F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
The default emission factor is set in a conservative manner for the Indonesian regional grids.
The emission factor is calculated based on the conservative operating margin that reflects on thelatest electricity mix including low cost/must run resources for each regional grid in Indonesia
during 2012-2014 and refers to the conservative emission factor of each fossil fuel power plantin order to secure net emission reductions. The conservative emission factor of each plant iscalculated to be 0.795 t-CO2/MWh for coal-fired power plant and 0.320 t-CO2/MWh for
gas-fired power plant based on the survey on heat efficiency of power plant in Indonesia. Theemission factor for diesel power plant is calculated to be 0.533 t-CO2/MWh based on a default
heat efficiency of 49%, an efficiency level which is above the value of the world’s leading
diesel power generators.
In case the PV system(s) in a proposed project activity is directly connected or connected via aninternal grid, not connecting to a captive power generator, to a regional grid (PV Case 1), the valueof operating margin including LCMR resources, using the best heat efficiency among currently
operational plants in Indonesia in calculating emission factors of fossil fuel power plants, areapplied.

In the case the PV system(s) in a proposed project activity is connected to an internal gridconnecting to both a regional grid and a captive power generator (PV Case 2), the lower values
between emission factors as shown in column “Emission factor for PV Case 1 (t-CO2/MWh)” ofTable 1 of the additional information and the conservative emission factors of diesel-fired3

power plant of 0.533 t-CO2/MWh is applied. The emission factors to be applied are shown incolumn “Emission factor for PV Case 2 (t-CO2/MWh)” of Table 1 of the additional information.
In the case that the PV system(s) in a proposed project activity is only connected to an internal
grid connecting to a captive power generator (PV Case 3), the emission factor of a diesel
generator calculated by applying the most efficient heat efficiency of 49%, an efficiency level
which has not been achieved yet by the world’s leading diesel generator is applied, which is set
to 0.533 tCO2/MWh.
The result of emission factors for each case is shown in Section I.

F.2. Calculation of reference emissions

RE୮ = ෍൫EG୧,୮ × EFୖ୉,୧ ൯୧

REp: Reference emissions during the period p [tCO2/p]

EGi,p: Quantity of the electricity generated by the project solar PV system i during theperiod p [MWh/p]
