projects registered as voluntary emission reduction are excluded from the group of projects: “Power plant registered as CDM project activities should be excluded from the sample group m.” The following projects, operational between 2006-2009, are excluded from the list: Table.13.

As per the suggestion of the Board to use of efficiency level of the best technology commercially available, proportional weights that correlate to the distribution of installed capacity in place during the selected period above should be applied. The efficiency data for power plants are not available for best practice technologies utilized in Turkey. However, efficiency for each fuel type could be calculated directly from Heating Values given for each fossil fuel type (i) in each year (y) divided by the Electricity Generated by that type of fuel-fired power plants in that year:

The efficiencies of each fossil fuel type for each year in the period of 2002-2009 have been calculated and the maximum value for each fossil fuel type is used.

4) Determining the vintage

In terms of vintage, there two options defined: Option 1: For the first crediting period, calculate the build margin emission factor ex ante based on the most recent information available on units already built for sample group m at the time of CDM-PDD submission to the DOE for validation. For the second crediting period, the build margin emission factor should be updated based on the most recent information available on units already built at the time of submission of the request for renewal of the crediting period to the DOE. For the third crediting period, the build margin emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be used. This option does not require monitoring the emission factor during the crediting period. Option 2: For the first crediting period, the build margin emission factor shall be updated annually, ex post, including those units built up to the year of registration of the project activity or, if information up to the year of registration is not yet available, including those units built up to the latest year for which information is available. For the second crediting period, the build margin emissions factor shall be calculated ex ante, as described in Option 1 above. For the third crediting period, the build margin emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be used. Option 1 is selected for the data vintage. STEP 6. Calculate the build margin emission factor. The build margin emission factor is the generation-weigthed average emission factor (tCO2/MWh) of all power units m during the most recent year y for which power generation data is available, calculated as follows:

CAPm,y: Incrementally installed capacity of power unit m in year y. The generation capacities for coal-fired, oil-fired and gas- fired technology are available for the calculation. However; there are multi-fuel fired capacity additions utilizing solid+liquid fuel or liquid+natural gas fuel mixtures. Therefore; first the fuel consumption data are used to calculate the proportion of CO2 emissions from each fossil fuel type. Second, the emission factors for the best commercially available technology of power generation for each fossil fuel are calculated. Third, the emission factor for thermal power is calculated as a weighted average of all emission factors calculated in the Step 1. Finally, this thermal emission factor is multiplied by the proportion of thermal power added capacity in the additional 20% capacity. Sub-step 6(a) Calculate the percentages of CO2 emissions from each type of fossil fuel-fired power plants in total CO2 emissions from all thermal power plants.

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. The power density of the proposed project is 101.91 x106W/1,889,000 m2= 54 W/ m2. The referred methodology the project emissions for hydro power plants with a power density greater than 10 W/m2 is taken as zero. 3.3 Leakage

According to the ACM0002 version 12.2.0, leakage should be considered if the energy generating equipment is transferred from another activity. The proposed project is a new power plant and therefore the leakage is taken as zero. 3.4 Summary of GHG Emission Reductions and Removals

Calculation of Operating Margin The following data are available on the Turkish Electricity Transmission Company (TEĐAŞ) web site: • Annual fuel consumption by fuel type (tons or m3)39, • Annual heating values for fuels consumed for electricity generation (Tcal)40 • Annual electricity generation by fuel type, import and export (GWh)41 Annual heating values for each fuel type are directly related with the fuel consumption and are used to calculate Net Calorific Values (TJ/kt) for each year (Table.14). The annual heating values are converted to TJ and divided by the fossil fuel consumption for that year. Table.14. Net Calorific Values for each fuel type for Turkey. Fuel Type NCV

Net electricity generated and supplied to the grid by thermal plants has been calculated using data obtained from the TEĐAŞ web page43. The ratio between gross and net generation has been calculated first, and assuming that the same ratio is valid for thermal plants; gross generation by thermal power plants has been multiplied by this ratio in order to find net generation by thermal plants. Summing up this with the imported electricity, total supply excluding low cost / must run sources are determined as given in Table.16. below.

