12 26 Up to 26May Sub-Total for up to May 2008 Grand Total GHG Calculations The following formula is adopted for calculating emission reductions generated by the project activity: The emission reductions for a given year are baseline emissions minus the project emissions and leakage. ER y = BE y - PE y - L y Where ER y = Emission reductions in a given year BE y = Baseline emissions in a given year PE y = Project emissions in a given year = Leakage in a given year Ly Baseline Emissions The baseline emissions are calculated as follows: BE y = EG EF y y Where EG y = Net electricity export to grid in a given year (GWh) EF y is = Emission factor for a given year (tco 2/GWh) As mentioned under sec. B.2 of registered PDD (UNFCCC Project Activity Ref. No.1273), the project has considered the ex-ante emission factor for the combined margin of the Southern regional grid and the details are furnished below: Operating Margin (OM) in t CO 2 / GWh Build Margin (BM), in t CO2 / GWh Combined Margin (CM) Simple average of OM and BM in t CO 2 / GWh Project emissions (PEy): The project emissions are considered zero. Leakage Page No As specified in ACM 0002, project participants do not need to consider these emission sources as leakage in applying this methodology. Hence the leakage emissions are considered zero. Using the above formulas, the Emission reductions from the project activity are shown below.

17 Annex-2 Justification for Excess Power Generation during the Reported Period The information provided in the Registered PDD and Actual data for the reported period are furnished below: Parameter Units As per Regd. PDD Actual ( to ) Monitored Period Annual Projection Actual ( to ) Gross energy generation GWh Export to grid GWh % Add: Expected energy export to grid during GWh lean period i.e. Jan, Feb & March 5.16% Annual PLF on export to grid 37.6% 70.0% 57.9% 51.5% Annual emission reductions tco2e Excess ER generation 40.3% 37.04% The first reason for the excess electricity generation compared to the projection in the PDD is that the rainfall in the catchments area of river Cauvery was above long-term normals for the region. In 2006, the monsoon season (June to September) rainfall over the North Interior Karnataka where the Cauvery river passing has observed 614 mm as against the normal rain fall 659 mm. In spite of marginal less rain fall (- 7%), the heavy inflows into reservoirs in Cauvery basin were witnessed during the year 2006 and the statements published in various News papers 1 supporting huge water discharges from Cauvery basin reservoirs and the same have been provided to the DOE for verification. As per statement in Indian Express 2 dated 2 July 2007, the year 2006 was a particularly good year for reservoirs the storage that year being the best of the previous four years 2007 is turning out to be better. As per Mid-Season Review of Southwest Monsoon report, the cumulative rainfall in the catchments area of Cauvery river for the period from 1st June to 31st July 2007 was 33% 3 above of its Long Period Average (LPA). The details of rain fall in the State of Karnataka are presented below: Page No. 17

18 Region S.I. Karnataka (Covered Cauvery river catchments area) Normal (LPA) Actual % Excess N.I. Karnataka Apart from the above, the pp also reviewed the discharge data was recorded for the period of 10 years i.e. from to at Dhanagere anicut by Central Water Commission (CWC) at time of Detailed project report (DPR) and in the absence of relevant data for the following are not accounted in the estimated average annual export power to grid of MW. No corrections to the recorded data for the additional catchment area made at Dhanagere anicut. The releases into Dhanagere irrigation canal The uncertainty relating to water discharges was in fact one of the key risk factors affecting the project. The investment decision, and hence the projected power generation in the PDD, were based on a conservative average water discharge level of cubic meters per second (cumec) as reflected in PDD, corresponding to an average plant load factor of 40%. Due to favorable discharges from the above-mentioned factors which could not be relied upon at the time of PDD writing, actual discharges during the monitoring period were higher and thereby the power generations are higher than the estimated power generations. As there is no restriction on the plant load factor (PLF) from the state electricity board authorities (Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited), the project activity has utilized the available water and generated excess electricity generation is deemed acceptable. 3 Map of India Meteorological Department for the period from 1st June to 31 July 2007 vide web link Page No. 18

21 Flood levels in Krishna, Cauvery basins remain high Monday, 13 August, 2007, 10:06 Flood levels in Krishna and Cauvery rivers remained high, while heavy rains that battered districts coming under Western Ghats in Coastal Karnataka abated, giving a breather to the affected people. Two persons were feared washed away in the swirling waters in the Raichur district coming under Krishna basin. The body of Huligeppa Hallimath (55), who was washed away while crossing a canal, was fished out in Sindhanur Taluk today. Reports said heavy inflows continued from Maharashtra into Krishna and Bheema rivers that affected the normal life in North Karnataka, causing concerns downstream Andhra Pradesh. Water levels remained above the danger mark in Krishna with Alamatti reservoir in the Bagalkot district receiving over 2.28 lakh cusecs. Same amount of water was released by opening all the 26 crust gates. Downstream Narayanpur reservoir was receiving 2.39 lakh cusecs of water and nearly 2.4 lakh cusecs of water was being let out into downstream Jurala project in Andhra Pradesh. Many villages were inundated and standing crops damaged in the flood waters of Bhima river in Gulbarga. Over 80,000 cusecs of water flowed down from Maharashtra into the district with level at Devalgoan bridge crossing the danger mark. Tungabhadra river, the main tributary of Krishna, continued to be swollen with over 1.90 lakh cusecs being let out from Tungabhadra dam in the Koppal district into downstream Andhra Pradesh. Flooded Cauvery and its tributary Kabini continued to cause concern in downstream Tamil Nadu despite heavy rain giving respite to the people of Kodagu district. People in the hilly district of Kodagu, where Cauvery takes birth, gave away a sign of relief as torrential rains showed signs of abating. A number of landslips, roads being washed away, uprooting of trees and snapping of power lines made life miserable. The district had received a record rainfall this season-- the highest during the last 30 years. Krishnaraja Sagar Reservoir across Cauvery near Mysore had an inflow of over 92,000 cusecs and most of it was being let out into the river. Kabini taking birth in Wynad in Kerala, continued to get good inflows and about 25,000 cusecs of water was being let out from the dam near Beechnahalli in Mysore district. The intensity of rain had reduced in Hassan, Shimoga and Chikmagalur districts in the Ghat areas. Page No. 21
