Audit Analysis
A 10 MW grid-connected hydro project in Himachal Pradesh, India, registered under CDM with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-verified additionality. The project is structurally sound for a renewable energy credit, but the validation report flagged a persistent concern about whether the project would have occurred anyway, and two corrective actions remain open. Overall a moderate-quality credit with typical CDM-era documentation gaps.
Red Flags
- Validation report (2007) raised CL 2: 'It remains to be more clearly demonstrated that the project would not have occurred anyway' — a direct challenge to additionality that was not fully resolved in the available record
- Two corrective actions (DNA approval forwarding, calibration/maintenance discussion in PDD) were listed as required but their closure is not confirmed in the extracted documents
- Verified ERR figure is not stated in the available record; only the claimed cumulative total of 374,655 tCO₂ is available, limiting independent cross-checking
