1) It was noticed that the electricity generated during the present monitoring period was 16.6% higher than the estimate in the PDD and that there is an average increase in PLF of 26.3% also during the four previous monitoring periods. The PP/DOE indicated that such increase is due to greater flow of water in the river as compared to the historical average flow rate of 67 years. Considering that the additionality of the project activity was demonstrated by means of a benchmark analysis and that neither the sensitivity analysis nor the financial analysis spreadsheet were provided at the time of registration, the DOE should explain whether the increase in PLF (of over 4 years out of the 10-years crediting period) raises concerns related to the additionality of the project activity. Please refer to Paragraph 197 of VVM v 1.2.
