Audit Analysis
The 12 MW Raura Hydro Project is a VCS-registered renewable energy project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and no reversal events, but it is undermined by ten cross-document contradictions—particularly on baseline method, leakage justification, and ERR figures—that reduce confidence in the data record. The project delivered below its ex-ante estimate in the most recent monitoring period due to low water availability, which is a positive signal against over-crediting. Overall, the project is moderately sound but its documentation trail is inconsistent enough to warrant caution.
Red Flags
- Ten contradictions across documents, including baseline method ('project' in 2023 verification vs 'jurisdictional' in 2025 monitoring report) and leakage justification ('not_addressed' in 2024 vs 'deemed_negligible' in 2023), indicating inconsistent reporting over time
- ERR figures conflict within the same monitoring report (79,607 vs 45,575 tCO2e, both dated 2025-09-23), making it unclear which value represents the ex-ante estimate and which the verified figure
- Crediting period start date differs by six months between the validation report (2019-03-01) and the 2025 verification report (2019-09-09), creating ambiguity about the exact project timeline
- Grid emission factor of 0.92245 tCO2/MWh is from 2018 and no updated value or reassessment date is stated in the available documents
