Enhancing Additionality in PoA Context: Task Group Highlights

1. Additionality in the context of PoA –Summary of Task Group • Issues identified in the plenary • Additionality at the PoA level • How to construct sufficient eligibility criteria? • How is policy accounted for? • Conservative criteria for LDC • Standard, best practice, etc. • Can eligibility criteria be addressed in methodologies? • A clear role for CME • How can a typology/distinction be made between PoA types? • Measures • Policies: new or enhanced enforcement/implementation • Impacts from changes of policy / other changes in the methodology • Guidance for validation of additionality & development of PoA • Best practice guideline for demonstration of additionality of PoA

2. Additionality in the context of PoA –Summary of Task Group Proposed Outline - Standard for assessment of PoA additionality • Clear definition of PoA additionality • Requirement for a simplified management system for CME • Eligibility criteria which covers additionality assessment • Implications for new policies • Implications of revised methodologies • Revalidation of PoA

3. Proposed Outline - Standard for assessment of PoA additionality • A) Clear definition of PoA additionality • For different PoA types • Measures • New policy • Enhanced implementation /enforcement of existing policy • Through barrier analysis • As per additionality tool/ SSC / Micro-scale additionality • As per IPCC policy assessment - Environmental effective - Cost effective - Institutional effective - Distributional effective • For Existing policy • Targeted level Vs current level of enforcement • Through investment analysis

4. Proposed Outline - Standard for assessment of PoA additionality • B) Requirement for a simplified management system for CME • Record management, checklist preparation, monitoring reports • C) Eligibility criteria which covers additionality assessment • Binary check list (easily assessed, unambiguous and complete) • If not possible, in the context of a specific additionality assessment, provide simplified additionality assessment at CPA level • Typology of eligibility criteria • E.g. geography boundary, tech specifications, relationship with PoA requirements, meth applicability, additionality assessment, exclusivity, compliance with host, other PoA specific requirement

5. Proposed Outline - Standard for assessment of PoA additionality • D) Implications for new policies • Re-evaluated at the renewal of crediting period • E) Implications of revised methodologies • Meth is put on hold, eligibility criteria is to be updated and applicable to newly added CPA • Otherwise, at the end of crediting period of the first CPA, revise the eligibility criteria as per the revised methodology • F) Re-validation of PoA • For each crediting period
