The objective is development, design, engineering, procurement, finance, construction, operation and
maintenance of bundled wind power projects totalling 24.8 MW wind power projects (“Project”) in the
Indian state of Rajasthan to provide reliable, renewable power to the Rajasthan state electricity grid which
is part of the Northern regional electricity grid. The Project will lead to reduced greenhouse gas
emissions because it displaces electricity from fossil fuel based electricity generation plants.
Nature of Project
The Project harnesses renewable resources in the region, and thereby displacing non-renewable natural
resources thereby ultimately leading to sustainable economic and environmental development. Enercon
(India) Ltd (“Enercon” or “EIL”) is the equipment supplier and the operations and maintenance contractor
for the Project. The generated electricity will be supplied to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd
(“RRPVN”)/ Jodhpur Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (“Jodhpur Discom”) under a long-term power
purchase agreement (PPA). The details of the sub-projects comprising the Project are as under:
• CEPCO Industries: 12 MW
• Ushdev International: 2.4 MW
• Brindavan Agro Industies: 1.6 MW
• Amrit Bottlers Ltd.: 0.8 MW
• Deedee Enterprises: 0.8 MW
• JN Investment: 0.8 MW
• Metalfab Hightech Private Limited: 0.8 MW
• SE Investment: 0.8 MW
• Brindavan Bottlers Ltd.: 0.8 MW
• Delta Enterprises: 2.4 MW

located at a distance of 25 km from Jaisalmer by road. The nearest railway station is at Jaisalmer. A
location map is attached at Appendix – 1.
Enercon (India) Ltd has secured and facilitated the technology transfer for wind based renewable energy
generation from Enercon GmbH, has established a manufacturing plant at Daman in India, where along
with other components the "Synchronous Generators" using "Vacuum Impregnation" technology are
manufactured.

B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the
project activity:
>>
The approved consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 Version 6.0 (19 May 2006)
has been used. The titles of these baseline and monitoring methodologies are “Consolidated baseline
methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources” and “Consolidated
monitoring methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources.
B.2 Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project
activity:
>>
The Project is wind based renewable energy source, zero emission power project connected to the
Rajasthan state grid, which forms part of the Northern regional electricity grid. The Project will displace
fossil fuel based electricity generation that would have otherwise been provided by the operation and
expansion of the fossil fuel based power plants in Northern regional electricity grid.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 6
The approved consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 Version 6 is the choice of
the baseline and monitoring methodology and it is applicable because:
• the Project is grid connected renewable power generation project activity
• the Project represents electricity capacity additions from wind sources
• the Project does not involve switching from fossil fuel to renewable energy at the site of project
activity since the Project is green-field electricity generation capacities from wind sources at sites
where there was no electricity generation source prior to the Project, and
• the geographical and system boundaries of the Northern electricity grid can be clearly identified and
information on the characteristics of the grid is available.
B.3. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary
>>
The project boundary encompasses the physical, geographical site of the Project sited at the Project
Location. It would include the wind turbine installations and sub-station up to the Metering Point.
According to ACM0002, for the baseline emission factor, the spatial extent of the project boundary
includes the project site and all power plants connected physically to the electricity system that the CDM
project power plant is connected to.
The Indian electricity system is divided into five regional grids, viz. Northern, Eastern, Western,
Southern, and North-Eastern. Each grid covers several states. As the regional grids are interconnected,
there is inter-state and inter-regional exchange. A small power exchange also takes place with
neighbouring countries like Bhutan and Nepal.
Power generation and supply within the regional grid is managed by Regional Load Dispatch Centre
(RLDC). The Regional Power Committees (RPCs) provide a common platform for discussion and
solution to the regional problems relating to the grid. Each state in a regional grid meets its demand with
its own generation facilities and also with allocation from power plants owned by the Central Sector such
as NTPC and NHPC etc. Specific quotas are allocated to each state from the Central Sector power plants.
Depending on the demand and generation, there are electricity exports and imports between states in the
regional grid. The regional grid thus represents the largest electricity grid where power plants can be
dispatched without significant constraints and thus, represents the “project electricity system” for the
Project. As the Project is connected to the Northern regional electricity grid, the Northern grid is the
“project electricity system”.
Grid connected captive power plants have not been included because adequate detail of data (for example,
fuel consumption) is not available. In addition, data on certain utility power plants was not available and
these were excluded from the project electricity system. Even though data on individual renewable
energy projects is not available, they have been included using appropriate assumptions.

B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified
baseline scenario:
>>
According to ACM0002, for project activities that do not modify or retrofit an existing electricity generation
facility, the baseline scenario is the following:
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 (CM) calculations described below.
As the Project does not modify or retrofit an existing generation facility, the baseline scenario is the
emissions generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new
generation sources. This is estimated using calculation of Combined Margin multiplied by electricity
delivered to the grid by the Project.
B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below
those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity (assessment
and demonstration of additionality): >>
Step 0: Preliminary screening based on the starting date of the project activity
If project participants wish to have the crediting period starting prior to the registration of their project
activity, they shall:
a) Provide evidence that the starting date of the CDM project activity falls between 1 January 2000 and
the date of the registration of a first CDM project activity, bearing in mind that only CDM project
activities submitted for registration before 31 December 2005 may claim for a crediting period
starting before the date of registration.
b) Provide evidence that the incentive from the CDM was seriously considered in the decision to
proceed with the project activity. This evidence shall be based on (preferably official, legal and/or
other corporate) documentation that was available at, or prior to, the start of the project activity.
The Project start date is prior to the date of validation of the PDD. Enercon had entered into discussions
with a CER purchaser for purchase of emission reductions and a Memorandum of Understanding was
signed on 1st July 2005, which is prior to the start date of the Project.
Step 1: Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with current laws and
regulations

Proceed to Step 2 (Investment analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier analysis). (Project participants may also
select to complete both steps 2 and 3.)

