Executive Summary Validation Opinion

The validation team assigned by the DOE (TV Rheinland (China) Ltd.), here after called TRC, is been
assigned by PT Tirta Gemah Ripah to perform the validation of their project 8MW Cirompang Mini Hydro
Power Plants at Bungbulang, Garut, Indonesia. The validation was performed on the basis of UNFCCC criteria
for the Clean Development Mechanism. The scope of the validation is defined as an independent and objective
review of the project design document, the projects baseline study and monitoring plan and other relevant
documents. The information in these documents is reviewed against CDM Validation and Verification Manual
(Version 01.2), Kyoto Protocol requirements, CDM Executive Board/UNFCCC rules.
The report is based on the assessment of the project design document undertaken through stakeholder
consultations, application of standard auditing techniques including but not limited to document reviews, site
visit, stakeholder interviews, review of the applicable methodology and its underlying formulae and
calculations.
Validation methodology and process
The validation has been performed as described in the VVM version 01.2 and constitutes the following steps:
- Publication of the PDD on the UNFCCC website (09th December 2011 to 07th January 2012)
- Desk review of the PDD and the relevant documents
- On-site assessment (04th to 06th January 2012)
- Issuance of Validation Report
Validation criteria
The following CDM requirements have been considered:
- Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol,
- Modalities and procedures for CDM (Marrakech Accords)
- Subsequent decisions by the COP/MOP and CDM Executive Board
- Host country criteria
- Criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting.
The host part is Indonesia and the Annex I country is Kingdom of Sweden. Both parties fulfil the participation
criteria and have approved and authorized the project and the project participants. The DNA from Indonesia
confirms that the project assists in achieving sustainable development.
The project correctly applies the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-I.D., version 17.0, Grid
connected renewable electricity generation.
The project results in reductions of CO2 emissions that are real, measurable and give long-term benefits to the
mitigation of climate change. It is demonstrated that the project is not a likely baseline scenario. Emission
reductions attributable to the project are hence additional to any that would occur in the absence of the project
activity.
The validation did not reveal any information that indicates that the project can be seen as a diversion of ODA
funding towards Indonesia.
The monitoring plan provides for the monitoring of the projects emission reductions. The monitoring
arrangements described in the monitoring plan are feasible within the project design and it is TRCs opinion that
the project participants are able to implement the monitoring plan.
By utilizing hydropower technology for grid-connected renewable power generation, the project activity will
result in reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are real, measurable and give long-term benefits to
the mitigation of climate change.
The total emission reductions from the project are estimated to be 338,470 t of CO2e over a 10-year crediting
period, averaging 33,847 t of CO2e annually. The emission reduction forecast has been checked and it is
deemed likely that the stated amount is achieved given the underlying assumptions do not alter.
The validation protocol describes a total of 25 findings which include:
16 Corrective Action Requests (CARs);
8 Clarification Requests (CLs);
1 Forward Action Requests (FARs); and all findings have been closed satisfactorily.
Rev No.: 01 ( 01/11/2011)

TRC concludes that the CDM Project Activity 8MW Cirompang Mini Hydro Power Plants at Bungbulang,
Garut, Indonesia in Indonesia, as described in the PDD (version 2.1, dated 25 May 2012), meets all relevant
requirements of the UNFCCC for CDM project activities including article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, the
modalities and procedures for CDM (Marrakesh Accords) and the subsequent decisions by the COP/MOP and
CDM Executive Board.
The selected baseline and monitoring methodologies (AMS-I.D., Version 17) are applicable to the project and
correctly applied. The TRC therefore requests the registration of the project as a CDM project activity with
UNFCCC.

1. Introduction:
The organization PT Tirta Gemah Ripah has commissioned the DOE TV Rheinland (China) Ltd. to perform
a validation of the CDM Project Activity 8MW Cirompang Mini Hydro Power Plants at Bungbulang, Garut,
Indonesia in Indonesia (hereafter called the project). This report summarises the findings of the validation of
the project, performed on the basis of UNFCCC criteria for the CDM, as well as criteria given to provide for
consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting. The term UNFCCC criteria refers to Article 12 of the
Kyoto Protocol, the CDM modalities and procedures or the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale
CDM project activities (as applicable) and the subsequent decisions by the CDM Executive Board.
1.1.
Objective
The purpose of a validation is to have an independent third party assess the project design. In particular, the
project's baseline, monitoring plan, and the projects compliance with relevant UNFCCC and host Party criteria
are validated in order to confirm that the project design, as documented, is sound and reasonable and meets the
identified criteria. Validation is a requirement for all CDM projects and is seen as necessary to provide
assurance to stakeholders of the quality of the project and its intended generation of certified emission
reductions (CERs).
1.2.
Scope
The validation scope is defined as an independent and objective review of the project design document (PDD).
The PDD is reviewed against the relevant criteria (see above) and decisions by the CDM Executive Board,
including the approved baseline and monitoring methodology. The validation team has, based on the
recommendations in the Validation and Verification Manual employed (latest version) a risk-based approach,
focusing on the identification of significant risks for project implementation and the generation of CERs.
The validation is not meant to provide any consulting towards the project participants. However, stated requests
for clarifications and/or corrective actions may have provided input for improvement of the project design.

