1.3 Project Description Durgun Hydropower Project in Mongolia is a grid-connected hydropower project which is located in a narrow steep canyon of the Chono Kharaih River, 6km downstream from the Dalai-Kharus lakes, 1,500 km to the west of Ulaanbaatar and 120 km to the northeast of Khovd town (the capital town of Khovd province) on the Chono Kharaih River, in the territory of the Durgun soum. The dam consists of a 230m long earth-filled section, and a 60m long concrete section which incorporates the powerhouse, spillway and fishway. The powerhouse accommodates 3 generating units, each with rated capacity of 4MW Kaplan turbine. The turbines were expected to operate all year round with an installed capacity of approximately 36.2% and to generate an estimated net generation of 36,100 MWh of electricity per year as described in the registered PDD. The project delivers electricity to the western electricity grid(Myangad substation) servicing Bayan Ulgii Aimag, Khovd Aimag, and Uvs Aimag (Provinces) via 110kV transmission line, the length of which is approximately 76 km. It was expected that CO2 emission reductions achieved by the project activity are approximately 28,880 tCO2e/yr. The project activity for registration is validated by KEMCO and registered on 23 March 2007 and the commercial generation started 07 January 2009. The project participants selected the renewable crediting period of which the first period spans from 01/11/2008 to 31/10/2015. The 2nd monitoring period for this verification is thirteen months, from 01/06/2010 to 31/08/2011 and emission reductions which the project participants claim are 30,253 tCO2eq. The difference between the amount (36,100 tCO2eq) of emission reductions expected during this monitoring period according to the project design document and actually monitored amount of emission reductions is caused by the Durgun hydro power plant being dispatched by the western electricity grid to operate only up to the levels specified.

2 METHODOLOGY The verification may consist of the following three phases:

1. Desk review of the monitoring methodology and monitoring plan, and relevant data and information;

2. On-site assessment of monitoring practices and records, and interviews with relevant monitoring and management personnel; and,

3. Resolution of outstanding issues and issuance of the final verification report and statement.

In order to ensure transparency, a verification protocol was customized for the project, according to the Validation and Verification Manual. The protocol shows in transparent manner, criteria (requirements), means of verification and the results from verifying the identified criteria. The verification protocol serves the following purposes.

It organizes, details and clarifies the requirements a CDM project is expected to meet;

It ensures a transparent verification process where the verifier will document how a particular requirement has been verified and the results of the verification.

The verification protocol consists of two tables. The different columns in these tables are described in Figure 1. The completed verification protocol is enclosed in Appendix A to this report. Findings established during the verification can either be seen as a non-fulfillment of verification protocol criteria or where a risk to the fulfillment of project objectives is identified. Corrective Action Request (CAR) is issued, where:

1. Non-conformities with the monitoring plan or methodology are found in monitoring and reporting, or if the evidence provided to prove conformity is insufficient;

2. Mistakes have been made in applying assumptions, data or calculations of emission reductions that will impair the estimate of emission reductions;

3. Issues identified in a FAR during validation to be verified during verification have not been resolved by the project participants.

The verification team may also raise Clarification Request (CL), which would be where:

1. Information is insufficient or not clear enough to determine whether the applicable CDM requirements have been met.

The verification team may raise a forward action request (FAR) during verification for actions if the monitoring and reporting require attention and/or adjustment for the next verification period.

3 VERIFICATION FINDINGS In the following sections the findings of the verification are stated. The verification findings for each verification subject are presented as follows: 1) The findings from the desk review of the monitoring report and relevant documents, and the

findings from physical site inspection and interviews during the site visit are summarized. These findings are described in detail in the Verification Protocol in Appendix A.

2) Where the verification team had identified issues that needed clarification or that represented a risk to the fulfillment of the project objectives, a Clarification or Corrective Action Request, respectively, have been issued. The Clarification and Corrective Action Requests are stated, where applicable, in the following sections and are further documented in the Verification Protocol in Appendix A.