1. Determine whether to apply simple cost analysis, investment comparison analysis or benchmark
analysis (sub-step 2b). If the CDM project activity generates no financial or economic benefits other
than CDM related income, then apply the simple cost analysis (Option I). Otherwise, use the
investment comparison analysis (Option II) or the benchmark analysis (Option III).
Sub-step 2b. – Option I. Apply simple cost analysis
2. Document the costs associated with the CDM project activity and demonstrate that the activity
produces no economic benefits other than CDM related income.
Sub-step 2b. – Option II. Apply investment comparison analysis
3. Identify the financial indicator, such as IRR, NPV, cost benefit ratio, or unit cost of service (e.g.,
levelized cost of electricity production in $/kWh or levelized cost of delivered heat in $/GJ) most
suitable for the project type and decision-making context.
Sub-step 2b. – Option III. Apply benchmark analysis
4. Identify the financial indicator, such as IRR, NPV, cost benefit ratio, or unit cost of service (e.g.,
levelized cost of electricity production in $/kWh or levelized cost of delivered heat in $/GJ) most
suitable for the project type and decision context.
Option I – Simple cost analysis is not applicable as the project activity sells electricity to the grid and
obtains economic benefits in the form of electricity tariffs.
Enercon proposes to use Option II – Investment comparison analysis and the financial indicator that is
identified is the post-tax return on equity or the equity IRR.
The post tax return on equity and equity IRR is used as the appropriate financial indicator because in the
Indian power sector, a 14% post tax return on equity is an established benchmark for projects in public or
private sector based on cost-plus regulations (Source: Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, Terms
and Conditions of Tariff, Regulations 2004 dated 26 March 2004) for utility scale power plants (similar to
Alternative (b)). Incentives, foreign exchange variations and efficiency in operations are in addition to
this benchmark of 14%.
For determining the tariffs for wind power projects, the electricity regulatory commissions of the state of
Rajasthan and Gujarat have considered the return on equity at 14% while the electricity regulatory
commissions of the state of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka have considered the return on
equity at 16%. (Source: RERC Order dated 29 September 2006).
There are some essential differences between the Project (whether implemented with or without CDM
revenues) and the Alternatives identified in Sub-step 1(b) (utility scale fossil fuel and hydro projects).
These should be taken into account while setting the appropriate level of equity IRR.
• The project activity tariff structure is a single-part tariff structure as compared to utility scale fossil
fuel and hydro projects, which have two-part tariff structure. This implies that project activity
carries a higher investment risk than the utility scale fossil fuel and hydro projects (Alternative (b))
where the investment recovery is decoupled from the level of actual generation achieved by the
project due to variations in offtake.
Thus, in case of the project activity, issues such as transmission unavailability, back-down of
generation or part-load operations, which are beyond the control of the investors are likely to affect
the project activity more severely and therefore the project activity investors would require higher
rate of return to compensate them for these additional risks.
• In case of utility scale fossil fuel and hydro projects (Alternative (b)), these are by reference to cost-
plus approach whereby the projects recover their full investment cost each year if they are able to
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 10
reach specified level of plant availability. In case of the Project, it does not recover its full
investment cost in the initial years as the tariffs are back-loaded. This increases the investment risks
in the project activity compared to the alternatives.
Based on the above considerations, 16% post-tax equity IRR is considered to be the appropriate post-tax
equity return. If the Project has a post-tax equity IRR of less than 16%, then it can be considered to be
additional.
Sub-step 2c. Calculation and comparison of financial indicators (only applicable to options II and III):
5. Calculate the suitable financial indicator for the proposed CDM project activity and, in the case of
Option II above, for the other alternatives. Include all relevant costs (including, for example, the
investment cost, the operations and maintenance costs), and revenues (excluding CER revenues, but
including subsidies/fiscal incentives where applicable), and, as appropriate, non-market cost and
benefits in the case of public investors.
6. Present the investment analysis in a transparent manner and provide all the relevant assumptions in
the CDM-PDD, so that a reader can reproduce the analysis and obtain the same results. Clearly
present critical techno-economic parameters and assumptions (such as capital costs, fuel prices,
lifetimes, and discount rate or cost of capital). Justify and/or cite assumptions in a manner that can be
validated by the DOE. In calculating the financial indicator, the project’s risks can be included
through the cash flow pattern, subject to project-specific expectations and assumptions (e.g. insurance
premiums can be used in the calculation to reflect specific risk equivalents).
7. Assumptions and input data for the investment analysis shall not differ across the project activity and
its alternatives, unless differences can be well substantiated.
8. Present in the CDM-PDD submitted for validation a clear comparison of the financial indicator for
the proposed CDM activity and:
(a) The alternatives, if Option II (investment comparison analysis) is used. If one of the other
alternatives has the best indicator (e.g. highest IRR), then the CDM project activity can
not be considered as the most financially attractive;
(b) The financial benchmark, if Option III (benchmark analysis) is used. If the CDM project
activity has a less favourable indicator (e.g. lower IRR) than the benchmark, then the
CDM project activity cannot be considered as financially attractive.
The key assumptions used for calculating the benchmark (post-tax equity IRR) are set out below:

Sub-step 4a. Analyze other activities similar to the proposed project activity:
1. Provide an analysis of any other activities implemented previously or currently underway that are
similar to the proposed project activity. Projects are considered similar if they are in the same
country/region and/or rely on a broadly similar technology, are of a similar scale, and take place in a
comparable environment with respect to regulatory framework, investment climate, access to
technology, access to financing, etc. Other CDM project activities are not to be included in this
analysis. Provide quantitative information where relevant.
2. If similar activities are widely observed and commonly carried out, it calls into question the claim
that the proposed project activity is financially unattractive (as contended in Step 2) or faces barriers
(as contended in Step 3). Therefore, if similar activities are identified above, then it is necessary to
demonstrate why the existence of these activities does not contradict the claim that the proposed
project activity is financially unattractive or subject to barriers. This can be done by comparing the
proposed project activity to the other similar activities, and pointing out and explaining essential
distinctions between them that explain why the similar activities enjoyed certain benefits that
rendered it financially attractive (e.g., subsidies or other financial flows) or did not face the barriers to
which the proposed project activity is subject.
3. Essential distinctions may include a serious change in circumstances under which the proposed CDM
project activity will be implemented when compared to circumstances under which similar projects
where carried out. For example, new barriers may have arisen, or promotional policies may have
ended, leading to a situation in which the proposed CDM project activity would not be implemented
without the incentive provided by the CDM. The change must be fundamental and verifiable.
We analyze the extent to which wind energy projects have diffused in the electricity sector in Rajasthan.
In 2005 – 06, electricity generation from wind sources was 417 GWh which is expected to increase to 512
GWh in 2006 – 07. This works out to 1.35% of total generation available to the state of Rajasthan in
2005 – 06 and 1.66% of total expected generation available to the state of Rajasthan in 2006 – 07.
Clearly, electricity generation from wind is not a common practice in Rajasthan.
We analyze the wind energy projects in Rajasthan that have come under different policy regimes and in
different years. Briefly, the various policies have progressively decreased the electricity tariffs payable
by the offtaker (RRVPN/Discoms) and have progressively passed on burden of providing or paying for
transmission facilities. Below is the electricity tariff payable under different policies:
Electricity tariff (Rs/kWh) 1999- 2000- 2001- 2002- 2003- 2004- 2005- 2006- 2007-
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08
1999 Policy 2.89 3.03 3.18 3.34 3.51 3.69 3.87 4.06 4.27
2000 Policy 3.03 3.18 3.34 3.51 3.68 3.87 4.06 4.26
2003 Policy 3.32 3.39 3.45 3.52 3.59
2004 Policy (Original) 2.91 2.96 3.01 3.06
2004 Policy (Amended) 3.25 3.31 3.37
Out of the 279 MW installed up to 31 March 2005, the wind power projects under various policies of
Government of Rajasthan are set out below:
Policy 1999 (effective 11th March 1999): 4.25 MW
Policy 2000 (effective 4th Feb 2000): 82.23 MW
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 14
Currently, there are 134.71 MW of wind projects in Rajasthan (at various stages) that are in the CDM
pipeline (on the cdm.unfccc.int website) out of 279 MW and more projects are expected to come into the
CDM pipeline.
With the revision of Policy 2004 (effective February 2006), the capacity additions during the three years
are expected to be around 297 MW:
2005–06: 74 MW
2006-07: 36 MW
2007-08: 187 MW
Out of the 297 MW that is estimated to be installed up to 2008, this Project constitutes 24.8 MW.
Enercon is further developing a 100 MW wind power project and another 60 MW as CDM project
activities under the 2004 policy (amended). It is expected that other wind power projects during this
period will be undertaken as CDM projects.
Clearly, wind power project development in Rajasthan is insignificant when compared to the power sector
of Rajasthan. Further, wind power project development is substantially dependent on CDM mechanism
and thus is not common practice.
Explain how the approval and registration of the project activity as a CDM activity, and the attendant
benefits and incentives derived from the project activity, will alleviate the economic and financial hurdles
(Step 2) or other identified barriers (Step 3) and thus enable the project activity to be undertaken.
Registering the project activity as a CDM activity provides a significant amount of revenue, improving
the project’s cash flow and improving the equity IRR by 1.7%. The revenues from sale of the Certified
Emission Reductions would enhance the viability of the project and would partially offset the risks
associated with the possible changes in policy, wind regime, project implementation risks (time and cost
overruns), etc. Further, CER revenues will be high quality cash flows coming from creditworthy parties
and denominated in foreign currency. The CDM revenues will attract new players to wind investments in
Rajasthan, as they provide compensation for the regulatory and project risks implicit in the wind power
projects.
According to the approved baseline methodology ACM0002, the emission reductions ERy by the project
activity during a given year “y1” is
1
Throughout the document, the suffix y denotes that such parameter is a function of the year y, thus to be monitored at least
annually.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 15
where EGy is the electricity supplied to the grid, EFy is the CO2 emission factor of the grid and Ly is the
amount of emissions leakage resulting from the project activity.
Baseline Emissions for the amount of electricity supplied by project activity, BEy is calculated as
where EGy is the electricity supplied to the grid, EFy is the CO2 emission factor of the grid as calculated
below.
The emission factor EFy of the grid is represented as a combination of the Operating Margin (OM) and
the Build Margin (BM). Considering the emission factors for these two margins as EFOM,y and EFBM,y,
then the EFy is given by:
with respective weight factors wOM and wBM (where wOM + wBM = 1).
As per ACM0002, dispatch data analysis should be the first methodological choice. However, this option
is not selected because the information required to calculate OM based on dispatch data is not available in
the public domain for the Northern electricity regional grid.
The Simple Operating Margin approach has been used to calculate the Operating Margin emission factor
applicable in this case. As per ACM 0002 the Simple OM method can only be used where low cost must
run resources constitute less than 50% of grid generation based on average of the five most recent years.
The generation profile of the Northern grid in the last five years is as follows:
page 16
Source: Table 3.4 of CEA General Review 2004-05, 2003-04, 2002-03, 2001-02, 2000-01
From the available information it is clear that low cost/must run sources account for less than 50% of the
total generation in the Northern grid in the last five years. Hence the Simple OM method has been used to
calculate the Operating Margin Emission factor applicable.
Simple OM Method: The Simple OM emission factor EFOM,y is calculated as the generation-weighted
average emissions per electricity unit generated (tCO2/MWh) for all sources serving the Northern regional
grid, excluding zero- or low-operating cost power plants (hydro, wind and nuclear), using the following
equation:
where Fi,j,y and COEFi,j are the fuel consumption and associated carbon coefficient of the fossil fuel i
consumed by power plant j in the grid in year(s) y. GENj,y is the electricity generation by power plant j
connected to the grid excluding zero- or low-operating cost sources in year(s) y.
As per ACM0002, the OM emission factor can be calculated using ex ante generation-weighted average
of the most recent 3 years for which data is available or using ex post generation data in the year in which
the project generation occurs. The OM emission factor is calculated using ex ante generation-weighted
average of the most recent 3 years and hence does not require yearly monitoring of the OM emission
factor.
For the purpose of determining the emission factor(s) for net electricity imports from a connected
electricity system within India, the following option has been used “(c) the average emission rate of the
exporting grid, if and only if net imports do not exceed 20% of total generation in the project electricity
system”. This has been done because the net imports to the Northern Grid from the connected electricity
system (Western, Eastern, North - Eastern and Southern regional electricity grids) do not exceed 20% and
it is not appropriate to use emissions of specific plants as it is not possible to identify specific plants from
which these imports take place.
where:
NCVi,j is the net calorific value (energy content) per mass or volume unit of a fuel i,
EFCO2,i is the CO2 emission factor per unit of energy of the fuel i.
page 17
The Build Margin emission factor EF_BMy (tCO2/GWh) is given as the generation-weighted average
emission factor of the selected representative set of recent power plants represented by the 5 most recent
plants or the most recent 20% of the generating units built (summation is over such plants specified by k):
The summation over i and k is for the fuels and electricity generation of the plants in sample m mentioned
above.
The choice of method for the sample plant is the most recent 20% of the generating units built as this
represents a significantly larger set of plants for a large regional electricity grid have a large number of
power plants connected to it and is therefore appropriate. The calculation of the net generation for 5 most
recent built and for the most recent 20% of the generation units built is shown in the calculation of Build
Margin in Annex – 3.
The Build Margin is calculated on ex ante based on the most recent information available on power plants
already built for sample group m at the time of the PDD preparation.
As already mentioned, baseline emission factor (EFy) of the grid is calculated as a combined margin
(CM), calculated as the weighted average of the operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) factor. In
case of wind power projects default weights of 0.75 for EFOM and 0.25 for EFBM are applicable as per
ACM0002. No alternate weights are proposed.
Using the above mentioned formulas for calculation of operating margin and build margin emission
factors and their respective weights for calculation of combined margin emission factor, the baseline
carbon emission factor (CM) is 924.96 tCO2e/GWh or 0.92496 tCO2e/MWh.
Project Emissions:
The project activity uses wind power to generate electricity and hence the emissions from the project
activity are taken as nil.
PEy = 0
Leakage:
Emissions Leakage on account of the project activity is ignored in accordance with ACM0002.
Ly = 0

