Current situation versus the vision?
PoA Vision:
a)Reduce transaction costs and facilitate dispersed projects. b)Small projects targeted particularly from under-represented or LDC countries to participate in CDMc)Scale-up and accelerate emission reduction activities
Actual situation
1. Limited private sector involvement in PoAs due to market and regulatory barriers.
2. Regulatory uncertainty (regulations, procedures, eligibility criteria, liability etc)
3. Complexity in applying methodologies and tools
RESULT: PoA implementation largely with public finance and capacity building support.

• Current approach for CPA inclusion into a PoA requires that a CPA is a collection of individual micro activities (e.g., a CFL); where additionality assessment is then on the CPA level and monitoring by each CPA.
• The current approach is not appropriate for dispersed micro activities that are triggered by carbon co-financed incentive scheme. A group of micro activities have to be artificially presented as a CPA and assessed like a stand alone projects/project entities for the purpose of an additionality assessment.
• Need a new PoA additionality approach, especially for activities in LDCs/SIDs, under-represented countries & special underdeveloped regions within a country
PoA reform – additionality at the micro level
PoA additionality approach for micro activities:1.Assess individual micro unit through eligibility criteria (e.g., SHS, biogas digester)
2.PoAs on micro activities within LDCs/SIDs and underdeveloped zones are additional if <=5MW RE or <=20GWh EE or <=20 Kt/y category III AND the PoA (with all subsystems/measures are located in LDC/SID or special underdeveloped zone.
3.PoAs and subsystems/measures are additional if each independent subsystem/measure in the project activity is equal or smaller to the following thresholds 750kW for RE, 600MWh for EE, 600 tCO2eq/y for Type III activities AND end-users are HH/low income communities, SMEs.

PoA Reform – Baseline emissions
• No clear guidance on how to assess impact of mandatory law on baseline emissions
– Methodologies are not clear on how any program that is helping to achieve the greater compliance of the mandatory law should be treated especially for calculating the baseline emissions
– Does the program require monitoring the compliance percentage and adjust the emission reductions?
– How to calculate the compliance percentage?
– What is the threshold for considering that the program has helped the law achieving compliance percentage? 50% or 75% or 100%??
– Should we build in an “autonomous improvement factor”? Say 2-3% per year that can be discounted from the emission reduction calculation?
Clarification needed: As methodology is silent on this very important aspect (should apply to all programs helps mandatory laws for greater enforcement), developers might be forced to adopt overly conservative approaches forfeiting the benefits envisaged by the program.

• Current approach: monitoring requirements over burdensome. Extensive monitoring data, expensive surveys and data requirements.
• Sampling: Attaining a large economy of scale under a PoA is predicated, in part, on employing sampling procedures during verification. Without sampling procedures, all CPAs have to be visited by the DOE, resulting in enormous verification costs
• Allow deeming, especially for micro activities, with flexibility in sampling
PoA reform – monitoring
New monitoring approach for PoAs :1.Materiality – the concept can greatly assist with methodological barriers.
2.Sampling – Need sampling guidance for PoAs. Flexibility could be introduced i.e. larger sample and less regular survey vs smaller samples more regular survey e.g. SSC-I.I: “Biogas/biomass use for thermal applications for households/small users” (top down developed approved EB59)
3.Standardized approaches such as defaults (e.g. energy savings default values, building energy efficiency modeling estimates) or benchmarks if data available.

• Current procedures allow submission of requests for combining methodologies but it is not clear how these are to be processed. E.g. can combine III methodologies with more than one type I methodology as may be needed if some CPAs generate heat whilst others generate electricity.
• Debundling rules – inconsistency between PoA and CDM. Under the traditional CDM, two project activities are not considered as de-bundled components of a large-scale activity provided the first has been registered more than 2 years earlier
• Verification – problematic due to strict liability faced by DOEs.
PoA reform – procedures
Clarify procedures1.Define process for requests for methodology combinations
2.Define timelines for PoA procedures
3.Address liability issue.
4.Allow CPA to start "before" consultation. CPA can start after PoA published for GSP

Why expand PoA rules to allow City-wide programs?
Emission reduction projects in cities currently have limited opportunity to access CDM as
1.Typically projects in cities, except for large landfill or composting t projects in cities, yield small volumes of ERs2.Developers & Bundling agents need clearances from city council for each project3.Lack of good bundling agents and CMEs to support projects across multiple cities

Expanding PoA rules to allow City-wide programs
Pros:1.The CME, City Mayor or Manager’s office, is a reputed, well-established, geographically definable government entity2.The CME is legally responsible for provision of urban services and will have long term control over operation of each project3.Each project is distinct and uniquely identifiable, with a specific department or unit in the city responsible for its management4.Additionality related eligibility for joining PoA can be defined, validated and tracked over time, based on either investment or barrier analysis5.Validation or verification site-visits are limited to a single city6.No possibility of double counting as the city maintains complete data7.Others?
Cons:1.No CDM rules on developing, validating or verifying such PoAs2.Each CPA uses a different methodology, so validation and verification is not easy3.A new city government may not want to continue with the program4.Others?