3) Where Clarification or Corrective Action Requests have been issued, the communications between the client and KEMCO to resolve these Clarification or Corrective Action Requests are summarized.

4) In conclusion, the verification opinion of the verification team has been presented. The final verification findings are based on the revised monitoring report (version 02, dated 03/02/2012) and re-submitted supporting documentation.

3.1 Project implementation in accordance with the registered project design document In order to check that all facilities and equipment are installed in accordance with the registered PDD and monitoring methodology, the verification team reviewed a schematic diagram and looked carefully all the structures, plants and surroundings during the site visit on 21/12/2011. Through the physical inspection, the verification team confirmed that the total three hydropower generation sets consist of three units of 4MW Kaplan turbine and three generators have been installed. The verification team also checked monitoring points and monitoring equipments. It was confirmed by a schematic diagram and direct observation during the site visit that as described in the registered PDD: two main meters for 110 kV and 11 kV (outside the project boundary) transmission lines respectively, have been installed at the project site, and among them there is another meter serving to measure electricity consumed from the grid for the internal use of the site. It was further confirmed that net electricity was being monitored just before the connection point with the western grid. With regard to project operation, upon examination of commissioning report, data log books and electricity sales receipts to confirm operation status of the project, the verification team confirmed as below: The project construction was completed on 12 October 2008 and commercial generation started 07 January 2009. The emission reductions claimed by the project participants are below the amount estimated at the project design stage since due to the Durgun hydro power plant is controlled by the western electricity grid to operate only up to the levels specified. No data and variables presented in the monitoring report differ significantly from the stated in the registered PDD, which would to cause an increase of the emission reduction in this

monitoring period or in future monitoring periods in relation to the estimates in the registered PDD. It was also found that this project in the current monitoring period has no changes from the project activity as described in the registered PDD.

3.2 Compliance of the monitoring plan with the monitoring methodology The monitoring plan is in accordance with the methodology applied for this project, AMS-I.D (Version 09) stipulates that monitoring shall consist of metering the electricity generated by the renewable technology. The verification team confirmed, through visual inspection that electricity supplied to and consumed from the grid is monitored continuously by metering equipments as it has been stipulated in the applied methodology, AMS-I.D (Version 09). The monitoring report additionally addresses gross (total) electricity generated by the project for cross checking and calibration frequency of the electricity meter even if not specified in the approved methodology.

Neither a revision nor a deviation to the monitoring plan has been requested to the CDM Executive Board.

3.3 Compliance of monitoring with the monitoring plan The verification team checked whether emission sources and monitoring points are in accordance with the registered monitoring plan. It was confirmed by a schematic diagram and direct observation during the site visit that electricity supplied to the grid and consumed from the grid are measured at the monitoring points and the project does not use fossil fuel in the project boundary as described in the registered PDD. It was also confirmed during the site visit that the amount of parasitic electricity consumed in the project boundary is automatically excluded from gross electricity generation because after used for the project activity, net electricity is monitored just before the connection point with the western grid. All monitoring parameters including grid electricity emission factor to calculate the baseline emissions in the monitoring period are applied in accordance with the registered PDD. A comprehensive list of each parameter required by the monitoring plan is provided in the following: Parameters verified for calculation of project emissions: n/a because PEy=0. Parameters verified for calculation of baseline emissions: BEy = (EG-EC)xEFCO2 ,

EFCO2=0.8kgCO2/kWh Parameters verified for calculation of emissions due to leakage: n/a because Ly=0. In order to confirm whether in practice the monitoring has been conducted in accordance with the monitoring plan or not, the verification team reviewed a schematic diagram and daily log books and performed direct observation and interview with an operator during the site visit. It was confirmed that the project activity has been properly implemented in line with the monitoring plan; the amount of electricity supplied (EG) to the grid by project activity has been measured continuously by the meter (Model DSSD5, Serial No. 3070091133) and recorded on an hourly basis. Meanwhile, the amount of electricity consumed (EC) from the grid by project