Data unit: GWh
Description: Gross generation by the sample group of power plants has been used to arrive at the net
electricity supply by these power plants to the Northern grid.
Source of data used: − Hydro Generation data obtained from CEA Performance Review of Hydro Power
Stations 2004-05
− Steam Generation data obtained from Section 2, CEA Thermal Performance
Review 2004-05
− Gas Generation data obtained from Section 10, CEA Thermal Performance Review
2004-05
− Nuclear Generation data obtained from Nuclear Power Corporation of India’s
website http://www.npcil.nic.in/raps.asp
− Wind generation data is obtained from Table 3.4, CEA General Review 2004-05
Value applied: Refer Annex – 3
Justification of the choice The data source, i.e. Central Electricity Authority is a Government of India
of data or description of organisation, which is mandated to publish such information under section 73 (i) and
measurement methods 73(j) of the Indian Electricity Act 2003.
and procedures actually Many power generating stations in India house multiple generating units (both in case
applied : of Hydro and Thermal) and in many cases unit wise generation data is not published.
Therefore some times it is not possible to determine the actual amount of electricity
generated by a new unit that was added in recent times. In such cases pro-rata
generation, depending on capacity, has been used.
Plant wise generation for Nuclear power units is not available in the CEA publication.
Generation data reported for the Rajasthan Atomic Power station for 2004-05 on the
website of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited,
http://www.npcil.nic.in/raps.asp, has been used.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 23
Similarly unit wise generation data of wind installations is also not available in the
public domain. In case of the northern region build margin sample plants, the earliest
plant i.e. GHTP Bhatinda-2 was commissioned on 18 October 1998, whereas the
earliest wind installation of northern region was commissioned in 1999-00 in Rajasthan.
Rajasthan is the only state in the northern region that has wind power installations.
Therefore electricity generation for all wind power projects in Rajasthan for 2004-05
has been considered for build margin calculations.
Any comment:
Data / Parameter: Auxiliary consumption during 2004-05 by power plants considered for Build
margin calculations.
Data unit: GWh
Description: Auxiliary consumption by the sample group of power plants has been used to arrive at
the net electricity supply by these power plants to the Northern grid.
Source of data used: − Auxiliary consumption for Hydro units is considered at 0.5% as per CERC norms
applicable to Surface hydro electric power generating stations with static excitation
system.
− Auxiliary consumption for Steam units taken from Section 11, CEA Thermal
Performance Review 2004-05
− For Gas plants, the state average auxiliary consumption of Gas Power plants as per
Table 5.5 CEA General Review 2004-05 has been used in the absence of plant
specific auxiliary consumption data.
− Auxiliary Consumption for Nuclear Power Plants taken as the: State average for
the respective generation type from Table 5.5 CEA General Review 2004-05
Value applied: Refer Annex – 3
Justification of the choice The data source, i.e. Central Electricity Authority is a Government of India
of data or description of organisation, which is mandated to publish such information under section 73 (i) and
measurement methods 73(j) of the Indian Electricity Act 2003.
and procedures actually Actual auxiliary consumption of Hydro power units is not available in the CEA
applied : publications. Hence the auxiliary consumption norms set by Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission for determination of tariff for Hydro units has been used.
Nuclear power in India is generated by the Government owned Nuclear Power
Corporation of India Limited. Therefore the entire nuclear power generation pertains to
NPCL alone. Hence the state average auxiliary consumption for Nuclear power actually
refers to the auxiliary consumption rate achieved by the NPCL plant.
In case of Gas plants, plant wise data is not available. Hence the state averages (for the
respective fuel type) of auxiliary consumption have been applied.
Auxiliary consumption of wind considered as “Nil” as wind power generation does not
involve any auxiliary consumption. This is conservative.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of this project is not an essential regulatory requirement, as it is
not covered under the categories as described in EIA Notification of 1994 or the Amended Notification of
2006. However, Enercon conducted the EIA to study impacts on the environment resulting from the
project activity.
The EIA study included identification, prediction and evaluation of potential impacts of the CDM
activities on air, water, noise, land, biological and socioeconomic environment within the study area. The
ambient air concentrations of Suspended Particulate Matter, Respirable Particulate Matter, Oxides of
Nitrogen, Sulphur dioxide and Carbon Monoxide were monitored and were found under limits as
specified by CPCB. The noise levels were observed through out the study period and were found to be in
the permissible range. Water quality monitoring studies were carried out for determination of physico-
chemical characteristics of bore wells. The ph level of water was found to be under the specified limits.
The study area represents part of Jaisalmer district, which is part of the Thar desert. The terrain is rough
comprising sandy or stony wasteland & is very sparsely populated. The windfarm is located in the mist of
the Indian ‘Thar’ Desert and does not come in the path of the migratory birds. There is no wild life or
forestland near the project sites.