2.3 Resolution of Outstanding Issues:

The objective of this phase of the validation is to resolve any outstanding issues which need be clarified prior to
TV Rheinlands positive conclusion on the project design. In order to ensure transparency a validation
protocol is customised for the project. The protocol shows in transparent manner criteria (requirements), means
of verification and the results from validating the identified criteria. The validation protocol serves the following
purposes:
It organises, details and clarifies the requirements a CDM project is expected to meet;
It ensures a transparent validation process where the validator will document how a particular
requirement has been validated and the result of the validation.
The validation protocol consists of three tables. The different columns in these tables are described in the figure
below. The completed validation protocol for this project is enclosed in Appendix A to this report.
Findings established during the validation can either be seen as a non-fulfilment of CDM criteria or where a risk
to the fulfilment of project objectives is identified. Corrective action requests (CAR) are issued, where:
Mistakes have been made with a direct influence on project results;
CDM and/or methodology specific requirements have not been met; or
There is a risk that the project would not be accepted as a CDM project or that emission reductions will
not be certified.
A request for clarification (CL) may be used where additional information is needed to fully clarify an issue.
A forward action request (FAR) is raised during validation to highlight issues related to project implementation
that require review during the first verification of the project activity. FARs shall not relate to the CDM
requirements for registration.

3.1 Approval and Participation

According to the PDD, the project is a CDM project which involves two project participants: PT Tirta Gemah
Ripah from the host party, Indonesia; and Nordic Environment Finance Corporation NEFCO in its capacity as

3.3 Project Description:

The proposed project 8MW Cirompang Mini Hydro Power Plants at Bungbulang is a run-of-river
hydroelectric power plant being developed by PT. Tirta Gemah Ripah (TGR) in Garut district, West Java
Province, Indonesia. According to the PDD, the geographical coordinates of the dam and powerhouse are
indicated as below:

The project involves construction of a new hydropower plant at an existing dam which mainly consists of a
companion channel at Cirompang River, a diversion tunnel, and a hydropower house /11/. The total installed
capacity of the hydroelectric plant is 8MW.
The project consists of 4 units of water turbines with the unit capacity of 2 MW /11, page 42/, /27/. Thus the
total installed capacity of the hydropower plant is 8 MW. An EPC was signed with PT. Hutama Karya on 4
August 2011 to construct the whole project including engineering, planning, project design, procurement,
constructing, testing, commissioning and interconnection to the grid of PLN /23/. The key equipments of the
project are imported from India with foreign technology transfer (supplier: Jyoti ltd. Vadodara) /27/. In addition,
the validation team also validated the Investment Approval Number: 503/1564/KPM from the Regent of Garut
/8/, approval of UKL-UPL (Environment Analysis) on Cirompang Mini hydro power plant /10/ from
Environment management Division of Garut Regency, PPA between PT. PLN (Persero) and PT. Tirta Gemah
Ripah on 21 November 2011 /26/ to confirm the installed capacity of 8 MW.
The load factor is indicated in FSR as 68.77%. This Plant Load Factor is calculated by the qualified engineering
consultation company PT. Chandripa Tirta Energia /13/ that designed the FSR of the proposed project /11/. The
value of Plant Load Factor of 68.77% is also confirmed by PT. Chandripa Tirta Energia via a separate
confirmation letter /12/, and is considered acceptable as per Guidelines for the Reporting and Validation of
Plant Load Factors /B14/.
The project activity is constructed at an existing reservoir and dam on River Cirompang. The project participant
has signed an agreement with GP3A (Association of farmers) /24/ for using the water from river Cirompang for
power generation. There will be no modification done by the project owner in existing reservoir and dam for use
of water for power generation. Thus the project activity is implemented in an existing reservoir with no change
in the volume of reservoir.
The annual net electricity generation from the project is 47,471 MWh. The electricity generated from the project
activity is expected to substitute the power supply from the Jamali national power grid which is mainly
composed of fossil fuel-fired power generation. The expected GHG emission reductions of the project activity
are 33,847 tCO2e annually during the 10-year fixed crediting period.
According to the project participant, the grid connection was agreed by PLN via the first power purchase
agreement (PPA) signed with PLN (2MW) on 28th June 2010 /7/. According to the PDD, the project will supply
electricity to the national grid via 20 kV transmission line /11, page 40/.
The CER buyer NEFCO has signed the CDM Emission Reductions Purchase Agreement with TGR.
During the on-site visit, the construction of companion channel is in progress. The construction of powerhouse
has not yet started. The management representative of the project participant stated that the project construction
is anticipated to be completed by March 2013. It was also understood that TGR will be responsible for
organizing the necessary training for the operation, maintenance and monitoring procedures of CDM
implementation. He stated that since the project was still in the preliminary stage, the technical training and
CDM trainings were not yet started. The CDM trainings will be carried out by the manufacturer and CDM
consultancy company respectively before the project commissioning. The details about the emergency
procedure and training requirements for monitoring are provided in section B.7.2 of the revised PDD. Moreover,
the project participant stated that the CDM training will be conducted prior to the start of the crediting period.
According to the PDD, a fixed crediting period of 10 years is selected. The starting date of project activity,
which was based on the date of the EPC contract, was on 04th August 2011 /23/.