Page 12: DURGUN HYDROPOWER PROJECT IN MONGOLIA

activity has been measured continuously by the meter (Model DSSD22, Serial No. 019900). In addition, there are meters for gross electricity generation, and the measured values are compared with the electricity supplied. During the verification, it is took note that calibration of the meters was conducted by the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology who is the author of the Mongolian standard 5090:2005. It was also confirmed that the last calibration of the Serial No. 3070091133 meter was 31/12/2008 and thus the certificate would be valid 30/12/2011, covering the monitoring period in consideration, in line with the General Guidelines to SSC CDM Methodologies (Version 17). On the other hand, it was also confirmed that the last calibration of the Serial No. 019900 meter was 25/06/2010 and thus the certificate would be valid 24/06/2013, covering the monitoring period in consideration. During the site visit, the verification Team checked the constitution of monitoring team provided in the monitoring report (Section C) and reviewed the Procedures for monitoring and reporting, which clearly shows that that the responsibilities and authorities of the monitoring team are in accordance with the monitoring plan. Specifically, operators collect data on an hourly basis and submit the monitored data on a 24-hour basis to the supervisor in each team for approval, and the data approved by the supervisor is finally reviewed by the team leader. It was also noted that the monitoring shift had been set up and its list had been checked. Also it was confirmed by the training material checked during the site visit that training program to the monitoring staff was conducted on 05/11/2010 and 13/05/2011 to inform monitoring of the electricity and internal audit for monitoring data. During the site visit, the verification team interviewed with an operator and it was found that the operator had a proper understanding of the training contents. But two clarifications were raised with regard to the calibration standard and calibration certificates and closed out as follows: CL1: The monitoring report does not mention about the Mongolian standard MNS-50-

90; 2005 which to be followed, for example calibration frequency, by the project operator as described in the registered PDD and the monitoring period for the first verification. Although the calibration frequency for the meters is determined by the General Guidelines to SSC CDM Methodologies, the national standard is also a reference document to be consulted. Clarifications are therefore requested in terms of the national standard (See Appendix A. Table 1 Section C.1);

Corrective Action: The project participants explained that calibration frequency is

determined by the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology who is the author of the Mongolian standard 5090:2005. In addition, it is clearly described in the PDD that the calibration will be conducted every 3 years according to ‘General Guidelines to SSC CDM methodologies (Version 17).

Conclusion: The revised monitoring report sufficiently addressed the reference document in respect of calibration frequency. The NC is therefore closed.

CL2: The last calibration date of the Serial No. 019900 meter is 25/06/2010 as

described by the monitoring report. But, the project participants have not submitted to the verification team the calibration certificates of the Serial No. 019900 meter which is valid during the period of 01/06/2010 and 24/06/2010. (See Appendix A. Table 1 Section C.1).

Corrective Action: The measured EC (project emissions) value of 2,512 kWh for this monitoring period is 0.01% of 37,816,680 kWh EG. The emission due to EC does not lead to an overestimation of the total emission reductions achieved higher than 5%, as per paragraph 4(d) of Decision 9/CMP.7 “Materiality standard under the clean development mechanism”. EC is therefore considered immaterial.

Conclusion: It is confirmed that the amount of imported electricity during the monitoring period is immaterial as per paragraph 4(d) of Decision 9/CMP.7 “Materiality standard under the clean development mechanism”. The NC is therefore closed.