D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host
Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental
impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party:
>>
EIA demonstrated that there is no major impact on the environment due to the installation and operation
of the windmills. The desert ecology is not likely to get impacted by this type of project activity. The
local population confirmed that there is no noise or dust nuisance due to windmills. The EIA also ruled
out any adverse impacts due to the project activity.
E.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled:
>>
The comments from local stakeholders were invited through a local stakeholder meeting conducted at
Gorbandh Palace, Jaisalmer on 18 September 2006. A local newspaper advertisement was placed in
Rajasthan Patrica on 5th September 2006 inviting the local stakeholders for the meeting.
The local stakeholder consultation meeting had representatives from the nearby villages, representatives
of Enercon and representative of Aditya Environmental Services (consultant to Enercon). The minutes of
the meeting are set out in Appendix 2.
E.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received:
>>
Enercon provided the following responses in relation to the comments received from the local
stakeholders:
• The benefits to the local stakeholders will be through employment opportunities provided by the
project in terms of small shops and construction workers. It will also lead to better connectivity to
nearby towns.
• The project does not affect the grazing by the cattle. Enercon does not use any kind for boundary wall
to protect their machines and hence the accessibility of cattle to areas for grazing and drinking water
is not affected.
• The Project does not fall under migratory patterns of the birds.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 30
• Project has improved the availability of water, which can also be accessed from project site. The tube
wells are located at a distance of 3 Km from project site which the people daily access.
• Enercon has appropriate protocols are in place to take care of all the safety issues. No incidence of
accident has occurred.
• No noise disturbances have been observed so far and local inhabitation is far away from the project
site.
• A school was reconstructed by Enercon India Limited in police lane in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan in 2004 –
05. Enercon will bear in mind the requirement of school in the village and opportunities for women
in the village when it undertakes further developmental work.
The local stakeholders were satisfied with the explanations provided during the meeting.

MONITORING INFORMATION
• The electricity supplied to the grid will be metered at the 33/132/220 kV level at the RRVPN
substation at Amarsagar. Representatives of RRVPN/Jodhpur Discom and Enercon will jointly take
the main reading and sign the meter reading on the first day of every month. Simultaneously, the
joint meter reading at the 33/132/220 kV level of the backup metering system at Temderai substation
will also be taken by representatives of RRVPN/Jodhpur Discom and Enercon.
• The meters will jointly inspected/tested once in a year as per the terms of the PPA. Joint inspection
and testing will also be carried out as and when difference in monthly meter readings exceeds the sum
of maximum error as per accuracy class of main and back up meters.
• In case the meters are found to operate outside the permissible limits, the meters will be either
replaced immediately or calibrated. Error correction will be applied to the meter reading. Whenever
a main meter goes defective, the consumption recorded by the backup meter will be referred. The
details of the malfunctioning along with date and time and snaps shot parameters along with load
survey will be retrieved from the main meter. The exact nature of the malfunctioning will be
determined after analyzing the data so retrieved and the consumption recorded by the main meter will
be assessed accordingly.
• If main as well as back up metering system becomes defective, the assessment of energy consumption
for the outage period will be done from the backup meters by the concerned parties as mutually
agreed or at the level of Metering Committee set up under the Metering Code.
• The main and the backup metering systems will be sealed in presence of representatives of Enercon
and RRVPN/Jodhpur Discom.

A.3.4 Estimated amount of emission reductions over the chosen crediting period:
>>
Crediting Period for the Projects: 01/06/2004 to 31/12/2006
B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the
project activity:
>>
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (PDD)
page 7
The approved consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 Version 6.0 (19 May 2006)
has been used. The titles of these baseline and monitoring methodologies are “Consolidated baseline
methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources” and “Consolidated
monitoring methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources.
B.2 Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project
activity:
>>
The Projects are wind based renewable energy source, zero emission power project connected to the
Gujarat state grid, which forms part of the Western regional electricity grid. The Projects will displace
fossil fuel based electricity generation that would have otherwise been provided by the operation and
expansion of the fossil fuel based power plants in Western regional electricity grid. The power generated
is fed to the grid and is wheeled to the industry for captive consumption. The projects are guided by the
wheeling arrangement for wheeling the electricity from the generating source to the destination for
captive consumption.
The approved consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 Version 6 is the choice of
the baseline and monitoring methodology and it is applicable because:
• the Projects are grid connected renewable power generation project activities where in the energy
generated is wheeled to the destination for captive consumption.
• the Projects represent electricity capacity additions from wind sources
• the Projects do not involve switching from fossil fuel to renewable energy at the site of project
activity since the Projects are green-field electricity generation capacities from wind sources at sites
where there was no electricity generation source prior to the Projects
• the geographical and system boundaries of the Western electricity grid can be clearly identified and
information on the characteristics of the grid is available.
B.3. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary
>>
The project boundary encompasses the physical, geographical site of the Projects sited at the Project
Location. It would include the wind turbine installations and pooling sub-stations up to the Metering
Points.
According to ACM0002, for the baseline emission factor, the spatial extent of the project boundary
includes the project site and all power plants connected physically to the electricity system that the CDM
project power plant is connected to.
The Indian electricity system is divided into five regional grids, viz. Northern, Eastern, Western,
Southern, and North-Eastern. Each grid covers several states. As the regional grids are interconnected,
there is inter-state and inter-regional exchange. A small power exchange also takes place with
neighbouring countries like Bhutan and Nepal.
Power generation and supply within the regional grid is managed by Regional Load Dispatch Centre
(RLDC). The Regional Power Committees (RPCs) provide a common platform for discussion and
solution to the regional problems relating to the grid. Each state in a regional grid meets its demand with
its own generation facilities and also with allocation from power plants owned by the Central Sector such
as NTPC and NHPC etc. Specific quotas are allocated to each state from the Central Sector power plants.
Depending on the demand and generation, there are electricity exports and imports between states in the
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (PDD)
page 8
regional grid. The regional grid thus represents the largest electricity grid where power plants can be
dispatched without significant constraints and thus, represents the “project electricity system” for the
Projects. As the Projects are connected to the Western regional electricity grid, the Western grid is the
“project electricity system”.
B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified
baseline scenario:
>>
According to ACM0002, for project activities that do not modify or retrofit an existing electricity generation
facility, the baseline scenario is the following:
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 (CM) calculations described below.
As the Projects do not modify or retrofit an existing generation facility, the baseline scenario is the
emissions generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new
generation sources. This is estimated using calculation of Combined Margin multiplied by electricity
delivered to the grid by the Projects.
B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below
those that would have occurred in the absence of the project activity:
>>
Common Practice Test
Provision of underlying service or product with the project technology does not exceed 51% in the
defined market area.
Investment in wind energy projects in the State of Gujarat and the Western regional electricity grid are
not mandatory. There are no national or local laws or regulations that require this investment to be
undertaken, i.e., setting up of wind power projects. The setting up of wind energy projects is a voluntary
activity.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (PDD)
page 9
We analyze the extent to which wind energy projects have diffused in the electricity sector in Gujarat. In
2004 – 05, wind electricity generation was 350 GWh1 and the total electricity availability from all the
sourcesd at bus-bar in the state of Gujarat was 53410 GWh2. This works out to 0.65%, showing that
wind energy power generation is insignificant as compared to other power project generation sources in
Gujarat.
Installed capacity of wind energy generation sources stood at 219.9 MW3 as of 31 March 2005.
Clearly, wind power project development in Gujarat is insignificant when compared to the power sector
of Gujarat. Further, wind power project development is substantially dependent on CDM mechanism and
thus is not common practice.
Local or National Legislation does not require the production of the underlying service or
product with the chosen technology.
Additionally, the Project should not have been undertaken to meet a formal or voluntary target
imposed by government regulation or under agreement with a government agency (e.g. the
auto manufacturers and the EU, where companies agree to meet reduction targets voluntarily
through their industry association).
Carbon credits should not be the by-product from the creation of an ancillary environmental asset
and/or financial instrument (e.g. renewable energy credits).
The emission reductions from the Project must not have been used against any voluntary
corporate emission reduction targets.
Project is not a downstream energy efficiency project in a jurisdiction with a mandatory GHG
emissions cap on upstream electricity generators.
There is no legal and regulatory requirement that mandates the production of energy by the chosen
technology. Investment in wind energy projects in the State of Gujarat and the western regional
electricity grid are not mandatory. There are no national or local laws or regulations that require this
investment to be undertaken, i.e., setting up of wind power projects. The setting up of wind energy
projects is a voluntary activity.
Carbon credits produced are not the by-products from the creation of an ancillary environmental asset.
The emission reductions from the project are not used for against any voluntary corporate emission
reduction targets. India is a Non-Annex-1 and has not yet capped the emission reduction target for any
industry. Hence project is not the down stream energy efficiency project and is not mandated by
jurisdiction