It revealed that the project participant has commissioned PT. Chandripa Tirta Energia, a qualified engineering
consultation company, to conduct FSR in November 2010. The project participant confirmed that no real action
was taken to implement the project prior to 04 August 2011 (project starting date as indicated in the web-hosted
PDD). The detailed timeline for the project activity since 2010 till the real action taken as the starting date of
project activity (i.e. 04 August 2011) has been updated in section B.5. of the final PDD. From timeline as well
as supporting documents /6/, /7/, /8/, /9/, /10/, /11/, /14/, /15/, /16/, /17/, /19/, /23, /34/ and /35/, it is substantiated
that the project participant has proceeded for approval from authority for investment into the proposed project
since 2010, and negotiated for compensation for land acquisition since January 2011 till April 2012. It can be
concluded that there was no real action of project activity before 04 August 2011. Thus, the validation team is
able to confirm that 04 August 2011, i.e. the signed date of the EPC contract, is the earliest date among these
real actions of the project.
The starting date of the first crediting period will be expected to be started on 1st March 2013. According to the
PDD section C.1.2., the expected operational lifetime of equipment will be 20 years based on the information of
FSR. With full operational time of 365 days per year and production hour of 24 hour per day, the annual full
operating time is 8,760 hours. This is considered appropriate according to the requirement of Tool to determine
the remaining lifetime of equipment (EB 50 Annex 15), in which the project lifetime for hydro turbines is
150,000 hours, i.e. (150,000/8,760) years ~ 17 years. It is noted that the plant load factor of the project activity
is 68.77%. That means the project activity will not always operate in full capacity due to the fluctuation of
hydro resource. If the plant load factor is taken into account, the project lifetime for hydro turbines will be 24.9
years (150,000 hours/8,760/68.77%). Thus, the value of operational lifetime of equipment of 20 years is in the
range and acceptable.

Thus the validation team considers that the applicability criteria for the baseline methodology has been correctly
applied for the project activity.
According to Guidelines on assessment of debundling for SSC project activities (Version 03), the validation
team has validated that the project is not deemed to be a debundled component of a large scale project. The
validation criteria are stated below:
According to the information from UNFCCC, there is no registered small-scale CDM project activity or any
application to register another CDM small-scale CDM project activity by the project participants, i.e. TGR
within the previous two years with the same project category and technology within 1 km of the project
boundary of the project activity. As stated by the project developer, the project activity obtains the diverted
water for power generation from the existing reservoir on Cirompang River. This is the only one hydro power
plant on this river. The project participant also reported that this is the first hydropower project invested by
TGR. Therefore, the project activity is not deemed to be a debundled component of a large project activity.
The assessment of the projects compliance with the applicability criteria of the methodology AMS-I.D, Version
17 as documented in the PDD part B and annex 3, which are evaluated in detail under the validation protocol in
Appendix A to this report based from the webhosted PDD.
3.4.2 Project Boundary:

During the on-site visit, the project construction is under progress. The project participant stated that the project
construction was started by August 2011 /23/. According to approved methodology AMS-I.D./Version 17, the
spatial extent of the project boundary includes the power plants that are physically connected through
transmission and distribution lines to the project activity, i.e. power plants to the Jamali Grid. There is no
significant transmission constraint between the power plants of the Jamali Grid. The PPA signed with PLN, the
owner of Jamali Grid, on 28th June 2010 /7/, and amended on 21st November 2011 /26, allows the connection
from the power plant to Jamali Grid.
The geographical and physical project boundary of the project activity was determined by the validation team
during the on-site assessment. The coordinates were correctly documented in the PDD. The sources and sinks of
greenhouse gas identified in the PDD are deemed to be appropriate. The coordinates were confirmed by the
validation team through Global Positioning System (GPS).
The system boundary and the selected sources and gases are justified transparently and are presented as below:.

As per AMS-I.D./Version 17, the project missions
are negligible as there is no new reservoir for the
project activity. The project activity is
implemented in the existing reservoir, owned by
Garut Regency and would not cause change in the
volume of reservoir.
--
Since the project activity is a new hydropower

project and the energy generating equipment is not
transferred from another activity, leakage is thus
considered negligible as per AMS-I.D./Version 17.
In summary, the project boundary was correctly identified in accordance with the methodology AMS-I.D.,
Version 17. All greenhouse gas emissions occurring within the proposed project activity boundary as a result of
the implementation of the proposed CDM project activity have been appropriately addressed in the PDD.
The identified project boundary and selected sources of emissions are justified for the project activity. The
validation of the project activity did not reveal other greenhouse gas emissions occurring within the proposed
CDM project activity boundary as a result of the implementation of the proposed project activity which are
expected to contribute more than 1% of the overall expected average annual emission reduction, with respect to
the methodology applied.
3.4.3 Baseline Identification:

The project activity is the installation of a new grid-connected renewable hydropower plant. According to the
applied methodology AMS-I.D./Version 17, the baseline scenario is prescribed as:
The baseline scenario is the electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity that otherwise would have
been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources.
The baseline emissions are the product of electrical energy baseline EGBL,y expressed in MWh of electricity
produced by the renewable generating unit multiplied by an emission factor, which can be calculated in a
transparent and conservative manner as a combined margin (CM) according to the procedures prescribed in the
latest Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system.

3.4.4 GHG Emission Reductions:

The GHG emission reduction calculations are transparently documented in the ER calculation spreadsheet /31/.
The GHG emissions calculations are documented and assumptions regarding expected amount of electricity
generated have been used to forecast the emission reductions.
According to the selected methodology AMS-I.D., Version 17 for grid-connected renewable electricity
generation and the latest Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system, Version 02.2.1, the
emission reductions (ERy) by the project during the crediting period is the difference between the baseline
emissions (BEy), project emissions (PEy) and leakage emissions (LEy), which is expressed as follows:
ERy = BEy PEy LEy
The assumptions, formulas, parameters and values used in the context of the project activity are complete,
accurate, transparent and conservative.