3.4 Assessment of data and calculation of GHG emission reductions

In order to confirm a complete set of data for the monitored period available, the verification team reviewed recorded data during this monitoring period. The verification team confirmed that the amount of electricity to calculate emission reductions has been monitored continuously and recorded on a daily basis for the whole monitoring period. These points made a complete set of data available for the entire monitoring period. By means of interviews with the monitoring team staffs and review of data log books and data collection sheets, the verification team confirmed that the procedures to ensure reliability of the monitored data were properly implemented as follows; An operator records net electricity hourly (In case of diesel amount, when the diesel generator is operated) and aggregates and reports to a supervisor daily. The supervisor checks daily aggregated data and report to a deputy team leader for confirmation on a monthly basis. The deputy team leader confirms and ensures all recorded data every month. Abnormality of the monitored data is firstly checked by an operator on a daily basis, and if abnormality is found, it is reported to a supervisor immediately. By means of interviews with monitoring staffs during the site visit, the verification team assessed whether the procedures to ensure reliability of the monitored data were properly implemented. In order to assess the accuracy of the monitored data, the verification team cross-checked the electricity supplied to the grid and the receipt of electricity sales issued by the local authority, compared the electricity supplied to the grid with the gross electricity generated by the project. It is hence concluded that the monitored data is reliable because the monitored data by the main meters are equal to electricity sales receipts which is made monthly by a power purchasing company. And the invoices by the project owner and confirmations from local administration of the project site also show that the monitored data is right for the monitoring period.

As a result, two CARs were raised and closed out as follows:

CAR1: The Verification Team cross-checked daily measurement data during the monitoring period with the excel spreadsheets submitted to the team. It was found then that there were discrepancies between data on imported electricity on 30 June, 1 July 2010, 21-22 April 2011, 5 August, 9 August 2011. (See Appendix A. Table 1 Section D.1);

Corrective Action: Electricity consumed was less than 1% of net electricity

Page 14: DURGUN HYDROPOWER PROJECT IN MONGOLIA

10

supplied, well below 5% condition for small-scale projects as stated in the ‘Draft standard on the use of the concept of Materiality and Level of Assurance in the Clean Development Mechanism’. Nevertheless, electricity from the grid on 30 June and 1 July 2010, and on 21-22 April, 5 August, and 9 August 2011 were re-checked, although beyond the scope of the monitoring plan specified in the registered PDD, which is electricity consumed weekly. The typographical errors with inputting values to an adjacent date were traced and corrected. The values meanwhile are correct, thus weekly totals of electricity consumption remain the same. Therefore, there is no change in the calculated Emission Reductions.

Conclusion: The verification team cross-checked daily log books with the corrected excel spreadsheets and concluded that clerical errors had been cleared. It was also noted that the total amount of net electricity generation was not affected the errors happened due to wrong assignment of the values, NOT the values themselves. Therefore, the NC is closed.

CAR2: The Verification Team checked on-site daily measurement data on both exported and imported electricity. It was found then that there was one case where net electricity generation exceeded total electricity generation for half day on 20 May 2011. Clarifications for this discrepancy are therefore requested. (See Appendix A. Table 1 Section D.1):

Corrective Action: Although beyond the scope of the monitoring plan specified in

the registered PDD, which is net electricity supply aggregated weekly, total electricity generation for half day on 20 May 2011 was checked, and the difference was determined to be due to the malfunction of the generation meter during that period. Hence the appearance of electricity generation being lower than net supplied. The parameter material to the emission reductions claimed, which is net electricity supplied to the 110 kV line, remain as confirmed by the payment certificate from the grid company.

Conclusion: the verification team cross-checked the log book and confirmed that the meter to monitor total generation was disconnected on 20/05/2011. It was further confirmed that the malfunction did not affect the total amount of net electricity generation since another meter (Serial No. 3070091133) measures the amount of net electricity separately and well-managed by both the project operator and power purchasing company. Therefore, the NC is closed.