Finally, using the data tabulated in the previous two tables, the OM emission factor considering years 2007 -2009 has been calculated as generation weighted average from equation for OM above;

EFgrid, OMsimple, y = 0, 659 tCO2/ MWh The Operating Margin emission factor calculated above will be constant throughout the 7 years crediting period. Calculation of Build Margin Sub-step 6(a) Calculate the percentages of CO2 emissions from each type of fossil fuel-fired power plants in total CO2 emissions from all thermal power plants. The annual fuel consumption data for each fuel type for 2003-2009 are gathered from TEIAS web page. Net calorific value (in TJ/kt) are calculated as described above for the same period. The lower values for CO2 emission coefficient (tCO2/TJ) from IPCC 2006 guidelines for GHG inventories have been used. The following ratios have been obtained:

EF Thermal is calculated as 0.674 tCO2/MWh Sub-step 6(c) Calculating Build Margin Emission Factor The Build Margin has been calculated as 0.533 tCO2/MWh. Calculation of the Combined Margin EFgrid, CM, y = 0.5 * 0.659 + 0.5 * 0.533 = 0.596 The combined margin emission factor is therefore 0.596 tCO2/MWh, which will be used as the baseline factor in calculation of emission reduction by project activity. Please see the detailed data for emission reduction calculations in Annex.1. Quantifying GHG emissions and/or removals for the project: According to ACM0002 version 12.2.0, leakage emission only have to be considered if the energy generating equipment is transferred from another activity or if the existing equipment is transferred to another activity. Since this is not the case, leakage is thus considered as null: LEy= 0. The Project Emissions have to be considered in the case of the power density of the hydro power plant is between 4 W/m2 and 10W/m2. Provided that the power density of the project is 54 W/ m2, Project Emissions are: PEy= 0.

Thus: PEy+LEy = 0. Emission reduction (ERy) by the proposed project activity is calculated for the first crediting period of ten years by the following formula:

Where: ERy: Emission reductions achieved by the project activity in year y (tCO2e). BEy: Baseline Emission in year y (tCO2e). PEy: Project Emission in year y (tCO2e). LEy: Leakage Emissions in year y (tCO2e). ERy= (281,191 MWh * 0.596) +(30,572*0.596)-(0+0) = 167,590 + 18,221 =185,811 tCO2 The total emission reduction will be 185,811 tCO2

• Maintenance Leader reports to the Maintenance Responsible.

The Project Owner will be responsible for the overall management of the monitoring procedures including recording, data collection, calculating emission reductions and project emissions. Monthly power meter readings will be basis for monitoring net electricity fed into the grid. Those readings are done by governmental officers (Turkish Electricity Transmission Company-TEIAS) accompanied with an observer from the project owner company at the end of each month. A report is prepared including day, peak and night hour electricity generation of the plant and signed and approved by both parties. The gross electricity generated and internal consumption by the proposed project will be monitored and recorded hourly by the internal Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA). The gross electricity generated does not comprise the energy losses through transformer before electricity fed into the national grid. Therefore, subtracting the internal consumption from the gross generation the project owner will cross-check the data presented in the monthly power meter reading reports. Data Management and Quality Control Two power meters will be installed at the grid interface of the proposed project. One will be the main meter and the other will be back-up meter of the main meter for cross-checking. Both meters are jointly inspected and sealed in order to be protected from interference by any of the parties. The electrical diagram is presented in Annex.3. The main and spare meter readings are recorded in kWhs monthly and cross-checked whether calibration is required. The capacity of the transmission line connected is 154 kVA, the accuracy class for power meters

have been defined in the Communiqué for Power Meters45 as 0.2S class. The calibration will be implemented in accordance with the related standard procedures (IEC-EN 60687). The periodical maintenance is under the responsibility of TEIAS and has been fixed as once in 10 years in accordance with Article.9 of Measure and Metering Devices Regulation46. When the main meter has a breakdown, the readings of the back-up meter will be used. If both meters failed, conservative data substitution procedures based on the internal SCADA data will be used. All data collected as part of monitoring will be archived electronically by the project owner and be kept at least for 2 years after the end of the last crediting period. Description of the monitoring plan Monitoring Plan will be implemented by the following steps: 1) The electricity generated will be metered by two power meters placed at the point of connection to national grid. 2) The official data will be read and recorded monthly by TEIAS officers for invoicing. The data include net electricity exported to the grid. 3) The official data will be cross-checked by the hourly gross electricity generation measured and recorded by the internal SCADA system in the powerhouse. 4) The emission reductions will be calculated by multiplying the net electricity with the CM calculated below. In case calibration required for the two power meters during the crediting period, the official report will be provided by the Project Owner.

