Work Ahead

Regarding CDM guidelines on Verification of PoAs. EB 55 – Annex 38 indicates: only a Designated Operational Entity (DOE, i.e. DNV, TUV Sued, TUV

Rheinland, etc.), who has not performed validation/inclusion/renewal of crediting period activities for the PoA shall process verification.

BEE is requesting to allow the same DOE to perform several functions (inclusion, verification, etc.).

request for issuance shall relate to all CPAs included in the PoA during the specified monitoring period.

BEE is requesting to change language and intention for requests shall relate to all CPAs implemented by the same operator [Implementer/Investor] that are included in the PoA during the specified monitoring period.

Regarding implementation. Sharing of experience in the implementation and verification process between BEE, DISCOMs and Implementers will benefit of all parties; hence, the request to BEE to facilitate such exchange.
