3 1 PROJECT DETAILS 1.1 Summary Description of Project İncirli Hydropower plant (hereafter referred to as the Project) developed by Laskar Enerji Üretim Pazarlama A.Ş (refered to as the Project Proponent) is a grid connected large-scale hydroelectric power plant which uses the water supply of İyidere river in Kalkandere district of Rize Province of Turkey (hereafter referred to as the Host Country). The designed annual operation time is approximately 4417 hours. The total installed capacity of the project is MWm / MWe with three sets of turbine units (9.51 MWm x 3 = MWm), with a predicted electricity supply to the grid of GWh 1. The aim of the Project is to utilise the hydro electrical resources in order to generate zero emission electricity and sell it to the Turkish National Grid via TEIAS (Türkiye Elektrik İletim A.Ş / Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation) which is mainly dominated by fossil fuel-fired power plants. Thereby the project activity displaces electricity that is relatively carbon intensive (with a Combined Margin Emission Factor of 0,704 tco 2 /MWh) and reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The design flow rate for İncirli diversion weir is m 3 /s and the gross head is meters. In accordance with these values the annual electricity generation is estimated as GWh. The generated electricity shall be transferred to the İyidere Substation by a 34.5 kv and 2 km long transmission line. Calculated by the estimated gross energy generation of the project activity, the net electricity generation of the project activity was assumed to be GWh annually 2 and the annual estimated emission reductions calculated with the net electricity generation will be around 86,915 tco 2. The project is operational since May During the first crediting period between May 2011 and August 2012, the project supplied kwh electricity to the national grid, reducing tco Sectoral Scope and Project Type According to UNFCCC definitions, the Project activity falls into; Sectoral Scope 01: Energy Industry (renewable/non-renewable sources).

ELSTER A1500 ALPHA Accuracy Class: Class 0.5S 7 Turkish Electricity Transmission Company (TEİAŞ) is responsible of calibrating the electricity meters and of checking them monthly for accuracy. Cross check measurement results with records for sold electricity. The electricity taken from the grid subtracted from the total electricity production to the grid. 3.3 Description of the Monitoring Plan The Monitoring Plan (MP) used for determining the emission reduction by the İncirli HEPP Project is based on the methodology ACM0002. Since the project activities involve electricity generation from renewable sources and there is no significant leakage source and environmental impacts, the MP will include monitoring electricity generation by the project activities and key sustainable development indicators. The project owner will establish and implement the Monitoring Protocol before the start up of the Project production. The objective of the Monitoring Protocol is to provide credible, accurate, transparent and conservative monitoring data of the emission reductions. Moreover, the real, measurable and long term 7 9

10 global environmental benefits relating to the GHG emission reduction accrued by the Project can be verified and certified. Data to be monitored Electricity delivered by the Project to the Grid (EG facility,y ) As shown in the figure below the main and back-up electricity meters of İncirli HEPP are installed in İyidere substation next to each other in individual sealed cabinets. Same day of each month, the generated electricity by İncirli HEPP is read by the officers of TEIAS from the main meter. The back-up meter is always operative but only used for double checking in case of a miscalculation is observed in main meter readings. The net electricity generation will already be measured and recorded by both TEIAS and the project owner after the implementation of the project. The Plant Manager and its appointed team (whom will be informed about VER concepts and mechanisms and how to monitor and collect the data) will be responsible for the electricity generation, gathering all relevant data and keeping the records. The same procedure applies for the monitoring of the annual installed capacity after implementation of the project. Figure 1. Location of electricity meters of İncirli HEPP in İyidere substation 10

Calibration Calibration of the Electronic Meters: Elster A1500 meters are factory calibrated and delivered to the customer with the Calibration Titles and Values Report separately for each meter with serial numbers of and The periodic calibration process of the meters are subject to The Directive on Metering and Meter Calibration Procedures that is published in the Official Gazette, number 22000, on the date of 24/07/1994 and 8 Initial calibration reports are available upon request.. 11