Baseline Emissions
As per paragraph 11 of the methodology AMS-I.D., Version 17, the baseline emissions are calculated as the
product of electrical energy baseline EGBL, y expressed in MWh of electricity produced by the renewable
generating unit multiplied by the grid emission factor.
BE y = EGBL , y * EFCO2 , grid , y

The baseline emission factor (EFgrid,CM,y) for the project, using the combined margin (CM) approach, is fixed exante during the first crediting period. According to AMS-I.D., Version 17 and the linked tools, the default
weights for the proposed project are 50% for OM and 50% for BM for the first crediting period, and 25% for
OM and 75% for BM for the second and third crediting period.
The validation team has crosschecked the data and calculation listed in Section B.6 of the PDD. It is found that
the OM and BM data are provided by the Directorate General Electricity and Energy Utilization (DJLPE,
Direktorat Jenderal Listrik dan Pemanfaatan Energi) (Indonesian DNA) /45/, /30/
The validation team also checked the PDD, and the grid information applied in the calculation of emission
factor via the Indonesia DNAs webpage. In order to calculate OM emission factor, Average OM method has
been chosen as low cost/must run resources constitute more than 50% of total grid generation.
The Average OM emission factor is calculated as per Option A of the Tool /30/. BM emission factor is
calculated for the group of power capacity additions that have been built most recently and comprise 20% of the
system electricity generation as it has the larger annual generation than the group of five power units that have
been built most recently.
Rev No.: 01 ( 01/11/2011)

01 997 9105067713
The raw data on power generation as well as the calculation was provided by the report /30/ and listed in
Section B.6.1. and Annex 3 of the final PDD /2/. The simple OM emission factor is calculated as 0.711
tCO2e/MWh and the BM emission factor as 0.715 tCO2e/MWh.
The calculation of EFgrid,CM is as below:
EFgrid,CM = 0.50.711+0.50.715 = 0.713 (tCO2e/MWh)
The validation team has crosschecked the data listed in Annex 3 of the final PDD /2/ and the calculation
spreadsheet /30/, and confirmed consistent. The emission reductions due to the project activity were estimated
ex-ante to be 33,847 tCO2e per year in the final PDD /2/. The provided baseline data is thus confirmed to be the
most recent data available at the time of submission of the PDD to the DOE for validation (i.e. December 2011),
for the ex-ante estimation of emission reductions.
In summary, the baseline emission factor (EFgrid,CM) of the project activity is 0.713 tCO2e/MWh.
Thus baseline emission is estimated as 33,847 tCO2 per year.
Project emissions
As per paragraph 20 of approved methodology AMS-I.D. (Version-17, EB- 61), the calculation of project
emissions of hydropower project will follow the procedures described in the most recent version of ACM0002.
According to ACM0002, there are two components to be considered, i.e. emission from (i) fossil fuel
consumption (PEFF,y) and (ii) the reservoir (PEHP,y).
The project emission for the project activity will be
PEy = PEHP,y + PEFF,y
Where:
PEHP,y - Emission from reservoir
PEFF,y - Emission from fossil fuel consumption in year y. It is the emission from diesel generator which will be
used in emergency purposes and it is calculated by Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emission from
fossil fuel consumption.
For emissions from fossil fuel consumption (PEFF,y)
Through on-site interviews with the project participant /I01/, it was revealed that diesel backup generators
would be used in unplanned emergency such as both the cut-off of electricity supply from the national grid and
the hydropower plant. The project participant will calculate project emissions from the back-up diesel generator
based on the actual diesel consumption. The consumption of diesel is monitored and the project emissions will
be calculated according to Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion
/B18/. Due to the emergency back-up purpose, the annual consumption amount of diesel fuel is expected to be
very limited, thus the project emissions from fossil fuel consumption can be neglected in ex-ante estimation.
For emissions from the reservoir (PEHP,y)
The project activity does not result in new reservoirs or an increase in area of the existing reservoir. The
reservoir involved in the project activity is a Garut Regency-owned reservoir as part of the irrigation
development works; the modification of the reservoir is beyond the project participants control and not related
to the project activity. Thus the project emissions (PEHP,y) are considered as negligible. Thus PEHP,y = 0.
Thus, PEy = PEFF,y + PEHP,y = 0
The following project emissions have been included and excluded from the project emissions estimation
including the validation teams conclusion:

Included project emission source
Validation teams conclusion
CO2 emissions from fossil fuel consumption (PEFF,y)
As the project activity will use diesel backup

generators in unplanned emergency such as both the
cut-off of electricity supply from the national grid and
the hydropower plant, this emission is included.
This is conservative and appropriate for the project
scenario
Excluded project emission source
Validation teams conclusion
CO2 emissions from the reservoir (PEHP,y)
The project activity is implemented at an existing

reservoir, and the project would not cause change in
the volume of reservoir. This is confirmed during the
on site visit and interview with the project owner /I01/
and review of approval of UKL-UPL (Environment
Analysis) on Cirompang Mini hydro power plant /10/
from Environment management Division of Garut
Regency, and Agreement between the project
participant with GP3A DI Cirompang /24/ dated 11th
August 2011 for using the water from river Cirompang
for power generation.
This is appropriate for the project scenario.
According to the Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emission from fossil fuel consumption, Version 01
/B18/, the project emission of the project activity is estimated as below:
PEFC,j,y = FCi,j y
COEF
i,y
COEFi,y = NCVi,y EFCO2,i,y

Where:

Thus project emission of the project activity is estimated as 0 tCO2 for ex-ante calculation.
Leakage emissions
Leakage is considered as negligible in accordance with AMS-I.D., Version 17, and hence can be assumed as
zero.
Rev No.: 01 ( 01/11/2011)
Page 27
Validation Report
01 997 9105067713
While the project emissions & leakage emissions are zero, baseline emissions (BEy) are equal to the emission
reductions (ERy) due to the project activity and have been estimated to be 33,847 tCO2e per year in the PDD,
based on an ex-post baseline emission factor of 0.713 tCO2e/MWh /45/.
ERy = BEy = EGBL,y x EFgrid,CM,y
The emission reductions due to the project activity were estimated ex-ante to be 33,847 tCO2e per year.
In summary, the calculation of emission reductions was correctly demonstrated by the PP according to the
methodology AMS-I.D., Version 17 and its tool Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system,
Version 02.2.1 /B19/. The table below summaries validation teams determination of emission reduction:

3.5 Additionality :
The project additionality was assessed by the validation team using the approach given below for complying
with;
1) Simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale clean development mechanism project activities /B15/
2) Attachment A to Appendix B of the Simplified Modalities and Procedures for small-scale CDM project
activities /B5/
3) CDM Validation and Verification Manual, EB 55, Annex 1, Version 01.2 /B1/
4) Non-binding best practice examples to demonstrate additionality for SSC project activities EB35, Annex 34
/B8/
The project activitys additionality has been assessed in the PDD under Section B.5, according to Simplified
modalities and procedures for small-scale clean development mechanism project activities /B15/ and
Attachment A to Appendix B of the simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small Scale CDM project
activities /B5/.
This was in line with the requirement stated in the methodology, AMS-I.D. version 17 /B17/.
The project participant has selected project IRR as the financial indicator to demonstrate the investment barrier
of the project activity. The validation team considers this financial indicator selected to be appropriate for the
project.
The investment analysis is applied in accordance to Guidelines on the Assessment of Investment Analysis
(EB 62, Annex 5, version 05) /B12/.
The validation team was able to verify that CDM has been introduced and considered prior to the starting of the
project activity.
In conclusion, the assessment of the arguments presented in the PDD has been sufficient to demonstrate that the
proposed project activity is not likely the baseline scenario and the emission reductions resulting from the
project activity are additional.
The following sections described the validation details of project activitys additionality by the validation team.
3.5.1 CDM consideration:

According to the CDM Validation and Verification Manual paragraph 96 /B1/, if the project activity starting
date is prior to the date of publication of PDD for stakeholder comments it shall be demonstrated that the CDM
benefits were considered necessary in the decision to undertake the project as a proposed CDM project activity.
For this project activity, during on site interviews, its reveled that the first business license was granted on 10th
November 2009. The PDD stated that the notification letter about prior CDM consideration was sent to DNA
Indonesia on 08th March 2011 /16/ and to UNFCCC on 09th March 2011 /17/. The project starting date was
04th August 2011 when the EPC contract was signed /6/.
According to Guidelines on the Demonstration and Assessment of Prior Consideration of the CDM version 04
EB 62 /B13/, for project activities with a starting date on or after 2nd August 2008, the project participant must
inform a host party DNA and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity
and of their intention to seek CDM status. Such notification must be made within six months of the project
activity starting date using the standardized form F-CDM-Prior Consideration.
It is applicable to the project activity since the project starting date (i.e. 04th August 2011, the date when the
EPC contract was signed) was after 2nd August 2008, therefore notifications to host party DNA and the
UNFCCC were required. As reported in the Section B.5 of the PDD, the project participant submitted an official
letter to the Indonesia DNA on 08th March 2011 /16/ and to UNFCCC on 09th March 2011 /17/.
The notification of CDM status to UNFCCC was in five month prior to the project activity starting date.
Therefore the requirements in the Demonstration and Assessment of Prior Consideration of the CDM are
complied, and the adequacy of CDM prior consideration compliance is demonstrated for the project activity.
It is TV Rheinland validation team opinion that the proposed CDM project activity complies with the
requirements of the latest version of the guidance on prior consideration of CDM.
The timeline for the project activity is detailed as below:

In conclusion, the staring dates of the project activity were after 02 August 2008, the proposed project activity is
defined as an new project activity. As per the Guidelines on the demonstration and assessment of prior
consideration of the CDM/B13/, the project participant must inform a Host Party designated national
authority (DNA) and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of
their intention to seek CDM status. Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start
date and shall contain the precise geographical location and a brief description of the proposed project activity.
The project participant has sent notifications to DNA and UNFCCC and the validation team confirmed that it is
valid and acceptable. Based on the documented evidence as described above, it is clearly demonstrated that the
CDM was seriously considered by the project owners prior to starting dates of the project activity.
3.5.2 Alternatives:
The methodologies AMS-I.D, version 17 /B17/ does not require the analysis of baseline alternatives. Further, as
per paragraph 28 of the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM project activities /B15/, a
simplified baseline and monitoring methodology listed in appendix B may be used for a small-scale CDM
project activity if project participants are able to demonstrate to the validation team that the project activity
would otherwise not be implemented due to the existence of one or more barrier(s) listed in Attachment A of
Appendix B /B5/.
TV Rheinland validation team considers the selected baseline is credible and complete.
3.5.3 Investment analysis:

The Investment Analysis has been assessed for compliance with the latest version (05) of the Guidance on the
Assessment of Investment Analysis. /B12/
According to Attachment A to Appendix B of the Indicative simplified baseline and monitoring methodologies
for selected small-scale CDM project activity categories /B5/, the project participants have chosen investment
barrier in order to demonstrate the additionality of the project.
At the time of decision making, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) analysis was conducted based on inputs
values taken from approved FSR /11/ with the Debt / Equity ratio of 70/30. This can be demonstrated that the
loan has also been considered at the time of the investment decision, considering the fact that the financial plan
included bank loan.
It is appropriate and in accordance with the Guidelines on the assessment of investment analysis (Version 05)
/B12/, paragraph 6, Input values used in all investment analysis should be valid and applicable at the time of
the investment decision taken by the PP.
A complete account of how the parameters used in Investment Analysis are validated and cross-checked in
accordance to VVM articles 110 - 111 have been conducted with traceable information from registered CDM
projects and other independent sources.
3.5.3.1 Choice of approach:

According to the Attachment A to Appendix B of the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale
CDM project activities /B5/ as referred to the General Guidelines to SSC CDM methodologies version 17
/B7/ and the Guidelines on the Assessment of Investment Analysis (Version 5, EB62 Annex 5) /B12/, the
benchmark analysis was selected by the project participant when conducting the projects financial assessment.
The selection of benchmark analysis is justified in considering that, other than the CDM revenue, the project
activity would generate revenue through the sale of electricity to the national grid company. The benchmark
approach is considered appropriate, since the baseline scenario does not require investment or is out of the direct
control of the project developer. This is also complied with the requirement in the article 19 of the Guidelines
on the assessment of investment analysis. The project participant has selected project IRR as the financial
indicator. The validation team considers this financial indicator selected to be appropriate for the project, since
Rev No.: 01 ( 01/11/2011)
Page 31
Validation Report
01 997 9105067713
the project will be financed 70% loan & 30% equity capital. In addition to this, the baseline scenario also
reveals that the continuation of the current situation - electricity will continue to be imported from the grid,
which is outside the direct control of the project participant. Hence, the choice for the project participant is
restricted to invest or not to invest. The validation team concludes that the benchmark approach is the most
suited as defined in the Guidelines on the Assessment of Investment Analysis, Version 05, EB 62, Annex 5,
article 19 /B12/.
In order to assess the claim from the project participant that the project scenario is not economically feasible
without benefits from CER sales, the validation team adopted the following approach:
Benchmark selection: Determining the suitability of the benchmark applied for the type of financial indicator
presented:
According to the Guidelines on the Assessment of Investment Analysis, Version 05, EB 62, Annex 5,
/B12/ article 12, Local commercial lending rates or weighted average costs of capital (WACC) are
appropriate benchmarks for a project IRR.
As noted in the PDD, an investment barrier analysis is carried out through applying benchmark analysis
method, which is mainly based on the comparison between project IRR and the benchmark estimated
from weighted average costs of capital (WACC). The project participant has selected WACC as the
benchmark.
According to interview with the management representative of PP, the project activity is the first
hydropower project owned by TGR, thus there is no past financial behavior or internal company
benchmark of the project participant in relations to similar projects.
Input parameters: Conducting an assessment of parameters and assumptions used in calculating the financial
indicator and determining the accuracy & suitability of parameters, the validation team has considered the
following evidence to support the investment decision timing i.e. Board resolution to undertake the project
activity under CDM, dated 10 December 2010 /14/.
For the purpose of validating the financial input parameters, the validation team has considered the investment
decision date, 10 December 2010 in order to validate the consistency, appropriateness of the input values with
this timing & consistency of the listed input values application in the financial calculation spreadsheet.
It is noted that the FSR /11/ has been the basis of the decision to proceed with the investment in the project, i.e.
that the period of time between the decision making of the project participant to invest into project activity, 10
December 2010, /14/ and the final FSR, November 2010, /11/ is about one months. It is sufficiently short for the
validation team to confirm that it is unlikely in the context of the underlying project activity that the input values
would have materially changed.
The profitability estimates of the project, which forms the basis for IRR calculation is based on plant capacity,
Plant Load Factor, Electricity price, Operation & Maintenance Costs, interest, depreciation, taxation.
The validation team had reviewed the following input values used in the financial calculation through
review of sources presented in the PDD Section B.5 & financial calculation spreadsheet. The project is

The validation team checked the research Estimating Risk Free

Rates by Dr. Aswath Damodaran of Stern School of Business,
New York University page 6. It is advised that When doing
investment analysis on longer term projects or valuation, the risk
free rate should be the long term government bond rate. Hence
bonds having a maturity period of 10 years or more are selected
from the source INDONESIA BOND MARKET DIRECTORY
2011 /50/ for the calculation. The value of 8.71% for risk free
rate is conservative, as the benchmark of WACC will become
25.4 %, higher than 22.7%, if using default value from Guidelines
on the Assessment of Investment Analysis, Version 05, EB 62,
Annex 5 /B12/. Thus, the Risk free rate of 8.71 % of project
activity is conservative and acceptable.

Financial calculation and conclusion

The financial analysis is in accordance with the Simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale clean
development mechanism project activities /B15/ and the Guidelines on the Assessment of Investment
Analysis, Version 05, EB 62, Annex 5, /B12/. All input parameters used in the IRR calculation were valid at
the time of investment decision making. The validation team confirms that the project IRR post tax without any
CDM revenue works out to be 15.06% which is below benchmark of 22.7%.
The investment analysis has been calculated over the period of 20 years which is in line with the Guidelines on
the assessment of investment analysis /B12/.