The verification team confirmed that the methods and formulae used to obtain the baseline, project activity and leakage emissions are appropriate. The calculations are carried out in accordance with the methods and formulae described in the registered monitoring plan and applied methodology, AMS-I.D (Version 09). It was confirmed by the calculation sheets submitted to the DOE that baseline emissions are calculated by multiplying the monitored net electricity by 0.8 kgCO2e/kWh as a baseline emission factor according to the monitoring plan. But, the measured EC value of 2,512 kWh for this monitoring period is 0.01% of 37,816,680 kWh EG. The emission due to EC does not lead to an overestimation of the total emission reductions achieved higher than 5%, as per paragraph 4(d) of Decision 9/CMP.7 “Materiality standard under the clean development mechanism”. EC is therefore considered immaterial and excluded from calculation of emission reductions.

3.5 Previous issues assessment

The verification team identified one FAR from the previous verification and assessed the remaining issues. The ‘FAR1’ of the previous verification report for the 2nd monitoring period states that:

It was found that gross electricity generated by the project is less than net electricity supplied to the grid (EG) due to clerical errors on a few dates as the CAR4. Thus, there should be a measure to prevent a recurrence and to reinforce for improving reliability of the data.

The verification team found that then that there was one case where net electricity generation exceeded total electricity generation for half day on 20 May 2011 and took note that they recorded the event in the log book and responded to it in due course. In this regard, it is concluded the FAR1 of the previous verification report was appropriately addressed.

4. PUBLICATION OF MONITORING REPORT In accordance with the "Procedures for making the monitoring report available to the public in accordance with paragraph 62 of the modalities and procedures for the CDM,” the monitoring report for the period of 01/06/2010 to 31/08/2011 for the CDM project activity “Durgun Hydropower Project in Mongolia (0786)” had been posted on the UNFCCC CDM website on 06/12/2011.

5. VERIFICATION STATEMENT The KEMCO Verification Team has undertaken verification of the emission reductions monitored by the registered project: Durgun Hydropower Project in Mongolia. The verification is based on the requirements of the CDM, i.e. UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, Marrakesh Accords, Decision 3, 4/CMP.1 and relevant decisions of the CDM executive board. For a risk-based approach to verify the reported emission reductions, the Monitoring Manual and Monitoring Report was reviewed against the registered Project Design Document in terms of their completeness, accuracy, consistency, transparency, conservativeness, and materiality. As a result, several potential risks of departures from the requirements for the CDM were identified. The assessment of management controls was made in order to examine such potential risks and then additional audit testing was performed through sample check to identify residual risk areas. Based on the results of this assessment, the Verification Team issued two Corrective Action Requests (CARs) and two Clarification Requests (CLs). In response to the request for such corrective actions, the project participants provided to the verification team the revised Monitoring Report and relevant documentation, and the verification team then through review of the corrective actions and agreed that the raised non-conformities were cleared. In conclusion, the verification team is of the opinion that Durgun Hydropower Project in Mongolia has achieved an emission reduction of 30,253 tCO2e in the period of 01/06/2010 to 31/08/2011 in compliance with all applicable requirements for the CDM by properly implementing the data management system and quality control system. Reporting period: From 01/06/2010 to 31/08/2011

E Previous issues assessment(where applicable)

E.1. Have the remaining issues from the previous verification period been assessed?

Para 221 /20/,/21/ Document Review 1. Checked: The verification team identified one

FAR from the previous verification and assessed the remaining issues. The ‘FAR1’ of the previous verification report for the 2nd monitoring period states that: It was found that gross electricity generated by the project is less than net electricity supplied to the grid (EG) due to clerical errors on a few dates as the CAR4. Thus, there should be a measure to prevent a recurrence and to reinforce for improving reliability of the data.

The verification team found that then that there was one case where net electricity generation exceeded total electricity generation for half day on 20 May 2011 and took note that they recorded the event in the log book and responded to it in due course. In this regard, it is concluded the FAR1 of the previous verification report was appropriately addressed.

