General description of project activity PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board A.1 page 3 Title of the project activity: Song Giang 2 Hydro Power Project Version 1.1 November 15, 2006 A.2. Description of the project activity: The Song Giang Hydropower Project involves the construction of a 30 MW power plant consisting of 2 units of 15 MW each on the on downstream of Giang stream which is a branch of Cai river under Khanh Trung commune, Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province. The estimated annual gross power generation is about 99.3 million kWh and about 98.31 million kWh will be fed to the national grid. The project will result in a small reservoir with area of only 2 ha and so the power density rate of 1500 W/m2, very much higher than the level of 10 W/m2. The objective of the Song Giang 2 Hydropower Project is to generate renewable electricity utilizing hydroelectric resources in the Giang river and sell the generated power to Vietnam General Power Company. The project’s contributions to the sustainable development of local area as well as the host country are as follows: − The project will generate renewable energy based electricity. This hydro power will support partly with increasing electricity demand in Khanh Hoa province and Vietnam. During last 15 years the electricity demand of country is continuously increasing with an annual growth rate about 13-14%. It is obvious that the investment in the power generation sector in Vietnam is a great burden to the state budget which could not be effectively met with. During the summer 2005, the Northern areas were short of about 10GWh per day with frequent blackouts in the cities, thereby causing a big loss to the industry. This problem may occur during 2006 and expected to be recurring. To mobilize the investment resources, the Government encourages all enterprises to invest into power generation and the proposed project is a good response to this need. − Khanh Hoa is fairly developed province in the South of Vietnam with natural area of 5,198.2 km2, population by the end of 2004 of 1,111,300 people and GDP of about 11771.4 billion VND (about 740 million USD) in 2004. When the proposed project comes into operation, average 12.36 billion VND (tax) per year will be added to the local budget, make up 0.105 % of the province’s GDP of 2004. In addition, it will contribute to completion of traffic system in the area by newly constructing or improving roads; create favourable conditions to local people living and production, goods transport, travel and exchange between areas in the territory and reduce the cultural and economic gap between ethnical groups and areas in the region; especially more jobs during the period of construction and operation will be created on-site; demands on food and supplies will promote agricultural goods items and commercial services among local communities; the local economic structure will be growing from rice cultivation to husbandry and aquaculture. These will largely push forward economic development and improve living standard of the province and nearby communes. In addition, the proposed project will supply electricity to nearby communes directly from plant since the project is planned to share a part of PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 4 electricity generated for self use to these communes. Thus the proposed project will contribute the solution of basic needs -roads and electricity - for above mentioned communes. − The project activity will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission by avoiding electricity generation and CO2 emissions from the national electricity grid. Total expected CO2 emission reductions from the proposed project have been estimated to a total of 572,106 tCO2 during the crediting period of 10 years. − The project will stimulate and accelerate the development of renewable energy technologies in order to reduce GHGs emissions, to protect the environment, to conserve the country energy resources while responding to increasing energy demand and energy resource diversification imperatives necessary for national sustainable economic growth. It is congruent with energy policies of Vietnam; therefore it satisfies the sustainable development criteria for CDM project, established by Designated National Authority (DNA) of Vietnam. A.3.

CDM – Executive Board page 5 – off – river plant, grid connected hydro power station of 2 units of 15 MW each with an average annual power output of about 99.3 million kWh and about 98.31 million kWh of power will be fed to the national grid. When Song Giang 1 hydro power plant will be constructed on upstream side then average annual power output of the plant will be increased up to 118.24 million kWh so about 116.46 million kWh of power will be fed to the grid. The project will include a very small reservoir with area of only 2 ha and so power density rate is 1500 W/m2, very much higher than the level of 10 W/m2 The main design parameters of the Song Giang 2 Hydropower plant are shown in the following table: Table 1: Main parameters of the Song Giang 2 Hydropower plant No Description Unit Value I Catchment 1 Catchment area for flood calculation km2 123 2 Mean annual rainfall mm 2,350 3 Mean annual discharge (Q0) m3/s 5.96 4 Total volume of mean annual flow 106 m3 188 II Reservoir 1 Normal water level (MNDBT) m 415 2 Minimum operating level (MOL) m 410 3 Checked flood water level (p = 0.2) m 421.92 4 Storage at MNDBT (Wtb) 103 m3 160.0 5 Area of reservoir surface at MNDBT ha Active storage (Whi) 3 6 III 1 10 m 80.0 m3/s 1,232 (1,462) Discharge through powerhouse Insurance discharge Q (p = 1 %) Q (p = 0.2 %) 2 IV 2 3 Maximum discharge Qmax 1,581 (1,920) 3 m /s 10.93 Head 1 Maximum head (Hmax) m 256.22 2 Minimum head (Hmin) m 310.21 3 Rated head (Htt) m 338.46 PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.

