C.4. Emission sources and calculation of emission reductions<Means of validation>
The electricity produced by the project is supplied to the Central Energy System of
Costa Rica displacing electricity generation by fossil-fuel based power plants. The
proposed JCM project applies the proposed methodology CR_AM001 "Installation of7

JCM_CR_F_Val_Rep_ver01.0

Solar PV System version01.0”.
The source of reference emission is electricity consumption of national grid and thesource of project emissions is the electricity generation from the project Solar PV
system.
By the document reviews and on-site visit, it is confirmed that all relevant GHG
emission sources covered in the applied methodology are included.
The MPS is prepared by using JCM_CR_AM001_ver01.0.xlsx. The Team confirmsthat it is not altered, and its required fields are appropriately filled in.
As for project specific parameters to be fixed ex ante, the Team assessed theestimated value by reviewing documents including the specifications of the projectequipment.
EFRE,i : Reference emission factor for the project solar PV system i [tCO2/MWh]
The source of this parameter is defined in the applied methodology. In
accordance with the applied methodology, the value for EFRE,i is derived from theemission factor of the national grid (EFRE,grid) or the emission factor of captive
diesel power generator (EFRE,cap). By the document reviews and on-site visit, theTeam confirms that the PV system of the project is directly connected to thenational grid and not to the internal grid and that the reference emission factor
was fixed at 0.255 tCO2/MWh. This value is lower than the latest emission factor
officially published for a CDM project in Costa Rica, which is 0.273 tCO2/MWh(combined margin, 2010-2012).

The Team determines that data sources and assumptions are appropriate for thisparameter, which the value is in line with the applied methodology.
