SECTION A. Executive summary

>> The project’s purpose is to utilize the wind resources in Bac Lieu province to produce and supply electricity to the national grid under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed with the Electricity Corporation of Vietnam (EVN). Bac Lieu Province Wind Power Plant includes the construction of a near-shore wind power farm on the area of 540ha along the East Dam (De Dong) of Bac Lieu city, Bac Lieu province, Vietnam with total capacity of 99.2 MW. The project involves the installation of 62 wind turbines at capacity of 1.6 MW each in two phases. The first phase includes the installation of 10 wind turbines with combined capacity of 16 MW and Phase 2 includes the installation of the remaining 52 turbines with combined capacity of 83.2 MW. The commissioning of all the WTGs of the project activity corresponding to the project full capacity i.e. 99.2 MW has been completed on 29/09/2016 with the commissioning of the last turbine G61 on 29/09/2016. The project is owned by M/s. Cong Ly Construction - Trading - Tourism Co., Ltd. and commissioned on 20/06/2013 (earliest commissioning date among WTGs) as verified from the commissioning certificate /05/. As per registered PDD/18/, the generated electricity is sold to national grid (EVN) for the entire project lifetime, bound by PPA/08/. For the current monitoring period, the generated electricity is sold to EVN as evidenced from electricity bills/protocol/10/ and the electricity sale invoice/11/. Bac Lieu Province Wind Power Plant is located in Bac Lieu city, Bac Lieu province, Vietnam. The turbines are installed along the East Dam of Bac Lieu city within the following coordinates:

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.

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

Means of verification The MR includes a comparison of the calculated actual emission reductions with the ex-ante calculated values in the registered PDD /18/.

Estimated Emission

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

Version 01.0 Page 27 of 27

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.

Documentation provided by project participant

DOE assessment Date: 18/09/2017

Verification team has checked the PP response and found OK. Further Verification team has checked the document “official document No. 3462/EPTC-P5 of EVN dated 04 November 2016” /06/ and found the stated commercial operation date of G52 as 31/07/2017 which is consistent with the MR /02/. Hence this CAR is closed.