CDM – Executive Board page 13 SECTION B.B.Application of of a baseline and monitoring methodology SECTION Application a baseline and monitoring methodology B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the project activity: Baseline Methodology: Baseline Methodology ACM0002 version 06 “Consolidated baseline methodology for gridconnected electricity generation from renewable sources”, which was approved by Executive Board in its 16th meeting and revised in its 24th meeting, is applied to the proposed project. Monitoring Methodology Monitoring Methodology ACM0002 version 06 “Consolidated monitoring methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources”, which was approved by CDM Executive Board in its 16th meeting and revised in its 24th meeting, is applied to the proposed project. B.2 Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project activity: The baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 is applied because of following reasons: + The project will generate renewable energy based electricity from a hydropower sources. The project will increase a very small reservoir having power density rate of 1500 W/m2, much higher than the level of 10 W/m2. + The project is not an activity that involves switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy at the site of the project. + The national electricity grid is clear defined and information on the characteristics of the national electricity grid is available. B.3. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary As described in the methodology, the project boundary includes: + The physical site of the Song Giang 2 hydropower plant as well as its reservoir area. + The project site and all power plants (in the baseline) connected physical to the national electricity grid. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 14 Giang river Construction of access roads, foundations, substation, transmission lines Song Giang 2 hydro power plant Vietnam National Electricity grid Transmission and distribution of power End user Transport of project equipment materials Construction of project equipment This is a renewable energy project so emission of the project is zero. The main emissions potentially giving rise to leakage in the context of electric sector project are emission arising due to activities such as: + Power plant construction, + Fuel handling (extraction, processing and transport) and + Land inundation. Emission gases in the project boundary include: + Emission gases from decay of vegetation cover in the reservoir area when it is stored water: CH4, CO2, SO2 .etc. + Emission gases from production and transportation of construction materials (as: cement, brick .etc): CO2, SO2, NOx .etc. However, project participants do not need to consider these emission sources as leakage in applying methodology ACM0002. B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified baseline scenario: The baseline scenario is that electricity delivered to the national grid by the project would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation mainly based on coal and oil resources. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 15 The selection of the national electricity grid for the baseline is conservative because of the following reasons: if the coal or oil fired power plants will be substituted by the proposed project, the baseline emission factor will be 1177.91 gCO2 per kWh or 800 gCO2 per kWh2 respectively. But the national grid’s emission factor (NGEF) is only 580.61 gCO2 per kWh (see below); hence NGEF is much less than coal or oil emission factors. Calculation of baseline emission factor of the national electricity grid Following the methodology, the baseline emission factor (EF) is calculated as a combined margin (CM), consisting of the combination of operating margin (OM) and build margin (BM) factors according to the following three steps: • Step1: Operating Margin emission factor (EFOM) • Step2: Build Margin emission factor (EFBM) • Step3: Calculate the baseline emission factor EF Step1: Operating Margin emission factor (EFOM) The Simple OM method can be used in the project because of the two following reasons: + Dispatch data is available only in Vietnam Dispatching Center, currently these data is confidential and can not be accessed. So Dispatch Data Analysis based OM method can not be selected. + Low-cost/must run resources in Vietnam constitute less than 50% of total grid generation in average of the five most recent years Table 4: Rate of low cost/must-run sources based on generation3 Year 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Average Rate of low cost/must-run sources generation, % 59.43 48.25 47.24 38.53 34.53 45.6 The Simple OM emission factor (EFOM,simple,y) is calculated as the generation-weighted average emissions per electricity unit (tCO2/MWh) of all generating sources serving the system, not including low-operating cost and must-run power plants: EF_OMy = ∑i, j Fi, j,y * COEFi, j ∑ j GEN j,y Where: Fi ,j, y is the amount of fuel i (in a mass or volume unit) consumed by relevant power