Roles and Responsibility The monitoring plan clearly states the roles and responsibilities of the three persons from the project owner who are involved in the monitoring of grid-connected electricity generation by the project. C.3. Reporting The specific steps for data collection and reporting are listed below: The exported and imported electricity measured by the main meter are aggregated once at 24:00 on 27th day in every month by Grid company and the project owner. After the monthly aggregated electricity being confirmed according to the readings from the backup meter by the wind farm, ETNs (Electricity Transaction Notes) and confirmation covering the exported and imported electricity in the corresponding periods are issued by the grid company accordingly, then the sales invoices are signed based on the ETNs. Periodical electricity sales invoices are used for double check. C.4. Emergency procedures Should any previous months reading of the main meter be inaccurate by more than the allowable error, or otherwise functioned improperly, the grid-connected electricity generated by the proposed project shall be determined by: First, by reading the backup meter, unless a test by either party reveals it is inaccurate; If the backup system is not with acceptable limits of accuracy or is otherwise performing improperly the proposed project owner and grid company shall jointly prepare an estimate of the correct reading; If the proposed project owner and the grid company fail to agree the estimate of the correct reading, then the matter will be referred for arbitration according to agreed procedures. C.5. Data management system Physical document such as paper-based maps, diagrams and environmental assessments are collected in a central place, together with this monitoring plan. In order to facilitate auditors reference of relevant literature relating to the project, the project material and monitoring results are indexed. All paperbased information are stored by the technology department of the project owner and all the material will have a copy for backup. And all data including calibration records is kept until 2 years after the end of the total credit time of the CDM project. SECTION D. Data and parameters D.1.

Project emissions calculation Being a wind power project, there are no project emissions according to the ACM0002 methodology. The diesel engine which is in place for emergency purpose has not been used during the monitoring period. There was no fossil fuel consumption by the project for electricity generation during the monitoring period. E.3. Leakage calculation According to ACM0002, the main indirect emissions potentially giving rise to leakage in the context of electric sector projects result from power plant construction, fuel handling(mining, processing, and transportation) and land inundation (for hydroelectric projects). The project developer does not need to consider such indirect emissions when applying the methodology. Project activities using this baseline methodology shall not claim any credit for the project on account of reducing these emissions below the level of the baseline scenario. The leakage from the project is zero. E.4.

11 E.6. Remarks on difference from estimated value In conclusion, from 28/05/2009 to 27/05/2010, just 1 year, the ERs accomplished is 65,651 tco 2 e, which is 78% of the estimated annual ER in PDD. According to the registered PDD, the estimated annual ERs is 84,130 tco 2 e. In comparison, they are 21.96% difference as the wind resource is variable. The actual emission reductions in this monitoring period are lower than the estimates in the registered PDD. SECTION F. Results of monitoring sustainable development indicator Fujian Environmental Protection Institute issued The Report for the Examination and Acceptance of Environmental Protection of Completed Project in November The report points out that Datang Zhangzhou Wind Power Co., Ltd carries out environmental protection measures including soil conservation, replantation, windbreak maintenance, pollution control, erosion control, etc. These environmental protection measures have been finished according to the requirements of the report and the approval of EIA. Newly built roads, temporary construction site and the seatings of wind turbines have been hardened, green trees have been restored, life garbage is cleaned-up and transported periodically, sewage treated by septic tanks is used for farmland, forest land. At the same time, the noise has no influence on local residents because the residents are far away from the wind turbines. F.1. Employment Employment (number): 66 persons were hired short-term for the construction of the wind farm and 11 persons were recruited long term for the operation and maintenance of the wind farm. Increase of employment (in number) as a result of the project is evident. The number of jobs created is different from what it stated in the GS Annex submitted for validation. It is because that at the validation stage, the project owner s answer about 300 jobs is the number of job opportunities that may be provided by the Liuao Wind Farm which includes three phases. The 45MW is the phase 2 project. It was a misunderstanding during validation. Having said that, the initial sustainable development assessment carried out during validation is not significantly affected by the difference in numbers. The project still has a very positive contribution to the sustainable development in the area. Not only jobs are created, employment quality is also quite high. Annual salary for the 11 persons mentioned above is 45,000yuan/person, which is much higher than Zhangzhou s average annual salary of 25,055 yuan in F.2. Replantation The environmental impacted by this project as per the EIA approved by the Environmental Protection Bureau of Fujian Province in November, 2005 is mainly occurred during the construction period except for the local ecological environment. For the project is built on the slopes along the seashore, the only protection manner is to replant around the wind turbines. Construction contract for replantation was signed on 20/09/2008 between the Datang Zhangzhou Wind Power Co., Ltd and Zhangpu County Forestry Bureau. The latter is commissioned by the former to carry out replantation at the lifting site of the 36 wind turbines (onshore windbreaks) in the first month of contract period and planted casuarina equisetifolia, pinus massoniana, lodgepole pine, etc. Zhangpu County Forestry Bureau was responsible for vegetation maintenance until the construction contract for replantation has been finished and accepted in October Datang Zhangzhou Wind Power Co., Ltd was responsible for the vegetation maintenance constantly and signed service contract for road

12 maintenance, flood control, typhoon prevention, reinforcement with Xiamen Fengsheng Trading Co., Ltd on 30/12/2009. Xiamen Fengsheng Trading Co., Ltd is responsible for the vegetation maintenance from 10/03/2010 to 09/03/2011. The below picture shows the replantation on the site. Figure 3: Replantation beside the wind turbines Figure 4: Replantation on the construction site F.3. Noise control It needs to be clarified that noise is not a monitoring parameter, though its impact is mentioned in the PDD. Furthermore, noise control is mainly for the construction period as per the approved EIA and not applied to the operational period. The project is built on the seashore, far away from the local residents, so the noise of the wind turbines is not an environmental impact during the operation period. At the same time, the noise of the wind turbines has little influence and complies with Acoustic environmental quality standards: GB according to the dates from the noise monitoring report issued by Fujian Environmental Monitoring Center.