5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The Environmental Impact Assesment was completed on June 2007 and affirmative decision has been taken for the project on 11/06/2007 by Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) (Annex.2.). The project affects only a small portion of the livelihoods since most (57 percent) households lose less than 25 percent of their land haoldings within the affected communities. The project will not result in physical displacement and no household will be relocated as a result of land acquisition. On the overall, the impacts can be considered as minor. An overview of the impacts from land acquisition is as follows:

• Most land needed for the Project belongs to the Forest Department (67%) • A total of 340 parcels of land is required for the Sarıgüzel Dam and HEPPs; of these 302 parcels

belong to private households, and 38 parcels belong to the Treasury; • The average number of parcel per affected households is 1.6, with minimum 1 and maximum 7

parcels per household; • The number of households affected is limited to 16 percent of the total number of households in the

affected communities; • One hundred eighty (180) households will lose a portion of their land, crops, trees and different

physical structures as a result of land acquisition required for the project; of these 180 households, only one will lose its residential building. However, this household will not be relocated because the building is used as a second home;

• A total of 124 households were interviewed out of the 180 affected households. Surveyed households owned on average 1.9 ha of land and lost 0.5 ha to the project (i.e. 23 percent of their land holdings). Of these 124 households, fifty seven (57) percent of the affected households lose less than 25 percent of their land holding; 28 percent of he affected households lose 26-50 percent of

their land. Those losing 51-75 percent constituted 7 percent of the affected households and 8 percent lose over 76 percent of their holdings47.

The forest land in material site and reservoir will be cleared from vegetation. In return of the vegetation loss, trees and plant species appropriate for the region will be planted during landscaping after construction. The plan for the soil conservation will be implemented for the farmland. Medium level of erosion is observed on the site. After the commissioning of the project, the land subject to erosion will be planted. The reservoir area will be re-organized to from recreational areas. Excavation will be done for preparation of the site for construction and explosions will also take place during the construction of diversion and energy tunnels. The vegetated top soil excavated will be collected separately and will be re-used for gardening and green areas. The excavated material is stored in specially arranged storage areas. The materials suitable for construction will be used as concrete aggregate. The explosions will be done under the control of gendarme and the local residents will be informed about the place and time of the explosions. The nearest settlement to the site where explosions will take place is Dömüler district which is 1,000 m away. No serious impacts are foreseen for the buildings. Quarry area within the project site will be used to supply concrete aggregate for the construction of dam body. The material will be supplied from an area of 64.61 hectares. A crunching-sieving-washing facility will be located on the project site for the production of concrete aggregate. Hacınınoğlu Weir and HPP will also benefit from the materials obtained from the site. Dust emissions will occur from excavation, explosions, crunching-sieving-washing facility, loading and unloading of excavated material and the movement of heavy construction machines. Topographical structure of the region will prevent the dust dispersion. The residential areas Tilkiler District and Hacınınoğlu Village will be affected mostly from dust emission but it will be below the daily allowed limits according to the modelling done for the worst case scenario during EIA studies. Noise level caused by the construction activities will be below the allowed limits (70dBA) in the residential areas. However, Đkizler District at 225m distance to transmission tunnel and Tilkiler district where the tunnel will go underneath will be affected from vibration. In order to mitigate those impacts, a land survey will be done before the construction starts. In accordance with the study done, the explosions will be done in smaller steps and the houses identified to be affected will be expropriated. The route of riverbed will be diverted temporarily during construction. This may have an adverse effect on the river ecosystem and water quality. In order to mitigate those adverse impacts, the natural flow regime of the river has been evaluated. According to Montana Method, which accounts 20% of annual daily flow to be released to the river, a flow rate of 11.74 m3/sec would be appropriate for the continuation of the biological life downstream during the operational phase. The method advises to release 10% of the same amount for temporary cases. Therefore; the flow rate will 5.87 m3/sec for the construction phase. In order to avoid negative impacts on water quality, the vegetation in the reservoir area will be cleared before impoundment. The water used for crunching-sieving-washing facility will be supplied form Ceyhan River, will be treated in settlement tanks and discharged back to the river. Domestic wastewater generated at the camp site and construction site is first settled in impermeable septic tanks and then treated in package wastewater treatment plant. The treated wastewater is recollected in impermeable septic tank and after reaching to sufficient amount, sucked by the sewage trucks of Kahramanmaraş Municipality. The recyclable solid waste such as iron pieces, plate, packing material and etc. will be collected separately and domestic solid waste will be collected by Kahramanmaraş Municipality. Domestic solid wastes are collected at the bins placed at the camp site and stored at the solid waste disposal area. Solid waste collected is transferred to the solid waste disposal site of Kahramanmaraş Municipality.
