12 MW Small Scale Mini Hydel Power Project by M/S Balaji Energy Pvt. Ltd.
#3of 433 in Universal Carbon Registry (UCR)#488of 806 in AMS-I.D
Audit Analysis
A 12 MW small-scale mini-hydro project in Andhra Pradesh registered under the UCR voluntary registry, using the well-established AMS-I.D methodology with a jurisdictional baseline and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction. However, the available record consists solely of a Project Design Document; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification was found, leaving additionality, verified emissions reductions, and CORSIA/CCP eligibility entirely unconfirmed.
Red Flags
- No additionality test type or VVB confirmation found in the available PDD; the AMS-I.D methodology requires an investment or barrier test, but no evidence of its completion is present in the extracted record.
- No verified emissions reduction figure is available to cross-check against the 37,843 tCO₂e claimed over the 2014–2021 crediting period, making over- or under-crediting impossible to assess.
- Only a single document (the PDD dated May 2022) was used; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification appears in the record.