sources j in year(s) y, 1 Baseline calculation for Vietnam national electricity grid, Vietnam DNA Appendix B of the simplified M&P for small scale CDM project activities (UNFCCC, 2003b) 3 Master Plan of Electricity Expansion for period of 2001-2010 with perspective to 2015 – Electricity Corporation of Viet Nam 2 PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 16 j refers to the power sources delivering electricity to the grid, not including lowoperating cost and must-run power plants, and including imports to the grid, COEFi,j y is the CO2 emission coefficient of fuel i (tCO2 / mass or volume unit of the fuel), taking into account the carbon content of the fuels used by relevant power sources j and the percent oxidation of the fuel in year(s) y, and GENj,y is the electricity (MWh) delivered to the grid by source j. The CO2 emission coefficient COEFi is obtained as COEFi = NCVi * EFCO2,i * OXIDi Where: NCVi is the net calorific value (energy content) per mass or volume unit of a fuel i, OXIDi is the oxidation factor of the fuel EFCO2,i is the CO2 emission factor per unit of energy of the fuel i. (Ex-ante) the full generation – weighted average for the most recent 3 years for which data are available at the time of PDD submission is used to calculate the Simple OM emission factor.

For the proposed project, Option 1 shall be chosen: Calculate the Build Margin emission factor EFBM, y ex-ante based on the most recent information available on plants already built for sample group m at the time of PDD submission. The sample group m consists of either the five power plants that have been built most recently; or the power plant capacity additions in the electricity system that comprise 20% of the system generation (in GWh) and that have been built most recently. Sample group that comprises the larger annual generation should be used. The difference between (1) the five power plants that have been built most recently and (2) the power plant capacity additions in the electricity system that comprise 20% of the system generation (in GWh) and that have been built most recently in 2005 is shown in the following tables: Table 6: the difference between (1) and (2) in 2005 7 The five power plants Name Outputs GWh Name Capacity MW Outputs GWh 1.

Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity (assessment and demonstration of additionality): a. Description of emission reductions The CO2 emission reduction will be calculated on basic of the substitution of the mix of power supplied from traditional electricity plants to the national grid. Thus the implementation of the proposed project activity will generate a total emission reduction of 572,106 tCO2 during the crediting period (10 years). 8 Source: Master Plan of Electricity Expansion for period of 2001-2010 with perspective to 2015 - EVN PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 19 b. Demonstration and assessment the additionality of the proposed project. According to the methodology ACM0002 version 06, the additionality of the proposed project will be demonstrated and assessed by using the “Tool for demonstration and assessment of additionality” agreed by the CDM Executive Board. It includes the following steps: Step 0: Preliminary screening based on the starting date of the project activity The crediting period of the project activity will start after the registration of the project activity, so this step does not apply to the project activity. Step 1: Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with current laws and regulations Sub-step 1a: Define alternatives to the project activity In absence of the proposed project, there is no any other potential power source expected to develop at the site because of the poor potential of other renewable energy resources (solar, wind, etc). Projects based on coal, gas and diesel will also not be implemented due to difficult transportation of fuels. In addition, the project sponsor also did not propose to develop any other power project alternatives like coal-fired or wind or solar power plant since they have no background and expertise. Hence there is only the following alternative: + Continuation of the current situation: this alternative is most likely to dominate. This means an equivalent amount of power would be supplied by different power plants (dominated by fossil fuel resources) to the national grid and an equivalent amount of emissions would be generated at thermal power plants. This alternative is thus a part of the baseline scenario. Sub-step 1b: Enforcement of applicable laws and regulations All alternatives are in compliance with the laws and regulatory requirements in Vietnam. Step 2: Investment analysis Sub-step 2a: Determine appropriate analysis method The proposed project activity generates financial and economic benefits other than CDM related income and hence the simple cost analysis (Option I) can not be applied. As there is only one alternative scenario among the remaining two options, Option III was chosen. Sub-step 2b – Option III: Apply benchmark analysis The identified financial indicator is Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) The relevant benchmark is the recommendation of the Asia Development Bank9: “The EIRR of independent projects in Vietnam should be at least 12%” and the minimum EIRR criterion of 12% the project participants. Sub-step 2c: Calculation and comparison of financial indicators Revenue of the proposed project comes only from the electricity sale in the case of the absence the revenue from CER credits. Financial analysis by the project participants has concluded that 9 ADB’s Guidelines for the Economic Analysis of Projects PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 20 EIRR of the project is 10.10 % based on very optimistic assumptions. Such assumptions are described as following: + A significant assumption is that average electricity price is 3.8 Cent/kWh. This is the high price among the range of electricity purchase price by Electricity of Vietnam (EVN-Who is responsible for national grid management) who has already committed with project’s sponsor. + The equipment costs is calculated at basic price level + A series of risks of project, country, currency (electricity outputs decrease, country inflation with minimum rate of 5%, oil price growth, etc) are not taken into consideration. Therefore, this EIRR of 10.10 % can be regarded as very optimistic figure. But it is less than the benchmark of 12%, it hence can be concluded that the proposed project is unlikely to be financially attractive. Step 3: Barrier analysis Beside the economic/financial barrier in Step 2, the proposed project has faced the following three barriers which also would prevent it from being carried out if it is not registered as CDM project: 1. Policy barrier Investment cost of the proposed project was calculated in the Feasibility Study based on specific guides in Circulars, Decisions issued by ministries, the government. This Feasibility Study report has been considered and approved related authorities such as ministries, the government, banks, funds and Khanh Hoa People’s Committee. But when the proposed project came into preparation phase, some of these Circulars and Decisions have been changed. This has resulted in the increased investment cost and hence renders the project non-feasible as mentioned Sub-step 2c above. Old and new guidelines and related project investment cost are shown in the following tables: PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.

The proposed project In addition, the project is also facing the policy barrier due to the following three issues: − Lack of Renewable Energy policy (and policy for technologies with less GHG emission) still exists. No incentives are available for renewable energy projects for its category. − Now, there is only one electricity buyer for grid connected plans in Viet Nam is that EVN and especially, in transmission EVN is absolute monopolist. Hence it makes the negotiation of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) very difficult. − Discrimination between state-own and private enterprises still exists. This makes the access to credit sources difficult for private investors and Song Giang Hydro Power Joint _ Stock Company is not an exception. 2. Investment barrier Before the change in the policies as described above, the project was feasible and hence met the conditions of the funds, banks and financing sources which will provide the loan to investor. But since the change in the policies has rendered the project non-feasible, it is difficult for convincing the bank to continue with the loan provided for the project. In addition, Vietnam is a developing country and being in the process of national industrialization and modernization, resulting in implementation of large infrastructure projects. The current consumption and the future demand as forecasted necessitate implementation of many new power plants (associated with huge capital investment) to meet the projected electricity demand for the country. Therefore, only power plants having favourable and attractive financial indicators attract the attention from Vietnam investors, banks and financial institutions. 3. Road barrier To carry out the project, investor must construct a new road of 8 km in length. This is a tortuous road. It is constructed based on side of hills from centre of Khanh Trung commune to the project site so construction of the road will meet many difficulties. Estimated cost is about 24 billion VND. Step 4: Common practice analysis Sub-step 4a: Analyze other activities similar to the proposed project activity PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 23 In order to test whether a credible claim can be made that there are real, prohibitive barriers to development of a project such as the Song Giang 2 Hydro Power Project – third level hydro power project10, hence it is necessary to investigate third level hydro power plants which is under operation or construction in Vietnam. Such hydro power plants are shown in the following table: Table 10: Hydro power plants (3 – 30 MW) developed in Vietnam11 No Plant name Capacity Elec. Load Co.

