10 MW Manjanadka Hydro project, Karnataka, India
#263of 975 in India#348of 1459 in CDM (UNFCCC)#186of 806 in AMS-I.D
Audit Analysis
A 10 MW small hydro project under CDM with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a physically low-risk profile (no feedstock, no storage, no reversal events). However, a contradiction between the validation and monitoring reports on baseline method, the absence of a verified ERR figure, and the lack of documented FPIC or grievance mechanisms limit confidence in the overall credit quality.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is stated as 'project' in the 2022 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2012 validation report — an unresolved contradiction that undermines baseline reliability
- No verified ERR figure is available in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm that claimed reductions (29,655 tCO2 over the crediting period) were actually achieved
- No FPIC or grievance mechanism is documented despite safeguards being mentioned and benefit sharing described
