Description of the Monitoring System C.1 Data processing and archiving: The delivered electricity is being metered at 154 kv high voltage side of the step-up transformer installed at the project activity 3. Both TEİAŞ and project responsible perform data readings on the first day of the month. TEIAŞ will read the values at 00:00 on the first day of each month and a meter reading protocol will be also submitted to TEİAŞ for reciprocal affirmance. The results of the readings were saved electronically and made available by TEİAŞ via a website. Invoicing is based according to the data published on the website. The project participants also archived a hardcopy of meter reading protocols, scanned them and stored them. The collected data will be kept by Demirer Holding during the crediting period and stored at least two years after the issuance of VER credits. 3 A single line diagram is available to the DOE on site.

7 page 7 / 17 C.2 Special event log: There were no special events during the third monitoring period. C.3 Roles and responsibilities: For Demirer Holding Mr. is the plant manager responsible for monitoring issues within the project. Burgaz Wind Farm / Organization Chart Wind Farm Electrical / Operator of HV Switchgear Centre Security Çağlar Özden Zebek Ersel Solmaz Özgür Turgut Tayfun Yıldız Veysel Şimşir İsmail Gülşen Volkan Şenoğlu Hasan Solak Ekrem Zebek C.4 Trainings: Management of training procedures is decentralized. In general the training topics could be summarized into three groups. i) First Aid Training: This training covers generally the basic knowledge and skills to be applied to sick and injured people. The training was given by Kızılay (Turkish Red Crescent) in accordance with European Red Cross and Red Crescent Guidelines on First Aid. ii) High Voltage Training: The project participants have assigned a third party consultant (electrical engineer) on High Voltage related topics for the trainings. The frequency and the timing of these trainings are defined by Mr. Burak Derinpınar (Electrical ) 4. The scope of the training mostly covers protection / evaluation and assessment of 4 Informative document on High Voltage Training system is available to the DOE.

8 page 8 / 17 indicators received during a fault scenario and / Project Scheme Readings for Wind Energy Power Plants connected to a interconnected systems at 154/24 kv Substations. This training is only given to operator technicians working on High Voltage Substations. iii) Safety Trainings: Two general topics on safety are covered with the trainings. Trainings on various Enercon instructions which cover safety issues are provided by the responsible engineer and the service technicians on a rotating shift. Trainings on occupational safety, which is provided by Mr. Faruk Ecevit (Health and Safety Officer). iv) Technical Trainings: SQA Department of Enercon GmbH Dispatch is the only responsible body that is able to give technical trainings on Enercon equipment. SQA Department has adopted a regional approach and has planned their training services based on the regions. According to the schedule, trainings for Burgaz service technicians will take place in May 2011 and July Trainings do cover a wide range of technical topics from basic turbine specifications to more detailed technical aspects 5. These trainings are only oriented for s. C.5 Internal audits and control measures The internal control procedures maintain the reliability and accuracy in the data transfer and calculations. The plant personal records the data on regular basis from both meters and compare the values for consistency. The responsible engineer performs regular checks of this procedure at the first day of the month and controls the monthly data of main and second meters. If any difference occurs between the two meters, TEİAŞ has to be informed for the necessary maintenance and calibration. Furthermore, the plant engineer shares the monthly data with Mrs. Çağla Balcı Eriş for the control and data storage. Reliability and accuracy of monthly values is reached by comparative readings both from the project participant and TEİAŞ, where high accuracy is guaranteed and needed by the requirements of billing purposes. There is analysis and maintenance system (SCADA) operated by Enercon. This system records automatically all electricity generation data and parameters of each single wind farm. In this way jumps or periods with abnormal operating conditions can be identified and explained. 5 Detailed skope of the training is available to the DOE.

9 page 9 / 17 C.6 Troubleshooting procedures: As the measuring devices are sealed by TEİAŞ, project participant cannot intervene with the devices. In case of unforeseen problems or failures of the meters or if any difference occurs between primary and secondary devices TEİAŞ has to be informed for necessary maintenance and calibration. There is an agreement between Demirer and TEİAŞ that in case of problems or failures of meters TEİAŞ reacts as fast as possible to solve the problems. SECTION D.

Both the project participant and TEİAŞ perform the readings and compare the values. The results are cross checked from the official website of TEİAŞ. SECTION E. Emission Reduction Calculation E.1 Baseline emissions calculation: The baseline emission BE y (tco 2 eq) during the monitoring period results from: BE = EF EG (1)

11 page 11 / 17 Where: BE = Baseline emissions in tones CO 2 -eq EF = Grid emission factor in tco 2 -eq/mwh (a value of tco 2 - eq/mwh has been fixed during the first crediting period) EG = Electricity supplied to the grid in MWh The baseline emissions for the project activity according to the PDD are included in the following table: Table 3 Baseline emissions Month (A) (C)=(A)-(B) (B) Baseline Electricity Net electricity Electricity emissions supplied to the supplied to the consumption from (equation 2) grid grid the grid [MWh] [tco [MWh] [MWh] 2 -eq] March , , , April , , , May , , , June , , July , , , Augest , , , September , , , October , , , November , , , December , , , January , , , February , , , Sum (01/03/ /12/2010) Sum (01/01/ /02/2011) Sum Monitoring Period (01/03/ /02/2011) 3 rd 30, , , , , , , , , E.2 Project emissions calculation: Project emissions are negligible. In accordance to the registered PDD and applicable methodology AMS-I.D version 13, no project emissions are to be accounted by the Project. Therefore; PE=0 tco 2 -eq

12 page 12 / 17 E.3 Leakage calculation: No leakage is to be accounted by the Project. This is in line with the registered PDD and applicable methodology AMS-I.D version 13. Therefore; L= 0 tco 2 -eq E.4 Emission reduction calculation The total emission reductions can be calculated with the results of the below described equation: ER= BE PE L (2) Where: ER BE PE L = Emission reductions in tco 2 -eq = Baseline emissions in tco 2 -eq = Project emissions in tco 2 -eq = Leakage emissions in tco 2 -eq Total baseline emissions (BE): 23,568 tco 2 -eq Total project emissions (PE): 0 tco 2 -eq Total leakage (L): 0 tco 2 -eq It can be followed that the emission reductions of the project activity is equal to the baseline emissions. The emission reductions per vintage and for the period which is covered by this monitoring report are therefore: Table 4 Emission reductions for 3 rd monitoring period Vintage 2010 (01/03/ ,401tCO 2 -eq 31/12/2010) Vintage 2011 (01/01/2011 4,167 tco 2 -eq 28/02/2011) Total emission reductions 23,568 tco 2 -eq 6 for 3 rd Monitoring Period (01/03/ /02/2011) 6 The total emission reduction value has been rounded down for concervativeness.