CDM – Executive Board 10 Ban Coc page 24 18 80.6 51.1 2009 937.6 Investment Company 15.48 Hanoi Construction Corporation Sub-step 4b: Discuss any similar options that are occurring Hydro power projects shown in table 10 could overcome the prohibitive barriers that the proposed project faces because of the following two main reasons: + They possess good economic and technical indicator such as low specific investment cost, high plant load factor and especially high EIRR (above 12%). These indicators demonstrate their feasibility. + Especially, most of these projects are invested and constructed by big state-owned companies who have access to huge capital sources. Step 5: Impact of CDM registration If the proposed project will be registered as a CDM project, it can obtain benefits to overcome its barriers as following: + A significant impact is that an additional revenue source from CDM will improve the project’s EIRR indicator from 10.10 % to 12.11% (with CER price of 8.1 USD/tCO2). This increase in EIRR has already made the project feasible and hence convinced the project sponsor. Especially, the project sponsor can convince banks, funds, others financing sources to obtain loans. + The CDM revenues is the only income the Project Developers will receive in Euro – a strong currency and is the only revenue that can be used to offset the foreign exchange risks that are being incurred for the purchase of the plant’s equipments (to the tune of 18.33 % of the equipment cost) + CDM projects has the potential to assist the country in achieving sustainable development by promoting environmentally friendly investment from industrialized country governments and businesses, thus they are encouraged by the government. Incentive policies for CDM projects have been already submitted by CNA (Vietnam DNA) to the government for consideration. + Sale of CER from the proposed project may be possibly lead to access international funds besides the domestic financing sources. So, the impacts of registration can be clearly demonstrated for the proposed project as a CDM activity. The allied benefits and incentives derived from the project activity will alleviate the economic and financial hurdles (as mentioned in Step 2) and other barriers (as mentioned in Step 3) and thus enable the project activity to be undertaken. B.6. Emission reductions: Emission reduction of the project PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 25 The proposed project activity reduces carbon dioxide through substitution of grid electricity generation with fossil fuel fired power plants by renewable-hydro electricity. The emission reduction ERy by the project activity during a given year y is calculated as the difference between baseline emissions (BEy), project emissions (PEy) and emissions due to leakage (Ly), as per the formulae given below: ERy = BEy – PEy – Ly According to the formulae, emission reduction of the project activity is calculated and is shown in below table: Table 11 : Emission reduction of the project activity Year (y) Project Leakage emission emission (Ly) (PEy) tCO2 tCO2 Baseline emission (BEy) tCO2 Emission reduction (ERy), tCO2 2009 (only one month) 0 0 4767.5 4767.5 2010 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2011 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2012 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 Up to and including 2012 0 0 176,399.3 176,399.3 2013 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2014 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2015 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2016 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2017 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2018 0 0 57,210.6 57,210.6 2019 (11 months) 0 0 52,442.5 52,442.5 Total emission reduction during the first crediting period of 10 years 0 0 572,106 572,106 *For conservative calculation The emission factor of the national grid is calculated based on gross power generation. It means that the grid’s emission factor is calculated as: EF = total emission/gross power output. This emission factor is less than emission factor calculated by net power output, because net power output is less than gross power output by parasitic use and loss load (about 1% gross output). In contrary, the calculation uses only net electricity output of the project activity that is certainly less than plant gross output. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 26 B.