  1. PoA Standards • Courtney Blodgett • Joint Coordination Workshop, Bonn • 24 March 2012

  2. New PoA Standards • Standard for demonstration of additionality, development of eligibility criteria and application of multiple methodologies for Programme of Activities • Approved EB 65 • Also relevant: Standard for sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities • Approved EB 65

  3. Key challenges of PoA standards - timing • Deadline of 25 July for uploading for registration • 226 PoAs in validation* • 15 PoAs submitted in February • Average time for start of comment period to requesting registration: 255 days, approximately 8.5 months • Average time from requesting registration until registration: 100 days (approximately 3.3 months) • = Already a tight schedule for being registered by 2012 • High number of PoAs in non- LDCs: 32 PoAs in China, 27 in South Africa, 22 in India, 12 in Indonesia, 10 in Kenya • Compliance with the standards adds further complications/ possible delays to validation * March 2012 CDM Pipeline, UNEP Risoe

  4. Key challenges of PoA standards - Implementation • Co-ordinating & Managing Entity (CME) Manual • Useful document for thinking long term • But adds significant complications during validation • 20 – 40 page document • Adds a substantial amount of extra work (and therefore adds to the cost) during validation which adds to the 2012 time pressure • Currently no precedence for a CME manual • A standardized optional template would be useful for facilitating writing and validation

  5. Sampling and survey standards • Single sampling plan covering a group of Component Project Activities (CPAs) now allowed • For micro or small scale PoAs applying a 95/10 confidence/precision • When there is either homogeneity of included CPAs or the differences among the included CPAs is taken into account in the sample size calculation • Highly relevant for i.e. energy efficient lighting and cookstove PoAs • Reduces transaction costs by not needing to sample each and every CPA • Very positive step: remains to be seen how DOEs apply the standards during validation