According to the Guidelines on the Assessment of Investment Analysis, Version 05, EB 62, Annex 5, /B12/,
only variables including the initial investment cost, that constitute more than 20% of either total project costs or
total project revenues should be subjected to reasonable variation and the results of this variation should be
presented in the PDD and be reproducible in the associated spreadsheets. The validation team thus confirms that
the following parameters meet the requirement and these parameters have been subjected to variations in the

accepted by the DOE.
3.5.4 Barrier analysis

Not considered in this project
3.5.5 Common practice analysis

According to the approved monitoring methodology AMS-I.D./ Version 17, there is no requirement for common
practice analysis. The project participant does not carry out the common practice analysis in the PDD.
3.5.6 Conclusion of assessment of Additionality

The CDM was seriously considered by the PP. The evidences were transparently reviewed by the validation
team and considered to be effective. Investment analysis and sensitivity analysis clearly demonstrate that the
proposed project activity is financially unattractive. Therefore, the proposed project activity is not business-asusual, i.e. the proposed project activity is additional.
3.6 Monitoring
The project activity applies the approved monitoring methodology AMS-I.D.: Grid connected renewable
electricity generation, Version 17. The selected monitoring methodology is applicable to the project activity as it
utilizes hydropower technology for grid-connected renewable power generation
It has been assessed that the project correctly addresses all factors required by the methodology as provided in
the most recent PDD guidelines /02/. The project monitoring plan is in compliance with the monitoring
methodology AMS-I.D (version 17).
The project participant stated that the CDM training will be carried out before the project operation. The CDM
training plan is not yet available. Thus the validation team cannot conclude that whether the project participant
is capable to implement the monitoring plan as the relevant training program arrangement is not available. DOE
request to address this issue during verification.
See FAR01, Table 3
The validation concludes that the monitoring arrangements described in the monitoring plan are feasible & the
project participants are capable to implement the monitoring plan effectively parameters determined ex-ante as

Quantity of fossil fuel consumption(diesel) in project activity in a year
Net calorific value of the fossil fuel (i) (diesel) combusted in the project
activity during the year y.
Density of fossil fuel diesel combusted in the project activity
These parameters have been described in the monitoring plan, in which the parameter EGfacility,y will be
measured by the meter systems at the connection point. The main electricity meter for establishing the
electricity delivered to the grid will be installed at the project site using a Metering System that is approved by
PLN. This electricity meter provides the main data for electricity invoicing. The data of net electricity export
will be measured continuously and recorded at least monthly, in which this fulfills the methodology
requirement. The metering systems will be comply with PPA between PT. PLN and PT. TGR for PLTM
Cirompang, dated 28th June 2010 /7/. The accuracy class is 0.2s for main meters. Calibrations are carried out
for the monitoring meters by metrologi association /7, page 18/ at least once per year.
The quantity of fuel combusted FCi,j,y will be be monitored continuously and aggregated monthly, and can be
crosschecked with the fuel purchased invoices.
Weighted average net calorific value of diesel in year y NCVi,y and weighted average CO2 emission factor of
fuel type i in year y EFCO2,i,y will be determined as IPCC 2006 default values of fuel combusted at the upper
limit of the uncertainty at a 95% confidence interval as provided in Table 1.2 of Chapter 1 of Vol. 2 (Energy) of
the 2006 IPCC Guidelines on National GHG Inventories.
Density of fossil fuel diesel combusted in the project activity diesel is taken from regional values available
Project emissions from fossil fuel combustion PEFC,j,y will be calculated based on the quantity of fuel combusted
FCi,j,y multiplying to CO2 emission factor of fuel type.
The GHG indicators, parameters, monitoring methods, frequencies and measurement equipments are acceptable.
The monitoring of emission reductions generated by the project activity will be carried out systematically
according to the monitoring plan. It has been assessed that all parameters required by the methodology have
been included in the PDD under Section B.7.1
The calibration, maintenance of measurement, and monitoring equipments are subjected to procedure
established by the equipment manufacturers.
In summary, the validation team is convinced of compliance of the monitoring plan with the requirements of the
monitoring methodology AMS-I.D Version 17 /B17/. During the on-site assessment, the validation team
interviewed the PP that the monitoring arrangements described in the monitoring plan are feasible within the
project design. The emission reductions resulting from the proposed CDM project activity can be reported ex
post and verified.
3.6.3 Management system and quality assurance

The DOE validation team has assessed the proposed management system and how does the quality will be
assured in the proposed project activity. The outline of the operational procedure was briefly described in the
Rev No.: 01 ( 01/11/2011)
Page 51
Validation Report
01 997 9105067713
PDD. The operational procedure will be updated by the project participant as required during the operation of
the project activity. The monitoring and recording of the required parameters will be carried out by trained
personnel.
All measurements will rely upon calibrated measurement equipment that will be maintained regularly and
checked for its functioning which will meet the minimum requirement of the methodology.
Hence, all indicators of importance for controlling and reporting of projects performance have been
incorporated in the monitoring plan as well as indicated in the planned formal set of monitoring protocol and
work instructions.
The validation team has also reviewed the Management and operational structure for monitoring in the PDD
/02/ & has been confirmed that the designated personnel & their responsibility has been defined clearly with
respect to the key monitoring features.
The application of the monitoring methodology is transparent and the validation team considers the project
participants able to implement the monitoring plan.
3.7 Sustainable Development

The project is considered to be contributing to sustainable development in the host country (Indonesia), by
utilizing the hydro energy for electricity power generation, and mitigating the environmental pollution caused
by operation of fossil fuel-fired power plants. Several more benefits would be expected by implementation of
the project activity, which includes improvement in the local economy & overall social development.
The project participant has submitted an Environment Management (UKL) and Environment Planning(UPL)
Procedure to Badan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup, Pemerintaah Kabupaten Garut (Local Government
Environment Department) for approval /10/ on 2nd September 2010.
The validation team concluded that the project contributes to sustainable development based on its local
expertise and the confirmation of the same from the host party DNA Indonesia /3/.
3.8 Environmental Impacts