12 executed under the authority of the Ministry of Industry and Trade 9. The meters that are subject to billing are regulated under this protocol nationwide. In Article 9, it is clearly stated that it is mandatory to perform calibration on the electricity meters once in every ten years. The periodic duration starts as of the first calibration and the official sealing day of the devices. Article 6 regulates the periodic calibration applications. Every year, by the start of January till the end of February, the Ministry announces on the government television and radio, the addressed government offices for receiving the periodic calibration requests based on the perimeters and types of the meters. The distribution company who uses the meters at distribution is responsible for application and execution of the calibration control. Article 8 states that the periodic calibrations are performed by the Measurement and Regulation Organization of the Ministry and the appointed Municipal Measurement and Regulation Offices. The mandatory or voluntary calibration reports will be provided to Borga Carbon by the project owner and will be archived as planned in the Monitoring Plan. The net electricity fed to the grid by the project activity will be monitored in accordance with the approved methodology. The electricity generated by the project activity will be measured by two (a main and a back-up) Elster A 1500 meters 10. Elster A 1500 meters are in direct accord with the Decleration on Meters that are Used in the Electricity Market 11 that is announced by Electricity Market Regulatory Authority and the minimum requirements that the electrical meters must satify which are stipulated by TEDAS 12. The meters are in compliance with International Electrotechnical Commision 13 standards and Turkish Standards Institution 14 requirements. The meters are capable of measuring the active and reactive energy on buy and sell aspects as well as they are qualified for advanced measuring of the power quality and saving historical data. The meters are located in the İyidere substation, which is a separate building from the powerhouse. The meters are locked and sealed preventing any external interference other than the distribution company officials. The meters can determine the auxiliary consumption and display it on the same screen as well as the gross production. The commands can be typed via different codes on the meter for providing the metering results.the indexes are read by the operators of the control room on hourly basis, recorded on the daily meter operation fact sheet and archived. The monthly readings are done electronically via RS485 port connected to the meter and the inventory obtained qua hourly energy supply and draw as PMUM (Piyasa Mali Uzlastirma Merkezi Market Financial Settlement Center) 15 directs to. The monthly reading procedure is executed and archived by the plant manager as well as it has been stored on PMUM s DGPYS system. The billing is performed by the distribution company, after the tenth

13 day of their meter reading. The electricity generation data is electronically mailed to TEDAS and TEIAS within the first 3 days of each month. In case of a malfunction of a meter, the undefected one s readings are subject to determine the monthly index. In such cases, the person in charge of the distribution company, is notified and the sealed and locked meters are opened in the presence of the representatives from the official distribution company in order to determine and record the breakdown and the reason. The official record of the electricity generation and the breakdown report in case of a malfunction will be submitted to Borga Carbon Ltd., monthly. Data collection The correct readings of the meters are used for calculating the emission reductions of the project. The monitoring processes are as follows: (1) For each month, the designated persons from TEIAS will record the readings of the meter for the electricity delivered to the grid. The daily data which is sent to TEIAS in electronic form will be carbon copied to Borga Carbon Ltd. Monitoring team as well and be assessed, archived and reported by them. (2) Sales receipts will be provided from the project owner and the copies will be saved. Maintenance of Equipments The periodic maintenance of the electromechanical equipments will be conducted in accordance with the maintenance instructions set out in the manual that is provided by Zheijang Jinlun Electromechanic Co. Ltd. The technical staff trained by the manufacturer company between 31/01/ /02/ for plant operation will carry out the maintenance in line with the specific maintenance instructions of the turbine and generator units for İncirli HEPP 17. Training program The project owner and Borga Carbon Ltd. Monitoring team will train all the related staffs by the time of the validation of the project on VER crediting structure, operational regulations, quality control (QC), quality assurance (QA), data monitoring requirements and data management regulations, etc. Monitoring report The monitoring report is prepared by Monitoring Manager, and be submitted to the duly authorized and appointed Designated Operational Entity DOE before each verification period. The report should cover the monitoring of grid-connected power generation, calculation reports of the emission reduction as well as maintenance and calibration reports. All written documentation such as maps, drawings, the Environmental Impact Assessment or EIA exemption report, should be well maintained and retained and should be available to the verifier upon request. Thus the creditability, reliability, transparency and traceability of the project records and calculation of emission reductions could be ensured. Record management All relevant VER data will be measured and collected as detailed in Section 4.1. All data required for verification and issuance will be backed-up and retained for at least two years after the end of the crediting period or the last issuance of VERs of these Projects, whichever occurs later. Data collected on- 16 Project owner s official report about the staff training is available upon request. 17 Maintenance instruction set out in the turbine purchase agreement with the manufacturer. 13