The project is not the least cost option for providing the underlying product or service.
Companies shall provide calculations that illustrate that the project is not the Least Cost Option.
The cost of generation from the various options available to the investors is complied in the table given
below. The cost of each of the categories is compared against the cost of generation form the wind power
projects which is considerably higher. Gujarat electricity regulatory commission has given the tariff
based on cost of generation at Rs. 3.37, which is considerably higher than the cost of generation listed in
the table below (Data for the cost of generation has been compiled from the tariff order of Gujarat State
Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) dated 31st March 2007). Hence we can state from the above
analysis that wind energy is not the least cost option for the off takers of electricity.

Baseline Emissions for the amount of electricity supplied by project activity, BEy is calculated as
where EGy is the electricity supplied to the grid, EFy is the CO2 emission factor of the grid as calculated
below.
The emission factor EFy of the grid is represented as a combination of the Operating Margin (OM) and
the Build Margin (BM). Considering the emission factors for these two margins as EFOM,y and EFBM,y,
then the EFy is given by:
with respective weight factors wOM and wBM (where wOM + wBM = 1).
As per ACM0002, dispatch data analysis should be the first methodological choice. However, this
option is not selected because the information required to calculate OM based on dispatch data is not
available in the public domain for the Western electricity regional grid.
The Simple Operating Margin approach is appropriate to calculate the Operating Margin emission factor
applicable in this case. As per ACM 0002 the Simple OM method can only be used where low cost must
run resources constitute less than 50% of grid generation based on average of the five most recent years.
The generation profile of the Western grid in the last five years is as follows:
page 12
From the available information it is clear that low cost/must run sources account for less than 50% of the
total generation in the Western grid in the last five years. Hence the Simple OM method is appropriate to
calculate the Operating Margin Emission factor applicable.
The Build Margin emission factor EF_BMy (tCO2/GWh) is given as the generation-weighted average
emission factor of the selected representative set of recent power plants represented by the 5 most recent
plants or the most recent 20% of the generating units built (summation is over such plants specified by
k):
The summation over i and k is for the fuels and electricity generation of the plants in sample m
mentioned above.
The choice of method for the sample plant is the most recent 20% of the generating units built as this
represents a significantly larger set of plants for a large regional electricity grid having a large number of
power plants connected to it and is therefore appropriate.
The Central Electricity Authority, Ministry of Power, Government of India has published a database of
Carbon Dioxide Emission from the power sector in India based on detailed authenticated information
obtained from all operating power stations in the country. This database i.e. The CO2 Baseline Database
provides information about the Operating Margin and Build Margin Emission Factors of all the regional
electricity grids in India. The Operating Margin in the CEA database is calculated ex ante using the
Simple OM approach and the Build Margin is calculated ex ante based on 20% most recent capacity
additions in the grid based on net generation as described in ACM0002. We have, therefore, used the
Operating Margin and Build Margin data published in the CEA database, for calculating the Baseline
Emission Factor.
As already mentioned, baseline emission factor (EFy) of the grid is calculated as a combined margin
(CM), calculated as the weighted average of the operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) factor. In
case of wind power projects default weights of 0.75 for EFOM and 0.25 for EFBM are applicable as per
ACM0002. No alternate weights are proposed.
Using the values for operating margin and build margin emission factors provided in the CEA database
and their respective weights for calculation of combined margin emission factor, the baseline carbon
emission factor (CM) is 940.22 tCO2e/GWh or 0.94022 tCO2e/MWh.

The project activity uses wind power to generate electricity and hence the emissions from the project
activity are taken as nil.

Since the baseline methodology is based on ex ante determination of the baseline, the monitoring of
operating margin emission factor and build margin emission factor is not required.
Hence, under the monitoring protocol for the Project it is required to monitor the units of electricity
supplied to the grid by the wind farms. The monitoring procedures and QA/QC procedures are provided
in Annex – 2 (Monitoring Plan)

of 2006. However, Enercon conducted the EIA to study impacts on the environment resulting from the
project activity.
The EIA study included identification, prediction and evaluation of potential impacts of the CDM
activities on air, water, noise, land, biological and socio-economic environment within the study area.
The ambient air concentrations of Suspended Particulate Matter, Respirable Particulate Matter, Oxides of
Nitrogen, Sulphur dioxide and Carbon Monoxide were monitored and were found under limits as
specified by CPCB. The noise levels were observed through out the study period and were found to be in
the permissible range as specified by the state pollution control board and National Ambient Air Quality
Standards. Water quality monitoring studies were carried out for determination of physico-chemical
characteristics of bore wells. The ph level of water was found to be under the specified limits.
The site does not involve any sensitive archaeological monuments as per the Archaeological Survey of
India. No Historical and Cultural Monuments have been affected due to project location. The project area
consists of some grass shrubs and does not have much to offer aesthetically. However, construction of
wind power mills with pleasing architectural design that blends with the landscape will have a positive
impact on the aesthetics of the present surrounding of the site.
D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host
Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental
impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party:
>>
EIA demonstrated that there is no major impact on the environment due to the installation and operation
of the windmills. The ecology is not likely to get impacted by this type of project activity. The local
population confirmed that there is no noise or dust nuisance due to windmills. The EIA also ruled out
any adverse impacts due to the project activity.
E.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled:
>>
The comments from local stakeholders were invited through a local stakeholder meeting conducted at
Satapar site office, Jamnagar on 16 December 2006. A local newspaper advertisement was placed in
Aajkal on 2nd December 2006 inviting the local stakeholders for the meeting.
The local stakeholder consultation meeting had representatives from the nearby villages, representatives
of Enercon. The minutes of the meeting are set out in Appendix 1.
page 17
E.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received:
>>
Enercon provided the following responses in relation to the comments received from the local
stakeholders:
• The benefits to the local stakeholders will be through employment opportunities provided by the
project in terms of construction workers. It will also lead to better connectivity to nearby towns.
• The project does not affect the grazing by the cattle. Enercon does not use any kind for boundary
wall to protect their machines and hence the accessibility of cattle to areas for grazing and drinking
water is not affected.
• The Project does not fall under migratory patterns of the birds.
• Enercon has appropriate protocols are in place to take care of all the safety issues. No incidence of
accident has occurred.
The local stakeholders were satisfied with the explanations provided during the meeting.