The project participant has provided description of environmental impacts in section D.1 of the PDD.
The project participant has provided a comprehensive description covering the project activitys impact on water
use, soil use, air, noise, environment, and ecological impacts. The validation team reviewed and concluded that
the description is sufficient. The validation team checked the description for its appropriateness and confirms
that the project is not likely to create any adverse environmental effects.
As for the environmental impacts due to project activity on the local area, the project participant submitted an an
Environment Management (UKL) and Environment Planning(UPL) Procedure, which includes potential
environmental impacts by the proposed project to the neighboring area and measures taken to minimize the
identified impacts.
Environment Management (UKL) and Environment Planning(UPL) Procedure has been submitted to the
authority for approval /10/. The project participant has provided a comprehensive description covering the
project activitys impacts on air, noise, and environment impacts in the Environmental Compliance
Commitment /10/. The validation team reviewed and concluded that the description is sufficient. It is also
required that the project participants have to monitor environmental quality (air, and waste water) and report to
local authority periodicly. The validation team checked the description for its appropriateness and confirms that
the project is not likely to create any adverse environmental effects.
The proposed CDM project activity results to land acquisition of 135 local households which was appropriately
compensated by project participant in presence of representative of local authority (CAMAT) according to the
local applicable regulations and it is also verified by the validation team during on site visit by interviewing
CAMAT and local effected residents and found satisfactory. During the on-site interview, the local residents
stated that there was no significant impact to their living environment, and the project activity does not cause
adverse effect to their daily life. They also satisfied with the compensation arrangement and compensation
payment has been received as arranged by CAMAT /34/, /35/.
Compensation plan was approved by Garut Regency and Land Use Permit No. 503/088/007-IPPT/PPTSP/2011
was granted on 07th March 2011 by Integrated Licensing Service Office Division of Garut Regency.
The PDD correctly describes the project activitys environmental impacts and mitigation methods based on the
Environment Management (UKL) and Environment Planning(UPL) Procedure conducted and the environmental
impacts are not deemed to be significant.

3.9 Local Stakeholder Consultation

According to the PDD and as stated from the project participant, the local stakeholder consultation was carried
out by the project owner on 15th April 2011 at Kantor Kecamatan Bungbulang, Garut /21/. The local
stakeholders were invited through advertisement on newspaper and invitation letters /20/. The consulted
stakeholders included the representatives from local authorities, organizations and local villagers with different
genders, age groups, educational backgrounds and occupations /20/, /21/. From the background of the
stakeholders, it is reasonably believed that the survey could reflect the general attitudes towards the project from
the local residents who were possibly affected by the project.
During the on-site visit, the representatives from local people, community and Bungbulang subdistrict were
interviewed /I02/. In general, the interviewees showed adequate understandings of the nature of the project and
think that the project implementation would not affect their daily life. They have also received the compensation
payment, and were satisfactory with the compensation arrangement between the project owner and the local
effected people. The interviewees considered that local social and economic development would be benefited
from the project activity, due to the road improvement and employment enhancement. The overall responses
were supportive to the implementation of the project.
The representative from Bungbulang subdistrict also stated that they did not receive any adverse comment
about the project activity from the residents.
TUV Rheinland considers the local stakeholder consultation carried out adequately.

Please provide Yes/No response and
description of how this was validated.
In case of calculated emission reductions
varying over time, SSC-applicability limits
must be met for every single year in any of the
max. 3 subsequent crediting periods.
5.2.1a) If the project applies a small-scale
methodology, does the project also
comply with the general guidelines to
SSC CDM methodologies, which
provides guidelines on equipment
capacity,
equipment
performance/lifetime,
baseline
identification for type-II/III Greenfield
project activities, sampling and other
monitoring-related issues?
DR, I
Yes. The project activity qualifies the criteria for SSC project
activities as below:
The project activity consists of a run-of-river diversiontype hydropower project which generates electricity by
utilizing the renewable hydro resource, which supplies
electricity to and displaces electricity from the national
electricity distribution system, i.e. Jamali grid which
mainly comprises fossil fuel-fired power plants which have
been supplied by at least one fossil fuel fired generating
unit;
reservoir with no change in the volume of reservoir;
The total installed capacity of the project activity is
8MW, which does not exceed the threshold of 15MW for
small-scale CDM project;
The project activity does not involve heat recovery and
co-fired fossil fuel, thus it is not a combined heat and
power (co-generation) system;
The project activity (i) does not involve the addition of
renewable energy generation at an existing facility or (ii)
does not seek to retrofit or modify an existing facility.

project?
Please indicate Yes/No answer. In case of
positive conclusion provide details of the
validation measures taken and data found
during the procedure. Otherwise amend the
Tables 2, 3 and 4 accordingly.
DR, I
According to the information from UNFCCC, there is no

registered small-scale CDM project activity or any application
to register another CDM small-scale CDM project activity by
the project participant, i.e. TGR or NEFCO within the previous
two years with the same project category and technology within
1 km of the project boundary of the project activity. As stated
by the project proponent, the project activity obtains the
diverted water for power generation from the existing reservoir
on Cirompang river of Garut Regency. The project activity is
the only hydropower plant in the Cirompang. The project
proponent also reported that this is the first hydropower project
invested by NEFCO. Thus, the project activity is not deemed to
be a de-bundled component of a large scale project activity.

taken for other project types.
In case the validation team is not able to
cross-check information with other similar
