Determine expected annual electricity production of project Plant Capacity Factor (%) X • how much electricity the hydropower project will deliver annually • how much amount of electricity will be displaced from the grid by the hydropower

  13. Step 3. Determine baseline emissions i) determine baseline methodology “approximate operating margin”- grid mix of all generating sources serving the system, excluding hydro, geothermal, wind, low-cost biomass, nuclear and solar generation “build margin”- grid mix of recent capacity additions (newly installed plants) defined as lower of most recent 20% of plants built or the 5 most recently built plants EFbase = (EFoperating + EFbuild)/2 *Baseline and Monitoring Methods Workshop on July 17
