10 MW Bhavani Barrage-2 Small Hydroelectric Project for a Grid connected system, Tamil Nadu, India

Audit Analysis

A 10 MW small hydro project under CDM with a confirmed investment-test additionality and jurisdictional baseline, but the available record contains only validation-era documents with no monitoring reports or verified emission reductions. The low extraction confidence, absence of post-validation data, and a contradiction in the leakage treatment limit confidence in the project's ongoing performance and claim accuracy.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures found in any available document — the project's actual performance over its 10-year crediting period (2009–2019) is entirely unverified in the extracted record
• ⚠Ten Corrective Action Requests were raised during validation, indicating notable implementation or documentation issues at project inception
• ⚠Leakage justification is contradictory: the validation report states 'deemed negligible' while an appendix references a 'quantified' treatment, creating ambiguity about whether leakage was actually assessed
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and critical data may be missing