Welcome Address
Mr. Mahender Singh from Enercon (I) Limited welcomed all the people who came to take part in the
meeting including the chief guest. There were more than 22 people from all the villages that fall in the
region of the project sites.
Mr. K.D. Baria highlighted the project description right from the beginning of the initial project in that
area. The knowledge and awareness of the Wind farms was communicated to the local people in the local
language. The wind farm projects falls in the category of the renewable energy. The meaning of the
renewable energy was explained. The sites where the projects are located have no commercial activities
and is a waste land procured through Government was explained to the villagers.
The advantage of the Wind Mills to the people in that region and to India as such was explained to the
people. The optimum use of the barren land was explained to them. In addition to this several other
support services augmented by the ENERCON to local people in terms of making available access road
to the villages, transportation system, providing employment to the local people of skill and unskill
category was explained to them.
The Wind Farm produces the clean and green energy and do not account for any kind of pollution as
might be the case with other alternatives. The comparison between the wind farm projects and other
alternatives was drawn in order to communicate the advantages that wind power possess over other
alternatives of renewal energy available in India.
Mr. Mahender Singh briefed the advantages of the wind farm in the region and in India as a whole and
emphasized on the employment opportunity being provided to the local people in the region and as a
result of which the economic conditions of the local people has been improving in the region.
Mr. Kantilal D Baria emphasized that the economic conditions of the people and villagers in this area are
not good. With the coming up of the wind farm projects of Enercon (India) Limited, there has been a
tremendous improvement in the economic conditions of the villagers as the employment opportunities to
the people in the form of Security guards, drivers, labourers, extending contract for construction work,
road work and other avenues have been opened by the Enercon. The educated people have also been
given permanent employment which are on the mustered roll of the company depending upon their
competency and talent.
Mr. Vivek Sen explained the villagers about the basic concept of CDM and its importance in the current
context of climatic change and concern of the nations around the world to tackle this change. He told
how Enercon India Ltd is earning carbon credits and distributing the benefits to the project owners. He
also emphasized that Enercon is doing a great work for the development of power infrastructure in the
region along with the goal of contributing to the sustainable development.

B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the
project activity:
>>
The approved consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 Version 6.0 (19 May 2006)
has been used. The titles of these baseline and monitoring methodologies are “Consolidated baseline
methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources” and “Consolidated
monitoring methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources.
B.2 Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project
activity:
>>
The Project is wind based renewable energy source, zero emission power project connected to the
Karnataka state grid, which forms part of the Southern regional electricity grid. The Project will displace
fossil fuel based electricity generation that would have otherwise been provided by the operation and
expansion of the fossil fuel based power plants in Southern regional electricity grid.
The approved consolidated baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 Version 6 is the choice of
the baseline and monitoring methodology and it is applicable because:
• the Project is grid connected renewable power generation project activity
• the Project represents electricity capacity additions from wind sources
• the Project does not involve switching from fossil fuel to renewable energy at the site of project
activity since the Project is green-field electricity generation capacities from wind sources at sites
where there was no electricity generation source prior to the Project, and
• the geographical and system boundaries of the Southern electricity grid can be clearly identified and
information on the characteristics of the grid is available.
B.3. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary
>>
According to ACM0002, for the baseline emission factor, the spatial extent of the project boundary
includes the project site and all power plants connected physically to the electricity system that the CDM
project power plant is connected to.
The Indian electricity system is divided into five regional grids, viz. Northern, Eastern, Western,
Southern, and North-Eastern. Each grid covers several states. As the regional grids are interconnected,
there is inter-state and inter-regional exchange. A small power exchange also takes place with
neighbouring countries like Bhutan and Nepal.
Power generation and supply within the regional grid is managed by Regional Load Dispatch Centre
(RLDC). The Regional Power Committees (RPCs) provide a common platform for discussion and
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 7
solution to the regional problems relating to the grid. Each state in a regional grid meets its demand with
its own generation facilities and also with allocation from power plants owned by the Central Sector such
as NTPC and NHPC etc. Specific quotas are allocated to each state from the Central Sector power plants.
Depending on the demand and generation, there are electricity exports and imports between states in the
regional grid. The regional grid thus represents the largest electricity grid where power plants can be
dispatched without significant constraints and thus, represents the “project electricity system” for the
Project. As the Project is connected to the Southern regional electricity grid, the Southern grid is the
“project electricity system”.
Accordingly, the project boundary encompasses the physical extent of the Southern regional Electricity
grid which include the project site and all the power plants connected physically to the electricity system
B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified
baseline scenario:
>>
According to ACM0002, for project activities that do not modify or retrofit an existing electricity generation
facility, the baseline scenario is the following:
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 (CM) calculations described below.
As the Project does not modify or retrofit an existing generation facility, the baseline scenario is the
emissions generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new
generation sources. This is estimated using calculation of Combined Margin multiplied by electricity
delivered to the grid by the Project.
B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below
those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity (assessment
and demonstration of additionality): >>
Step 0: Preliminary screening based on the starting date of the project activity
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 8
If project participants wish to have the crediting period starting prior to the registration of their project
activity, they shall:
a) Provide evidence that the starting date of the CDM project activity falls between 1 January 2000 and
the date of the registration of a first CDM project activity, bearing in mind that only CDM project
activities submitted for registration before 31 December 2005 may claim for a crediting period
starting before the date of registration.
b) Provide evidence that the incentive from the CDM was seriously considered in the decision to
proceed with the project activity. This evidence shall be based on (preferably official, legal and/or
other corporate) documentation that was available at, or prior to, the start of the project activity.
The additionality of the project is being proved using additionality tool Version 2.
The Project start date is prior to the date of validation of the PDD.
Wind power projects prior to the implementation Project were required to share CDM revenues with
KPTCL in accordance with the PPAs approved by Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission
(KERC). While KPTCL requested KERC to retain the sharing of CDM revenues, KERC removed the
sharing of CDM revenues with KPTCL while approving the PPAs for the Project recognizing the nascent
stage of the CDM market and potential adverse impact on new investments. The various regulatory
orders that a) allowed CDM benefits to be shared between KPTCL and the developers for earlier projects,
and b) did not allow KPTCL to share CDM benefits with developers will be provided to the validator.
Enercon’s management had considered CDM benefits in wind power development and already had
experience with CDM process (CERUPT tender of 2001, Letter of Intent for other wind power projects in
Karnataka in December 2003, etc.). It had also informed its customers of the CDM benefits. Evidence
for this is available which will be provided to the validator.
Enercon had entered into discussions with a CER purchaser for purchase of emission reductions and a
Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 1st July 2005, which is prior to the start date of the Project.
Step 1: Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with current laws and
regulations
Sub-step 1a. Define alternatives to the project activity:
1. Identify realistic and credible alternative(s) available to the project participants or similar project
developers that provide outputs or services comparable with the proposed CDM project activity. These
alternatives are to include:
The proposed project activity not undertaken as a CDM project activity;
All other plausible and credible alternatives to the project activity that deliver outputs and on services
(e.g. electricity, heat or cement) with comparable quality, properties and application areas;
If applicable, continuation of the current situation (no project activity or other alternatives
undertaken).
Alternative(s) available to the project participants or similar project developers include:
(a) The Project is not undertaken as a CDM project activity.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 9
(b) Setting up of comparable utility scale fossil fuel fired or hydro power projects that supply to the
Karnataka grid under a PPA.
(c) Continuation of the current situation where no project activity or any of the above Alternatives are
undertaken would not be applicable as Karnataka had energy (MU) shortages of 0.7% and peak
(MW) shortages of 9.8% in 2005-06 (Source: Southern Region Power Sector Profile, August 2006,
Ministry of Power).
Sub-step 1b. Enforcement of applicable laws and regulations
2. The alternative(s) shall be in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, even
if these laws and regulations have objectives other than GHG reductions, e.g. to mitigate local air
pollution. This sub-step does not consider national and local policies that do not have legally-binding
status.
3. If an alternative does not comply with all applicable legislation and regulations, then show that, based
on an examination of current practice in the country or region in which the law or regulation applies,
those applicable legal or regulatory requirements are systematically not enforced and that non-
compliance with those requirements is widespread in the country. If this cannot be shown, then
eliminate the alternative from further consideration.
4. If the proposed project activity is the only alternative amongst the ones considered by the project
participants that is in compliance with all regulations with which there is general compliance, then the
proposed CDM project activity is not additional.
There are no legal and regulatory requirements that prevent Alternatives (a) and (b) from occurring.
Proceed to Step 2 (Investment analysis) or Step 3 (Barrier analysis). (Project participants may also
select to complete both steps 2 and 3.)
page 10
4. Identify the financial indicator, such as IRR, NPV, cost benefit ratio, or unit cost of service (e.g.,
levelized cost of electricity production in $/kWh or levelized cost of delivered heat in $/GJ) most
suitable for the project type and decision context.
Option I – Simple cost analysis is not applicable as the project activity sells electricity to the grid and
obtains economic benefits in the form of electricity tariffs.
Enercon proposes to use Option III – Benchmark analysis and the financial indicator that is identified is
the post-tax return on equity or the equity IRR.
The post tax return on equity and equity IRR is used as the appropriate financial indicator because in the
Indian power sector, a 14% post tax return on equity is an established benchmark for projects in public or
private sector based on cost-plus regulations (Source: Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, Terms
and Conditions of Tariff, Regulations 2004 dated 26 March 2004) for utility scale power plants (similar to
Alternative (b)). Incentives, foreign exchange variations and efficiency in operations are in addition to
this benchmark of 14%.
For determining the tariffs for wind power projects, the electricity regulatory commissions of the state of
Rajasthan and Gujarat have considered the return on equity at 14% while the electricity regulatory
commissions of the state of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka have considered the return on
equity at 16%. (Source: RERC Order dated 29 September 2006).
There are some essential differences between the Project (whether implemented with or without CDM
revenues) and the Alternatives identified in Sub-step 1(b) (utility scale fossil fuel and hydro projects).
These should be taken into account while setting the appropriate level of equity IRR.
• The project activity tariff structure is a single-part tariff structure as compared to utility scale fossil
fuel and hydro projects, which have two-part tariff structure. This implies that project activity
carries a higher investment risk than the utility scale fossil fuel and hydro projects (Alternative (b))
where the investment recovery is decoupled from the level of actual generation achieved by the
project due to variations in offtake.
Thus, in case of the project activity, issues such as transmission unavailability, back-down of
generation or part-load operations, which are beyond the control of the investors are likely to affect
the project activity more severely and therefore the project activity investors would require higher
rate of return to compensate them for these additional risks.
• In case of utility scale fossil fuel and hydro projects (Alternative (b)), these are by reference to cost-
plus approach whereby the projects recover their full investment cost each year if they are able to
reach specified level of plant availability. In case of the Project, it does not recover its full
investment cost in the initial years as the tariffs are back-loaded. This increases the investment risks
in the project activity compared to the alternatives.
Based on the above considerations, 16% post-tax equity IRR is considered to be the appropriate post-tax
equity return. If the Project has a post-tax equity IRR of less than 16%, then it can be considered to be
additional.
Sub-step 2c. Calculation and comparison of financial indicators (only applicable to options II and III):
5. Calculate the suitable financial indicator for the proposed CDM project activity and, in the case of
Option II above, for the other alternatives. Include all relevant costs (including, for example, the
investment cost, the operations and maintenance costs), and revenues (excluding CER revenues, but
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 11
including subsidies/fiscal incentives where applicable), and, as appropriate, non-market cost and
benefits in the case of public investors.
6. Present the investment analysis in a transparent manner and provide all the relevant assumptions in
the CDM-PDD, so that a reader can reproduce the analysis and obtain the same results. Clearly
present critical techno-economic parameters and assumptions (such as capital costs, fuel prices,
lifetimes, and discount rate or cost of capital). Justify and/or cite assumptions in a manner that can be
validated by the DOE. In calculating the financial indicator, the project’s risks can be included
through the cash flow pattern, subject to project-specific expectations and assumptions (e.g. insurance
premiums can be used in the calculation to reflect specific risk equivalents).
7. Assumptions and input data for the investment analysis shall not differ across the project activity and
its alternatives, unless differences can be well substantiated.
8. Present in the CDM-PDD submitted for validation a clear comparison of the financial indicator for
the proposed CDM activity and:
(a) The alternatives, if Option II (investment comparison analysis) is used. If one of the other
alternatives has the best indicator (e.g. highest IRR), then the CDM project activity can
not be considered as the most financially attractive;
(b) The financial benchmark, if Option III (benchmark analysis) is used. If the CDM project
activity has a less favourable indicator (e.g. lower IRR) than the benchmark, then the
CDM project activity cannot be considered as financially attractive.
Detailed assumptions used and the results of financial analysis for Panama Infrastructure, the project with
the highest equity IRR, is presented below.

