Introduction 1. The methodological tool is developed to provide consistent procedures among the CDM methodologies to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions due to electricity consumption and to monitor the amount of electricity generated by the project power plant. 2. Scope, applicability, and entry into force 2.1. Scope 2. This tool provides procedures to estimate the baseline, project and/or leakage emissions associated with the consumption of electricity, and procedures to monitor the amount of electricity generated by the project power plant. 3. The tool provides several options to project participants to estimate the baseline, project and/or leakage emissions associated with the consumption of electricity by the proposed project activity. These options aim to provide flexibility to project participants, while ensuring that the estimation of emission reductions is conservative. Some options provide more rough estimates of the emission reductions and rely on conservative default values or conservative simplifications, whereas other options provide more accurate estimates but require more accurate project or country specific data. 4. Depending on their specific scope, methodologies which refer to this tool should: (a) Specify clearly which sources of project, baseline and leakage electricity consumption should be calculated with this tool; and/or (b) Provide the procedures to determine the most likely baseline scenario for each source of baseline electricity consumption; and/or (c) Provide the procedures to determine the most likely baseline scenario for electricity generated and supplied by the project power plant to the grid or consumers; and (d) Provide the procedures to determine the baseline CO2 emission factors for the electricity generated and supplied by the project power plant (EFBL,grid,CO2,y and EFBL,facility,CO2,i,y). 2.2. Applicability 5. If emissions are calculated for electricity consumption, the tool is only applicable if one out of the following three scenarios applies t
