This methodology warrants particular attention as it is the first methodology<br />
explicitly designed for a Programme of Activities and the first large-scale<br />
methodology for end-use efficiency. It has a very elaborate system of<br />
sampling groups.<br />

Applicability conditions: Distribution of energy-efficient lamps to<br />
households. A project coordinator sells efficient lamps at a subsidized price<br />
or donates them to households in a distinct geographic area in exchange<br />
against previously used lamps. Lamps distributed are not allowed to have<br />
a higher light output than the returned lamps. Each household can receive<br />
a maximum of 4 lamps. The collected lamps are scrapped. Participants of<br />
the sample groups are incentivized by a social lottery. In the project area, no<br />
registered <strong>CDM</strong> project of the same type may exist. Fused lamps distributed<br />
by the project cannot be replaced.<br />
Project boundary: The project boundary encompasses all project areas and<br />
the electricity grid to which the households are connected. Each project area<br />
is to be a square of 4 km 2 for urban and 3600 km 2 for rural areas.<br />
Baseline scenario and additionality:<br />
The baseline scenario use of lamps is defined through the behaviour of a<br />
statistically significant baseline sample group that is not part of the project.<br />
The conservative (=low) end of a 95% confidence interval is used to define<br />
baseline energy use.<br />
The consolidated additionality tool is applied, but only from the perspective<br />
of the project coordinator.<br />
Emission reductions:<br />
The emission reduction is determined through the difference in absolute<br />
lighting energy use between the baseline sample group and a statistically<br />
significant project sample group, multiplied by the grid emissions factor<br />
determined according to ACM 0002, taking into account technical<br />
distribution losses. If the electricity consumption of the baseline sample group<br />
is significantly higher than the consumption of a baseline cross-check group,<br />
the lighting energy use of the baseline sample group will be discounted<br />
accordingly. Analogously, project lighting use will be increased by a multiplier<br />
if the electricity consumption of the project sample group is significantly<br />
lower than the consumption of a project cross-check group. The conservative<br />
(=high) end of a 95% confidence interval of energy use across the sample<br />
group is used to define project energy use.<br />
Leakage<br />
Scrapping of returned lamps is required to avoid leakage.<br />