Summary of project owner response

Verification conclusion

1. CL1: The monitoring report does not mention about the Mongolian standard MNS-50-90; 2005 which to be followed, for example calibration frequency, by the project operator as described in the registered PDD and the monitoring period for the first verification. Although the calibration frequency for the meters is determined by the General Guidelines to SSC CDM Methodologies, the national standard is also a reference document to be consulted. Clarifications are therefore requested in terms of the national standard

Appendix Table2

Section C.1

The project participants explained that calibration frequency is determined by the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology who is the author of the Mongolian standard 5090:2005. In addition, it is clearly described in the PDD that the calibration will be conducted every 3 years according to ‘General Guidelines to SSC CDM methodologies (Version 17).

The revised monitoring report sufficiently addressed the reference document in respect of calibration frequency. The NC is therefore closed.

2. CL2: The last calibration date of the Serial No. 019900 meter is 25/06/2010 as described by the monitoring report. But, the project participants have not submitted to the verification team the calibration certificates of the Serial No. 019900 meter which is valid during the period of 01/06/2010 and 24/06/2010.

Appendix Table2

Section C.1

The measured EC (project emissions) value of 2,512 kWh for this monitoring period is 0.01% of 37,816,680 kWh EG. The emission due to EC does not lead to an overestimation of the total emission reductions achieved higher than 5%, as per paragraph 4(d) of Decision 9/CMP.7 “Materiality standard under the clean development mechanism”. EC is therefore considered immaterial.

It is confirmed that the amount of imported electricity during the monitoring period is immaterial as per paragraph 4(d) of Decision 9/CMP.7 “Materiality standard under the clean development mechanism”. The NC is therefore closed.

Page 30: DURGUN HYDROPOWER PROJECT IN MONGOLIA

3. CAR1: The Verification Team cross-checked daily measurement data during the monitoring period with the excel spreadsheets submitted to the team. It was found then that there were discrepancies between data on imported electricity on 30 June, 1 July 2010, 21-22 April 2011, 5 August, 9 August 2011.

Appendix Table2

Section D.1

Electricity consumed was less than 1% of net electricity supplied, well below 5% condition for small-scale projects as stated in the ‘Draft standard on the use of the concept of Materiality and Level of Assurance in the Clean Development Mechanism’. Nevertheless, electricity from the grid on 30 June and 1 July 2010, and on 21-22 April, 5 August, and 9 August 2011 were re-checked, although beyond the scope of the monitoring plan specified in the registered PDD, which is electricity consumed weekly. The typographical errors with inputting values to an adjacent date were traced and corrected. The values meanwhile are correct, thus weekly totals of electricity consumption remain the same. Therefore, there is no change in the calculated Emission Reductions.

The verification team cross-checked daily log books with the corrected excel spreadsheets and concluded that clerical errors had been cleared. It was also noted that the total amount of net electricity generation was not affected the errors happened due to wrong assignment of the values, NOT the values themselves. Therefore, the NC is closed.

Page 31: DURGUN HYDROPOWER PROJECT IN MONGOLIA

27

4. CAR2: The Verification Team checked on-site daily measurement data on both exported and imported electricity. It was found then that there was one case where net electricity generation exceeded total electricity generation for half day on 20 May 2011. Clarifications for this discrepancy are therefore requested.

Appendix Table2

Section D.1

Although beyond the scope of the monitoring plan specified in the registered PDD, which is net electricity supply aggregated weekly, total electricity generation for half day on 20 May 2011 was checked, and the difference was determined to be due to the malfunction of the generation meter during that period. Hence the appearance of electricity generation being lower than net supplied. The parameter material to the emission reductions claimed, which is net electricity supplied to the 110 kV line, remain as confirmed by the payment certificate from the grid company.

The verification team cross-checked the log book and confirmed that the meter to monitor total generation was disconnected on 20/05/2011. It was further confirmed that the malfunction did not affect the total amount of net electricity generation since another meter (Serial No. 3070091133) measures the amount of net electricity separately and well-managed by both the project operator and power purchasing company. Therefore, the NC is closed.