14 site will be compiled in an electronic format which will be sent to BorgaCarbon Consultancy Ltd. (the carbon project developer) on a regular basis. 4 QUANTIFICATION OF GHG EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND REMOVALS 4.1 Baseline Emissions İncirli HEPP project supplies electricity to the national grid via TEİAS under the national laws und regulations and thus, the baseline scenario has been identified as "Electricity delivered to the grid by the project 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 emission factor calculations described in the "Tool to Calculate the Emission Factor for an Electricity System" (Ver EB 63). The emission factor has been calculated using the same "Tool to Calculate the Emission Factor for an Electricity System" Ver , EB 63, valid from 29 September Since there is one intact national grid in Turkey, the emission factor of the Turkish National Grid is calculated using a combined margin (CM), where the Simple OM and BM are calculated ex-ante. For Simple OM calculations and BM data, both national governmental sources and IPCC default values are used. The Operating Margin (OM), Build Margin (BM) and the computed Combined Margin (CM) values used to calculate the emission reductions of İncirli HEPP over the verification period are as follows; Operating Margin Emission Factor ( EF grid,om,y ) = tco 2 /MWh Build Margin Emission Factor (EF grid,bm,y ) = tco 2 /MWh Combined Margin Emission Factor (EF grid,cm,y ) = WOM x EF grid,om,y + WBM x EF grid,bm,y = tco 2 /MWh. 4.2 Project Emissions According to the consolidated methodoly ACM0002 For most renewable power generation project activities, PEy = 0. However, some project activities may involve project emissions that can be significant. These emissions shall be accounted for as project emissions by using the following equation: PE y =PE FF,y,+PE GP,y + PE HP,y Where: PE y = Project emissions in year y (tco2e/yr) PE FF,y = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y (tco2/yr) PE GP,y = Project emissions from the operation of geothermal power plants due to the release of non-condensable gases in year y (tco2e/yr) PE HP,y = Project emissions from water reservoirs of hydro power plants in year y (tco2e/yr) Emissions from water reservoirs of hydro power plants (PE HP,y ) For hydro power project activities that result in new reservoirs and hydro power project activities that 14

15 result in the increase of existing reservoirs, project proponents shall account for CH4 and CO2 emissions from the reservoir, estimated as follows: (a) If the power density of the project activity (PD) is greater than 4 W/m2 and less than or equal to 10 W/m2: PE HP,y = EF Res x TEG y / 1000 Where: PE HP,y = Project emissions from water reservoirs (tco2e/yr) EF Res = Default emission factor for emissions from reservoirs of hydro power plants in year y (kgco2e/mwh) TEG y = Total electricity produced by the project activity, including the electricity supplied to the grid and the electricity supplied to internal loads, in year y (MWh) (b) If the power density of the project activity (PD) is greater than 10 W/m2: PE HP,y = 0 The power density of the project activity (PD) is calculated as follows: PD = CAP PJ CAP BL / A PJ - A BL PD = Power density of the project activity (W/m2) Cap PJ = Installed capacity of the hydro power plant after the implementation of the project activity (W) Cap BL = Installed capacity of the hydro power plant before the implementation of the project activity (W). For new hydro power plants, this value is zero A PJ = Area of the reservoir measured in the surface of the water, after the implementation of the project activity, when the reservoir is full (m2) A BL = 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. According to the consiledated methodolgy ACM0002 version , a reservoir is defined as a water body created in valleys to store water generally made by the construction of a dam. According to this definition, the project activity neither results in a new reservoir nor implemented on an existing reservoir and hence it is concluded that; 15

16 PE y = 0 ; Fossil Fuel Combustion (PEFF,y) PE FF,y = Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y (tco2/yr) is calculated according to the UNFCCC tool Tool to calculate project or leakage CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion (Ver.02) Where: PE Fc,j,y = Are the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in process j during the year y (tco2/yr); FC i,j,y = Is the quantity of fuel type i combusted in process j during the year y (mass or volume unit/yr); COEF i,y = Is the CO2 emission coefficient of fuel type i in year y (tco2/mass or volume unit) i = Are the fuel types combusted in process j during the year y Since the project activity is a hydro electrical power plant there is no use of any fuel tpe. Therefore FC i,j,y = 0. Hence, project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y for all years of the project activity are zero; PE FF,y = 0 Emissions of non-condensable gases from the operation of geothermal power plants (PEGP,y) PE GP,y is calculated as follows: PE GP,y = ( W steam,co 2,y + W steam,ch 4,y * GWP CH 4 ) * M steam,y Where: PE GP,y = Project emissions from the operation of geothermal power plants due to the release of non-condensable gases in year y (tco2e/yr) W stream,co2,y = Average mass fraction of carbon dioxide in the produced steam in year y (tco2/t steam) W stream,ch4,y = Average mass fraction of methane in the produced steam in year y (tch4/t steam) GWP CH4 = Global warming potential of methane valid for the relevant commitment period (tco2e/tch4) 16

17 M stream,y = Quantity of steam produced in year y (t steam/yr) The project activty does not involve any Geothermal components hence; PE GP,y = 0 The project emissions assessment concludes that the project emissions are zero. 4.3 Leakage According to the methodology, leakage from related emission sources do not need to be considered, thus leakage is zero. L y = Summary of GHG Emission Reductions and Removals Emission Reduction: The annual emission reductions of the İncirli HEPP project is calculated by using Equations (1) and (2); ERy = BEy = EGBL,y x EFCO2 = x = tco2e Table 2 - Equations Used In Calculations.