The equity IRR for this sub project without CDM revenues is 11.56%, which improves to 15.07% after
considering CDM revenues.
The financial analysis also demonstrates that the equity IRRs of other projects are in the range of 9% to
11.56% i.e. less than the benchmark rate of 16%. Equity IRRs of all sub projects that comprise the project
activity are provided in Appendix 3.
As can be seen from above, the Project is not the most financially attractive (as per step 2c para 8a) we
proceed to Step 4 (Common practice analysis).
Sub-step 4a. Analyze other activities similar to the proposed project activity:
1. Provide an analysis of any other activities implemented previously or currently underway that are
similar to the proposed project activity. Projects are considered similar if they are in the same
country/region and/or rely on a broadly similar technology, are of a similar scale, and take place in a
comparable environment with respect to regulatory framework, investment climate, access to
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 14
technology, access to financing, etc. Other CDM project activities are not to be included in this
analysis. Provide quantitative information where relevant.
2. If similar activities are widely observed and commonly carried out, it calls into question the claim
that the proposed project activity is financially unattractive (as contended in Step 2) or faces barriers
(as contended in Step 3). Therefore, if similar activities are identified above, then it is necessary to
demonstrate why the existence of these activities does not contradict the claim that the proposed
project activity is financially unattractive or subject to barriers. This can be done by comparing the
proposed project activity to the other similar activities, and pointing out and explaining essential
distinctions between them that explain why the similar activities enjoyed certain benefits that
rendered it financially attractive (e.g., subsidies or other financial flows) or did not face the barriers to
which the proposed project activity is subject.
3. Essential distinctions may include a serious change in circumstances under which the proposed CDM
project activity will be implemented when compared to circumstances under which similar projects
where carried out. For example, new barriers may have arisen, or promotional policies may have
ended, leading to a situation in which the proposed CDM project activity would not be implemented
without the incentive provided by the CDM. The change must be fundamental and verifiable.
We analyze the extent to which wind energy projects have diffused in the electricity sector in Karnataka.
In 2004 – 05, wind electricity generation was 485.57 GWh and the total electricity availability at bus-bar
in the state of Karnataka was 33,523.92 GWh (Source: CEA General Review 2006). This works out to
1.45%, showing that wind energy power generation is insignificant as compared to other power project
generation sources in Karnataka.
Installed capacity of wind energy generation sources stood at 276 MW as of 31 March 2005 (Source:
CEA General Review 2006). There are approximately 201 MW wind energy projects that are currently in
the CDM pipeline (UNFCCC website) and more are expected to follow.
Clearly, wind power project development in Karnataka is insignificant when compared to the power
sector of Karnataka. Further, wind power project development is substantially dependent on CDM
mechanism and thus is not common practice.
Explain how the approval and registration of the project activity as a CDM activity, and the attendant
benefits and incentives derived from the project activity, will alleviate the economic and financial hurdles
(Step 2) or other identified barriers (Step 3) and thus enable the project activity to be undertaken.
Registering the project activity as a CDM activity provides a significant amount of revenue, improving
the project’s cash flow and improving the equity IRR by 3.74%. The revenues from sale of the Certified
Emission Reductions would enhance the viability of the project and would partially offset the risks
associated with the possible changes in policy, wind regime, project implementation risks (time and cost
overruns), etc. Further, CER revenues will be high quality cash flows coming from creditworthy parties
and denominated in foreign currency. The CDM revenues will attract new players to wind investments in

Karnataka, as they provide compensation for the regulatory and project risks implicit in the wind power
projects.
Baseline Emissions for the amount of electricity supplied by project activity, BEy is calculated as
where EGy is the electricity supplied to the grid, EFy is the CO2 emission factor of the grid as calculated
below.
The emission factor EFy of the grid is represented as a combination of the Operating Margin (OM) and
the Build Margin (BM). Considering the emission factors for these two margins as EFOM,y and EFBM,y,
then the EFy is given by:
with respective weight factors wOM and wBM (where wOM + wBM = 1).
As per ACM0002, dispatch data analysis should be the first methodological choice. However, this option
is not selected because the information required to calculate OM based on dispatch data is not available in
the public domain for the Southern electricity regional grid.
The Simple Operating Margin approach is appropriate to calculate the Operating Margin emission factor
applicable in this case. As per ACM 0002 the Simple OM method can only be used where low cost must
run resources constitute less than 50% of grid generation based on average of the five most recent years.
The generation profile of the Southern grid in the last five years is as follows:
1
Throughout the document, the suffix y denotes that such parameter is a function of the year y, thus to be monitored at least
annually.