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices: This is a hydro power project with installed capacity is 30 MW. According to the EB regulations for CDM projects then the project belongs to the large scale CDM projects category. So baseline and monitoring methodology ACM0002 is applicable to the project activity. B.6.2. Data and parameters that are available at validation: Data / Parameter: Reservoir area Data unit: M2 Description: Surface area at full reservoir level Source of data used: Feasibility Study Report Value applied: 20000 Justification of the choice of data or description of measurement methods and procedures actually applied : Reservoir area that is necessary to calculate power density rate of the project. According to the EB’ guidelines, then the leakage of the project are estimated base on the value. Reservoir area is calculated by technical consulting Unit of the project. Any comment: Data / Parameter: Emission factor Data unit: gCO2/kWh Description: Emission factor of national grid of Vietnam Source of data used: Master Plan of Electricity Expansion for period of 2001-2010 with perspective to 2015 – EVN and calculation of RCEE Value applied: 580.61 Justification of the choice of data or description of measurement methods and procedures actually applied : The factor is calculated based on the baseline methodology ACM0002 Any comment: B.6.3 Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions: PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 27 Baseline emission The baseline emissions (BEy) are the product of the baseline emissions factor (EFy) calculated above, times the electricity supplied by the project activity to the national grid (EGy), as per the formulae given below: BEy = EGy * EFy Where: EFy = 580.61 gCO2/kWh - Baseline emission factor (calculated in B4) EGy - Net electricity outputs supplied to the national grid by the proposed project Project emission The proposed project has power density rate of 1500 W/m2, much higher than the level of 10 W/m2. So the project emission (PEy) is zero. Leakage The main emissions potentially giving rise to leakage in the context of electric sector project are emission arising due to activities such as power plant construction, fuel handling (extraction, processing and transport) and land inundation. Project participants do not need to consider these emission sources as leakage in applying this methodology. Project activities using this baseline methodology shall not claim any credit for the project on account of reducing these emissions below the level of the baseline scenario. So emissions due to leakage also are zero. Emission reduction The proposed project activity reduces carbon dioxide through substitution of grid electricity generation with fossil fuel fired power plants by renewable-hydro electricity. The emission reduction ERy by the project activity during a given year y is calculated as the difference between baseline emissions (BEy), project emissions (PEy) and emissions due to leakage (Ly), as per the formulae given below: ERy = BEy – PEy - Ly B.6.4 Summary of the ex-ante estimation of emission reductions: Summary of the above calculations is shown in below table: Table 12: Summary of the calculated parameters Parameters Unit Value 1.

The flow and thus the production of the Song Giang 2 Hydro power plant can vary +/- 25%. This means that the maximum expected generation of CER in a single year will be 71,500 t CER/year and the lowest will be 42,900 t CER/year. The actual emission reductions in each year will be established expost by multiplying the electricity production with the baseline emission factor. B.7 Application of the monitoring methodology and description of the monitoring plan: The methodology requires monitoring of the following: • Electricity generation from the proposed project activity which is supplied to the national grid. • Data needed to recalculate the Operating Margin emission factor, based on the Simple operating margin method chosen consistent with ACM0002 baseline methodology. • Data needed to recalculate the Build Margin emission factor consistent with ACM0002 baseline methodology. • The surface area of reservoir at the full reservoir level.

These data will be directly used for calculation of power density rate Any comment: B.7.2 Description of the monitoring plan: + No monitoring for leakage. + For emission reduction: The generated electricity from the project is sold to the National electricity utility (EVN), for the complete project lifespan, for which the promoter has entered into a long term power purchase agreement (PPA) with the national power utility. Thus throughout the project cycle (crediting period) and beyond, the electricity generated from the project will be monitored by both the project proponent and the third party (EVN). The generated electricity, before entering into the grid, at the grid interconnection point will be measured by digital, kilowatt hour (kWh) meter on monthly basis and will be documented both on paper as well as in electronic form. The generation records will be signed by the officials from project proponent and third party (EVN). This generation record will form the basis of payment by EVN to the project proponent. Such records will be maintained and would be made available on demand throughout the crediting period of the project. To address all O&M issue, the project proponent will appoint the RCEE Energy and Environment JSC to monitor required parameter(s) after commissioning. RCEE will station a person in charge at the project site and will be a participant for monitoring the generation of PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 30 electricity. All the data collected will be recorded and preserved throughout the crediting period of the project. No additional CDM related training is required at any level as the monitoring data required for the verification are taken from the regular digital meters and cross checked with the log books and receipt of sale of electricity.

Documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts, including transboundary impacts: D.1.1. Environmental impacts The area being occupied by the project is only natural forest land (it is mainly poor forest, brushwood, treeless hill and pebble areas). There are neither households nor places of cultural and historical interest in the project area. The project comprises a diversion powerhouse including dam, penstocks and powerhouse buildings, all of them are located on land of Khanh Trung commune, Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province. Mean annual discharge arriving to dam site is 5.96m3/s corresponding to a total annual flow of 188x106 m3. Due to sloping and narrow topographical conditions, the reservoir will be small compared with total flow discharge therefore it can not regulate the flow between seasons but only on a day-to-day basis. With such a small regulated storage, the powerhouse will generate power from the natural flow arriving at the dam site. During the dry season when average daily flow is smaller than designed discharge, the powerhouse will operate on daily regulation mode to generate power in several hours. During flood season when the average daily discharge is larger than designed discharge, the powerhouse will operate at its maximum capacity (installed capacity), redundant discharge will be allowed to pass by spillway. Due to the fact that the Song Giang project will make use of difference in natural head water to generate power, headwork components comprises the dam which will divert the flow to intake structure then to the tunnel 4175m long to fore-bay and to penstock before entering turbines housed situated inside the powerhouse. Since the storage created by the reservoir is small, the reservoir will be similar to a large river section of 500m in length; therefore it will not cause submergence of land, nor any infrastructure or vegetation of forest land areas.

Construction period Impacts on water environment The construction of a dam will create only a small reservoir, area 2 ha, land occupied mainly river, streams and pebble areas. Since it can only regulate between days, Giang river will not be affected in quality and quantity, content of dissolved oxygen as well as other chemical content as pH, turbidity, etc... will not be changed. Water environment will be the least affected by the project construction. Impacts on air environment Dusts and noise will be generated in the period, but populated areas are so far from the project site that it will not impact on the life of the inhabitants. The project will use water to generate power therefore it will not impact on air environment. Impacts on biological system: As the data on the above table shows, the total occupied area of the project is 47.62 ha (in which comprises of forest land, farm land, river, stream and pebble area), however those are mainly poor forest areas and unused land so impacts of biological system are insignificant. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 34 For fauna, construction and activities of workers will impact on animal system in the area. But when the plant comes into operation, water reservoir makes climate conditions in the area are better than before so biological system will grow faster and better then animals will return. b. Operation period Impacts on water and air environment Since the reservoir can only regulate between days, Giang river will not be affected in quality and quantity, content of dissolved oxygen as well as other chemical content as pH, turbidity, etc... will not be changed. Impacts on natural resources and biological systems When the project is available during dry season, discharge on the river is small, most of the inflow will flow through dam to tunnel, penstock down to powerhouse, this river section is almost dried, and the flow will be formed by streams from two banks. However, the area from dam site to powerhouse is found with no population or any cultivated land area of local resident. Therefore bad impacts on economic and production activities will be minimal. D.1.2. Social and economic impacts + Negative impacts: The main negative impact is land occupation of 47.62 ha. Those are mainly poor forest area and unused land so impacts of biological system are insignificant. + Positive impacts: Khanh Hoa is fairly developing province in the South of Vietnam with natural area of − 5,198.2 km2, population by the end of 2004 of 1,111,300 people and GDP of about 11771.4 billion VND (about 740 million USD) in 2004. When the proposed project comes into operation, average 12.36 billion VND (tax) per year will be added to the local budget, make up 0.105 % of the province’s GDP of 2004. In addition, it will contribute to completion of traffic system in the area by newly constructing or improving roads and bridges; create favourable conditions to local people living and production, goods transport, travel and exchange between areas in the territory and reduce the cultural and economic gap between ethnics and areas in the region; especially more jobs during the period of construction and operation will be created on-site; demands on food and supplies will promote agricultural goods items and commercial services among local communities; the local economic structure will be growing from rice cultivation to husbandry and aquaculture. These will largely push forward economic development and improve living standard of the province and nearby communes. In addition, the proposed project will supply electricity to nearby communes directly from plant since the project is planned to share a part of electricity generated for self use to these communes. Thus the proposed project will contribute the solution of basic needs -road and electricity - for above mentioned communes. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.

