ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED JOINTLY (AIJ) UNIFORM REPORTING FORMAT:
ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED JOINTLY UNDER THE PILOT PHASE The uniform reporting format contained below is to be used in reporting on activities implemented jointly under the pilot phase. It is noted that the reporting should be consistent with decision 5/CP.1 and 8/CP.2 (reproduced in annexes I and II to this reporting format). The SBSTA notes that the uniform reporting format could possibly require revision in the light of experience gained and methodological work conducted under the pilot phase.
A. Description of project
A. 1) Title of project: THE INSTALLING OF AN EXPERIMENTAL WINDPARK AT AINAZI SITE, LATVIA A. 2) Participants/actors: Please fill in one table for each participant/actor. For individuals fill in as from item AFunction within activity".
a) Organization includes: institutions, ministries, companies, non-governmental organizations, etc.
involved in the activity, i.e. research institutes associated with the project, auditors, government agency closely
following the activity.

A. 3) Activity:
a) For example, using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) classification: energy efficiency; renewable energy; fuel switching; forest preservation, restoration or reforestation; afforestation; fugitive gas capture; industrial processes; solvents; agriculture; waste disposal or bunker fuels. b) undelined. c) Methodological work will be required to define lifetime of activities.
d) Methodological work will be required to determine for each type of activity what the minimum data
requirements are. A. 4) Cost (to the extent possible):
Describe briefly how costs are determined: Main equipment (investment costs, US$=1.7 DM, LAT=3 DM): - 2 turbines 1377058 US$ - engineering, transport, building of net access, land a.s.o. 466529 US$ total: 1843588 US$
maintenance costs: 30000 US$/year financing data: - subsidies from BMFT (German ELDORADO-programme): 957353 US$ - loan from PreussenElektra : 411765 US$
- costs paid by Latvenergo: 474470 US$
The loan from PreussenElektra seems to be AIJ-relevant, but perhaps it will be transmitted into a share of stock
after privatisation of Latvenergo next year. In the view of Preussen Elektra the loan has to be evaluated as risk
capital, the conditions of the credit are classificated as so called soft loan. In our view it would be senseless
to attribute these financial data within different years because the payments for the main investments took place
in 1995. The costs of maintenance (a.s.o.) which are relevant during the following years have been estimated for
the depreciation period of 10 years. The total costs are attributed to the time horizon of 10 years without
discounting and the figure of "US$ per avoided ton of CO2 equivalent" is based on 1366 tons of
CO2-reductions yearly (base-line).
A. 5) Mutually agreed assessment procedures:
section A.2 above.
B. Governmental acceptance, approval or endorsement
Bearing in mind that all activities implemented jointly under this pilot phase require prior acceptance, approval
or endorsement by the Governments of the Parties participating in these activities, which shall be shown as
follows:
(a) In the case of joint reporting, the report is submitted by the designated national authority of one
participating Party with the concurrence of all other participating Parties as evidenced by attached letters issued
by the relevant national authorities;
(b) In the case of separate reporting, the reports are submitted separately by the designated national authority of
each and every participating Party. Information will only be compiled once reports have been received from all
participating Parties.
B. 1) For the activity:
* First report and joint reporting: please add copies of letters of endorsement by each designated national
authority of Parties involved in the activity.
* Subsequent reports: Activity was: - suspended - terminated earlier
Describe:
B. 2) This report is a joint report:
X Yes, forward copy of agreement/endorsement by the designated national authorities involved
B. 3) General short comment by the government(s) if applicable:
C. Compatibility with and supportiveness of national economic development and socioSeconomic and environment
priorities and strategies
D. Benefits derived from the activities implemented jointly project
Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description should be
given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s). (If the amount of
quantative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)
E. Calculation of the contribution of activities implemented jointly projects that bring about real, measurable
and long-term environmental benefits related to the mitigation of climate change that would not have occurred in
the absence of such activities E. 1) Estimated emissions without the activity (project baseline): Description of the baseline or reference scenario, including methodologies applied:
The baseline respectively the reference scenario consists on the assumption, that the existing facilities in Latvia
are operating prospectively without modifications. The energy production of the Latvian power stations in the year
1995 is taken as basis, separated to the primary energies water, natural gas and oil. Following the corresponding
emissions of greenhouse gas are estimated. In addition to the production of electrical energy the generation of
thermal energy is taken into consideration also, because the fossil fuels are mostly transposed by Combined Heat
and Power plants (CHP) in electricity and heat. A period of ten years is taken into consideration (X=10 years in
summary table) In year 1 the windfarm existed only 77 days. E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity: Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied: To estimate the emissions with the realised activity in the scenario a part of the electrical power generation will be substituted by the wind power station. This leads to a downturn of the current generation in an oil combusting CHP, that owns the highest values of emission and by this it leads to a downturn of the greenhouse gas emissions. Thereby an electrical efficiency of 30 % and a thermal efficiency of 55 % is assumed. However the reduced power plant operation keeps to a reduced production of heat. This heating energy has to be supplied from a conventional heating system by combusting natural gas, what is bounded with emissions on the other hand. The effective balance of emission results in the total of the emissions of all relevant components. Fill in the following tables as applicable: E.2.1) Summary table: Projected emission reduction s in tons:
a) Includes indirect GHG leakages. E.2.2) Summary table: Actual emission reductions in tons :
a) Includes indirect GHG leakages.
F. Bearing in mind that the financing of activities implemented jointly shall be additional to financial
obligations of Parties included in Annex II to the Convention within the framework of the financial mechanism as
well as to current official development assistance flows , please indicate
G. Contribution to capacity building, transfer of environmentally sound technologies and know-how to other
Parties, particularly developing country Parties, to enable them to implement the provisions of the Convention. In
this process, the developed country Parties shall support the development and enhancement of endogenous capacities
and technologies of developing country Parties
Describe briefly the transfer of environmenally sound technology and know-how including where appropriate the type
of technology, terms, education, capactity building etc. This project has a pioneer function for the introduction of windmill technology and can be described as a measure of technology procurement to create a market for windmills in the future. The German ministry for Scientific Research and Technology and with a smaller amount PreussenElektra AG the second biggest german utility delivered financial support. Two TW 600 windmills were built, delivered and installed by the german windmill manufacturer Tacke in 1995. LATVENERGO staff from Latvia was trained in Germany: - six persons by Tacke from 31. of Juli to 12. of August 1995 and
- two persons by SCHLESWAG AG a subsidary company of PreussenElektra AG from 12. to 18. of August 1995.
H. Additional comments, if any, including any practical experience gained or technical difficulties, effects,
impacts or other obstacles encountered
Fill in as appropriate:
H. 1) Any practical experience gained: H. 2) Technical difficulties:
The major difficulty is the problem with a bad distance connection to start up the windmills after a failure.
Electricity production was lost until the staff started up the machines locally.
H. 3) negative impacts and/or effects encountered:
Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description should be
given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s). (If the amount of
quantative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)