page 16
Source: Table 3.4 of CEA General Review 2004-05, 2003-04, 2002-03, 2001-02, 2000-01
From the available information it is clear that low cost/must run sources account for less than 50% of the
total generation in the Southern grid in the last five years. Hence the Simple OM method is appropriate to
calculate the Operating Margin Emission factor applicable.
The Build Margin emission factor EF_BMy (tCO2/GWh) is given as the generation-weighted average
emission factor of the selected representative set of recent power plants represented by the 5 most recent
plants or the most recent 20% of the generating units built (summation is over such plants specified by
k):2
as the default method. The summation over i and k is for the fuels and electricity generation of the plants
in sample m mentioned above.
The choice of method for the sample plant is the most recent 20% of the generating units built as this
represents a significantly larger set of plants, for a large regional electricity grid have a large number of
power plants connected to it, and is therefore appropriate.
The Central Electricity Authority, Ministry of Power, Government of India has published a database of
Carbon Dioxide Emission from the power sector in India based on detailed authenticated information
obtained from all operating power stations in the country. This database i.e. The CO2 Baseline Database
provides information about the Operating Margin and Build Margin Emission Factors of all the regional
electricity grids in India. The Operating Margin in the CEA database is calculated ex ante using the
Simple OM approach and the Build Margin is calculated ex ante based on 20% most recent capacity
additions in the grid based on net generation as described in ACM0002. We have, therefore, used the

Operating Margin and Build Margin data published in the CEA database, for calculating the Baseline
Emission Factor.
As already mentioned, baseline emission factor (EFy) of the grid is calculated as a combined margin
(CM), calculated as the weighted average of the operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) factor. In
case of wind power projects default weights of 0.75 for EFOM and 0.25 for EFBM are applicable as per
ACM0002. No alternate weights are proposed.
Using the values for operating margin and build margin emission factors provided in the CEA database
and their respective weights for calculation of combined margin emission factor, the baseline carbon
emission factor (CM) is 932.04 tCO2e/GWh or 0.93204 tCO2e/MWh.
Project Emissions:
The project activity uses wind power to generate electricity and hence the emissions from the project
activity are taken as nil.
PEy = 0
Leakage:
Emissions Leakage on account of the project activity is ignored in accordance with ACM0002.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of this project is not an essential regulatory requirement, as it is
not covered under the categories as described in EIA Notification of 1994 or the Amended Notification of
2006. However, Enercon conducted the EIA to study impacts on the environment resulting from the
project activity.
The EIA study included identification, prediction and evaluation of potential impacts of the CDM
activities on air, water, noise, land, biological and socio-economic environment within the study area. The
ambient air concentrations of Suspended Particulate Matter, Respirable Particulate Matter, Oxides of
Nitrogen, Sulphur dioxide and Carbon Monoxide were monitored and were found under limits as
specified by CPCB. The noise levels were observed through out the study period and were found to be in
the permissible range. Water quality monitoring studies were carried out for determination of physico-
chemical characteristics of bore wells. The ph level of water was found to be under the specified limits.
The study area represents part of Chitradurga and Gadag districts. The terrain comprises hilly areas
which are sparingly populated, the hills are generally covered with shrubs and grass and trees are not
found on the hilltops. Moreover the project area doesn’t fall under any protected land for wildlife and it
has no adverse ecological impacts on the surroundings, flora and fauna found in the vicinity of the project
area. The wind-farms do not effect the path of migratory birds.
D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host
Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental
impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party:
>>
EIA demonstrated that there is no major impact on the environment due to the installation and operation
of the windmills. The local ecology is not likely to get impacted by this type of project activity. The local
population confirmed that there is no noise or dust nuisance due to windmills. The EIA also ruled out any
adverse impacts due to the project activity.
E.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled:
>>
The comments from local stakeholders were invited through local stakeholder meeting conducted on 2
September at Arashinagundi Village, Hiriyur in Chitradurga District and 15 June 2006 in Dhoni,
Mundaragi in Gadag district. An advertisement was placed in a local newspaper in Vijaya Karnataka on
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
page 23
19 August 2006 inviting the local stakeholders for the meeting for the Chitradurga district projects and in
Vijaya Karnataka on 4 June 2006 for the Gadag district projects.
The local stakeholder consultation meeting had representatives from the nearby villages, representatives
of Enercon and representative of Aditya Environmental Services (consultant to Enercon) in Chitradurga
district and representative of Care Sustainability (consultant to Enercon) in Gadag district. The minutes
of the two meetings are set out in Appendix 2.
Chitradurga district:
The local stakeholders commented that the development of wind projects has helped the local villagers
and provided employment. Further, there is no impact of windmills on the rainfall in the region. The
local stakeholders queried Enercon if any afforestation work is being conducted, impact on ground water,
generation capacity of the machine, if public can purchase the machines and whether revenue land is used
wherever electricity overhead lines pass through.
The local villagers responded to the questions queries made by Enercon by stating that there is no noise
pollution as the projects are located in hilltops and away from villages. Further, there is no water draining
and soil erosion due to wind mills and there has been no problem with No cattle grazing in the hills.
There has been better food production due to better quality of electricity and less load shedding. There
has been no deforestation noticed except while road formation and installation of machines and no
damage or accidents during construction or erection.
Gadag district:
The local stakeholders commented that there is no adverse impact of wind project activities including no
adverse impact on livelihood. The local villages do not use the hill tops or slopes for cattle grazing.
There is no impact on ground water or supply of water to agriculture fields. There is no disturbance or
high noise level due to operation of the wind mills. There have been no accidents and no disturbance or
heavy traffic on account of wind mills. No dust emissions were observed at project site or in the
neighbourhood. The wind projects have not affected migratory path of birds. There have been local
employment opportunities. Improvement in quality of electricity supply has been observed.
The local stakeholders suggested that in addition to planting medicinal plants at the project site, Enercon
should also plant them at the down plains. Enercon should extend help to villagers by providing
“lift/transportation” and additional watchmen should be deployed to warn of forest fire.
E.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received:
>>
Enercon provided the following responses in relation to the comments received from the local
stakeholders in Chitradurga district:
• Enercon is carrying out afforestation work in all the hills where the wind turbines are installed.

MONITORING INFORMATION
• Metering: Electricity supplied to the grid is metered by the Parties (KPTCL, Enercon and the
Project) at the high voltage side of the step up transformer installed at the Project Site.
• Metering Equipment: Metering equipment is electronic trivector meters of accuracy class 0.2%
required for the Project (both main and check meters). The main meter is installed and owned by the
Project, whereas check meters are owned by KPTCL. The metering equipment is maintained in
accordance with electricity standards prevalent in Karnataka. The meters installed are capable of
recording and storing half hourly readings of all the electrical parameters for a minimum period of 35
days with digital output.
• Meter Readings: The monthly meter readings (both main and check meters) is taken jointly by the
parties on the first day of the following month at 12 Noon. At the conclusion of each meter reading an
appointed representative of KPTCL and Enercon sign a document indicating the number of Kilowatt-
hours indicated by the main meter.
• Inspection of Energy Meters: All the main and check energy meters (export and import) and all
associated instruments, transformers installed at the Project are of 0.2% accuracy class. Each meter is
jointly inspected and sealed on behalf of the Parties and is not to be interfered with by either Party
except in the presence of the other Party or its accredited representatives.
• Meter Test Checking: All the main and check meters are tested (and calibrated if found necessary)
for accuracy on annual basis with reference to a portable standard meter. The portable standard meter
is owned by KPTCL. The main and check meters shall be deemed to be working satisfactorily if the
errors are within specifications for meters of 0.2 accuracy class. The consumption registered by the
main meters alone will hold good for the purpose of metering electricity supplied to the grid as long
as the error in the main meters is within the permissible limits.

the current test. Meter reading for the period thereafter till the next monthly reading shall be as
per the calibrated main meter.
• If during any of the monthly meter readings, the variation between the main meter and the check
meter is more than the permissible limit for meters of 0.2% accuracy class, all the meters shall be
re-tested and calibrated immediately.