Environment and social impact assessment and comparison As regards the environment and social assessment, the project sponsor, in the feasibility study document, has given the following impact assessment table: Table 14: Environment and social impact assessment and comparison No Activities which may impact on environment Project duration Construction period Operation period Positive Negative Positive Negative I Natural environment 1 Water Environment O - ++ - 2 Air Environment O - + - 3 Vegetation cover O - ++ O 4 Animal systems O -- + O 5 Land O -- O - II Economic – social environment 1 Economic activity ++ O ++ O 2 Agriculture O O O O 3 Transportation O - ++ O 4 Trade and service ++ O + O 5 Life level of inhabitants O O + O 6 Culture O - ++ O Note: - : Minimal or temporary adverse impacts -- : Strong or long – term adverse impacts + : Minimal or temporary profitable impacts ++ : Strong or long – term profitable impacts O : None D.1.4. Mitigation solutions a. Construction period Waste collection system: The wastes generated during the construction period will be handled in a most hygienic way and shall be disposed in a planned manner. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 36 After construction of headwork, intake, powerhouse and access road, the areas will be cleaned, including replantation of tree and create supporting slopes to prevent sliding and erosion. Dump of solid waste materials will be levelled to grow trees. Waste water treatment system: quantity of waste water is limited, mainly caused by sand/soil washing and hence no impacts to environment are forecasted. Water quality of Giang River will not be changed when the Song Giang 2 plant is constructed. However to ensure water quality of Giang River, local residents shall be adequately informed on how to keep the water source clean including its importance. Minimising noise and dust: During the construction, water will be sprayed in and around construction areas. The cultivated land area to be occupied for reservoir component shall be compensated satisfyingly. Reservoir area shall be cleaned before it is stored water Capacity building to workers on protection of forest and wild beasts Capacity building to workers on safety at work and it supplies workers with equipments at work. Medicine and health equipments are stored to meet demands of workers on common epidemic diseases as: malaria, fever, digestion disease…etc b. Operation period Protection methods: Instrumentation observing permeability, dam deformation will be provided together with fire fighting devices. Environmental observation station will be constructed in downstream of powerhouse to observe climate patterns, water quality in project area when the reservoir is available. Forecasting impacts on environment and proposing mitigation methods will be continuous efforts applied by the project activity to mitigate impacts to the environment. D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party: Director of Khanh Hoa province Department of Natural Resources and Environment confirmed that Song Giang Hydro Power Joint – Stock Company (Project sponsor) submitted the registration document on environmental standard conformation of the Song Giang Hydropower Project on Giang river, Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province on May 6th, 2005. Project sponsor has the responsibility to strictly implement all the contents stated in this registration document on environmental standard conformation. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1. CDM – Executive Board page 37 The registration document on environment standard conformation is the basic for the State Environmental Management Authorities to inspect the environmental protection of the project. After completing all project’s articles on environment, the project sponsor has to report in written on environmental monitoring results to Department of Natural Resources and Environment for management and inspecting. SECTION E. Stakeholders’ comments E.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled: According to the regulation of International Cooperation Department of Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, which was designated as a Clean Development Mechanism National Authority (CNA) in Vietnam, the following organizations are the stakeholders of the proposed project, whose comments should be involved: − Song Giang Hydro Power Joint Stock Company − The People’ committee of Khanh Hoa province (local authorities) − Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Khanh Hoa province All documents related to the project were sent to the organizations mentioned above to receive their comments. Beside these comments, following the international CDM modalities, the comments of commune’s representatives were colleted. These comments were received by project sponsor during meetings with the communes’ representatives. The proposed project is solely located in Khanh Trung commune. Communes’ representatives at these meetings were: Chairman of Commune’s Council. The members of Council are elected by commune people voting. So the Council really represents the people’s opinion. Chairman of Commune’s People Committee (CPC). CPC is lowest administration level in the Vietnamese administrative hierarchy. The Chairman of CPC is elected by the Council so he well represents the commune’s interest. Local side: PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
