Particular attention to the frequency of measurements, the quality of the metering equipment including calibration requirements, and the quality assurance and quality control procedures was paid, evaluate the data management and the quality assurance and quality control system in the context of their influence on the generation and reporting of emission reductions. A complete list of all documents reviewed is available in Annex 2 of this report. 2.4 On-site Assessment and follow-up Interviews On , TÜV SÜD performed a physical site inspection and on-site interviews with project stakeholders to: confirm the implementation and operation of the project, review the data flow for generating, aggregating and reporting the monitoring parameters, confirm the correct implementation of procedures for operations and data collection, cross-check the information provided in the MR documentation with other sources (raw data), check the monitoring equipments against the requirements of the PDD and the approved methodology, including calibrations, maintenance, etc., review the calculations and assumptions used to obtained the GHG data and VER, identify if the quality control and quality assurance procedures are in place to prevent or correct errors or omissions in the reported parameters. A list of the persons interviewed during this verification activity is included in Annex Quality of Evidence to Determine Emission Reductions Among many others the following relevant and reliable evidences have been used by the audit team during the verification process: 1. Operational reports of the Plant including Failure Register, IRL#15; 2. Reports on produced electricity, IRL#12; 3. Invoices of electricity sold to the grid, IRL#10;

10 Third Periodic Verification of the Puck Wind Farm Generation Project in the Gnieżdżewo area near the Puck Commune in the Republic of Poland Page 9 of Invoices of electricity purchased from the grid, IRL#11; 5. Electroenergetic Statistics Report for 2008 by Agencja Rynku Energii SA - ARE SA (The Energy Market Agency in Poland),. Sufficient evidence covering the full verification period in the required frequency is available to verify the figures stated in the final MR. The source of the evidences are discussed in chapter 3.4 of this report. Specific cross-checks have been done in cases that further sources were available. All figures in the monitoring report were cross-checked by the audit team against the raw data. The data collection system meets the requirements of the monitoring plan as per the methodology. 2.6 Resolution of Clarification and Corrective and Forward Action Requests The objective of this phase of the verification process was to resolve any outstanding issues which needed to be clarified for TÜV SÜD s positive conclusion on the GHG emission reduction calculation. The findings raised as Forward Action Requests (FAR#1) indicated in previous verification report (IRL#4) were clarified as the requested information was submitted to TUEV SUED by the PP. However a new FAR was raised to finalize the issue (see chapters 3.1 and 4). To guarantee the transparency of the verification process, the concerns raised, based on the desk review and subsequent on-site audit assessment and follow up interviews, together with the responses given are documented in Annex 1 (verification protocol). A Corrective Action Request is raised where TÜV SÜD identifies: non-conformities in monitoring and/or reporting with the monitoring plan and/or methodology; that the evidence provided is not sufficient to prove conformity; mistakes in assumptions, data or calculations that impair the ER; FARs stated during validation that are not solved until the on-site visit. A Clarification Request is raised where TÜV SÜD does not have enough information or the information is not clear in order to confirm a statement or data. A Forward Action Request is raised where TÜV SÜD identifies that monitoring and/or reporting required special attention or adjustments for the next verification period. Information or clarifications provided as response to a CAR, CR or FAR can also lead to a new CAR. 2.7 Internal Quality Control As an ultimate step of verification the final documentation including the verification report and the protocol have to undergo an internal quality control by the Certification Body (CB) climate and energy, i.e. each report has to be finally approved either by the Head of the CB or the Deputy. In case one of these two persons is part of the assessment team the approval can only be given by the other one. If the documents have been satisfactorily approved, the Request for Issuance is submitted with the relevant documents.

11 Third Periodic Verification of the Puck Wind Farm Generation Project in the Gnieżdżewo area near the Puck Commune in the Republic of Poland Page 10 of 22 3 VERIFICATION RESULTS In the following sections the results of the verification are stated. The verification results relate to the project performance as documented and described in the final Monitoring Report , version 03 (). The verification findings for each verification subject are presented below: 3.1 FARs from previous verification There was one Forward Action Request raised in the previous Second Periodic Verification Report No (IRL#4). The FAR from the previous verification was resolved; however a new FAR was raised to completely finalize the issue (see chapter 4). 3.2 Project Implementation in accordance with the registered Project Design Document The project is fully implemented according to the description presented in the PDD. The verifier confirms, through the visual inspection that all physical features of the proposed VER+ project activity including data collecting systems and storage have been implemented in accordance with the registered PDD. The project activity is completely operational and the same has been confirmed on-site. No data and/or variables presented in the MR differ significantly from the stated in the registered PDD, which would to cause an increment of the ER in this period or in future periods in relation to the estimates in the registered PDD. The emission reductions in the respective year where significantly lower than the estimated annual average according to the prognosis in the PDD but that this could be clearly explained with unusual weather patterns in the respective year which led to reduced wind availability and to lower electricity generation from wind power in the whole Baltic Sea region The project is a part of the Polish green Investment Scheme. 3.3 Compliance of the Monitoring Plan with the Monitoring Methodology The monitoring plan is in accordance with the approved project specific methodology, applied by the proposed VER+ project activity. Neither a revision nor a deviation to the monitoring plan has been requested. 3.4 Compliance of the Monitoring with the Monitoring Plan The monitoring has been carried out in accordance with the monitoring plan contained in the registered PDD. However not all the parameters listed in the Table D are needed to be monitored. The verification of the parameters required by the monitoring plan is provided as follows: Data / Parameter: ES y, Data unit: Description: MWh Net electricity sales to Energa From the Project Wind Generators.
