The project proponent shall adhere to all instructional text within the template.” Section 2.4 of the VCS Joint Project Description and Monitoring Report Template, v3.1requires project proponents to identify the baseline scenario in accordance with the procedure set out in the applied methodology and relevant tools. Section 2.4 of the project description states, “The benchmark has been considered in accordance with Guidance 17 and 18 of Tool 57.” However, the tool used is Tool 27Methodological Tool: Investment Analysis. In addition, Section 2.4 states, “As the project is located in Thailand, therefore, the applicable geographical area is Thailand and projects in the host country India have been chosen for analysis.” However, the project proponent has identified Thailand as the host country for the location of the project activity. The VVB is therefore requested to clarify these errors. Please update all documents accordingly.

Also the  identified baseline for the project activity is the most likely scenario of what would have occurred  in the absence of the project activity and is confirmed by TA expert on the team; thus it is  accepted. The project participant has included all sources and references used for baseline  determination for the project activity in the PD/1/ and the identified baseline is justified  appropriately by the project participant. The Baseline scenario and base line emission calculations  are found as per ACM0002 version 19.0.0/4/. The combined margin approach is the ex -ante  approach as per tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system. Based on the  requirements of paragraph 83 of the VVS version 02.0 /1 0/, the validation team confirm that:  (a) All the assumptions and data used by the PP are listed in the VCS joint PD & MR, including  their references and sources;  (b) All documentation used is relevant for establishing the baseline scenario and cor rectly quoted  and interpreted in the PD;  (c) Assumptions and data used in the identification of the baseline scenario are justified  appropriately, supported by evidence and can be deemed reasonable;  (d) Relevant national and/or sectoral policies and circum stances a",

The Energy  Industry Act, 2007 , does not restrict the choice of fuel for power generation. Moreover, it does not  mandate electricity generation from wind projects, although it promote s the use of renewabl e  sources of energy .

  "results": "The baseline scenario for the carbon project is defined using the approved consolidated Methodology ACM0002 (Version 19.0, EB 100, Annex 6) paragraph 22. This methodology specifies that the baseline scenario for a project involving the installation of a Greenfield power plant, like wind turbine generators (WTGs) in this case, assumes that the 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. This is reflected in the combined margin (CM) calculations as described in the \"Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system,\" Version 7.0, EB 100, Annex 4. In absence of the project, the equivalent amount of power would have been supplied to the electricity grid primarily by fossil fuel-fired plants and by the addition of new generation sources, as calculated by the CM. Therefore, the baseline scenario is the equivalent amount of power from the Thailand National grid, with the CM being the result of a weighted average of two emission factors pertaining to the electricity system: the operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM). The combined margin approach is used as per the tool for calculating the emission factor for an electricity system, and the identified baseline examines what would have occurred in the absence of the project activity, confirmed to be the continual use of highly carbon-intensive electricity in the regional grid (Joint Project Description & Monitoring Report: VCS Version 3 v3.1)."
