12 MW Bhandardara Hydro Project in Maharashtra by DLHPPL.
#2of 421 in Universal Carbon Registry (UCR)#136of 416 in AMS-I.D
Audit Analysis
The 12 MW Bhandardara small hydro project uses a jurisdictional baseline and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction, but the available record consists solely of the PDD with no verification report, monitoring report, or named VVB. Additionality was not explicitly confirmed by an independent verifier in the extracted data, and no verified emission reduction figures are available to benchmark against the 37,155 tCO₂e lifetime claim. The project is structurally sound for a small hydro avoidance project but lacks the independent verification layer needed for high confidence.
Red Flags
- No verification report or monitoring report is present in the evidence set despite a four-year monitoring period (2021–2024); only the PDD (dated Feb 2025) is available.
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving the additionality claim unverified by an independent body.
- No VVB is named in the available documents, making it impossible to assess the independence and rigour of the verification process.
