SECTION E. Outcome stakeholder consultation process

E.1. Assessment of stakeholder comments [See Annex J] The Project is a retroactive project. Below are details on the Stakeholder Consultation. The Stakeholder Consultation was undertaken to primarily inform and educate the various stakeholders on the objectives of the project as well as ask that they voice or raise any concerns or amendments to the overall project that would aid in improving the project. The Gold Standard in Annex J – Guidance on LSC Best Practice outlines the key components to a delivering a LSC. 1. Various public announcements to inform about the project activity and invitations to the consultation meeting 2. Physical consultation meeting with list of attendees, not technical summary and environmental impacts of the project activity 3. Follow-up survey (interviews & questionnaire) In anticipation for CDM registration – which was never made due to the collapse of the secondary price of CERs – a series of stakeholder consultation meetings were organized to incorporate stakeholders from all 4-project sites. Invitation letters were sent to a wide range of stakeholder including:  National Science and Technology Development Agency  Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning  Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization)  Provincial Industry Office  Provincial Energy Office  Provincial Natural Resources and Environmental Office  Provincial Electricity Authority  Sub-district Administration Organization  Sub-district Municipal Council  Rehabilitation plan for alcohol drinking problem  Village Health Office  World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Thailand  Green World Foundation  Green Leaf Foundation  Thailand Environment Institute (TEI)  Thailand Development Research Institue; TDRI  Thailand Energy and Environment Network (TEENET)  The Environmental Engineering Association of Thailand (EEAT)

 Faculty of Engineering Khon Kaen University  Faculty of Engineering Suranaree University of Technology  Faculty of Engineering Chulalongkorn University  Faculty of Engineering King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi  Faculty of Environment and Resource Mahidol University The stakeholder meetings incorporated the following aspects: 1. Stakeholders were provided an explanation of the greenhouse gas effect, the Kyoto Protocol, and the CDM process; 2. A description of the proposed CDM-project; 3. Analysis of the environmental impacts of the proposed project activity and identify potential mitigations; and 4. Stakeholders provided an opportunity to raise questions expressing their concerns regarding the project and to receive clarification on any other issues concerning the project. There were no objections to the project or any requests for modification of the project. The minutes of the community consultation are pasted below. During the consultation local stakeholders were given an opportunity to ask questions and give comment on the project. Relevant stakeholder comments are summarized as follows:  Is there any light reflection from solar PV module?  What is the lifetime of PV module?  What are the benefits to the stakeholder?  Will you store the electrical power in batteries?  Will you extend the power plant area in the future?  For Nakhon Phanom project - how much water do you need to use to clean the panel?  Can we still do farming around the project boundary?  During grid connection (every morning) will it cause power cut, whom do we have to contact about this?  Will there be any electrical waves emitted?  If the solar module deteriorates, will it be hazardous waste?  Is it possible to install solar module on an individual house?  In Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) - what is the labour daily rate?  In Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) - what is the salary of security guards? The project developer provided answers to each question/comment received during the meeting as per the details below:  The PV type used in the project has minimal reflection; therefore the effect from light reflection is low.  The PV module lifetime is 25 years.  Direct benefits to the community are Community Development Fund from EPPO, taxes and fee to Sub-district Administration Organization.  The project sells electricity to the grid directly. The power plant will stop producing electricity at nighttime and start again in the daytime. The project will not use battery to store power.  Project will not extend the power plant area because we have a PPA for only 6 MW (per site) and the planned land area is sufficient.

 In Nakhon Phanom project - 40 m3/day. Each day 1/20 of the module will be washed and rotate, so the panel will be washed every 20 days. Wastewater will use for watering the grass underneath the panel.  Farmers can continue their farming around the project, there will be no wastewater discharge  There will be no power cut during grid connection.  In other solar PV projects, birds and rats still live around the site, this is evidence that project does not cause disturbance from emission of electric waves.  All modules not in-use will be sent back to Japan.  You can install solar modules on an individual house but the cost of investment is high, and for use at night the electricity must be stored in a battery, which makes the installation, cost high, maintenance cost is also high.  Daily wage for is approximately 180/day to 200/day, or more depending on the job.  Daily wage for security guard is 250 baht/12 hours.  There were no objections to the project or any requests for modification of the project. The original attendee list from the IEE report is posted below.

Below is an example of an educational document used during the meeting.

E.2. Stakeholder Feedback Round Please describe report how the feedback round was organised, what the outcomes were and how you followed up on the feedback. [See Toolkit 2.11] The Stakeholder Feedback Round (SFR) consisted of 20 meetings held at local government offices in proximity to the sites. The meetings were held throughout February 2013.

All attendees of the original CDM Stakeholder were invited, with examples of details on the SFR and invitees signatures listed in Annex 2. Examples of the meeting documents are also provided in Annex 2.
