1500 MW Large Scale Nathpa Jhakri Hydroelectric Station by SJVN Limited (HCPL CREDUCE JV)

Audit Analysis

The Nathpa Jhakri 1500 MW hydroelectric project is a large-scale, government-backed renewable energy installation with inherently strong additionality and minimal permanence risk, but the available record consists solely of a Project Design Document with no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification. The absence of verified emissions reductions data, a named verification body, and a documented additionality test creates significant evidence gaps that limit confidence in the claimed 5.95 million tCO2e over the 2014–2021 crediting period.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification body (VVB) is identified in the available record, and no verification or monitoring report was found among the extracted documents
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the PDD, leaving the additionality claim undocumented
• ⚠Total verified ERR is not available, so the claimed 5,950,800 tCO2e cannot be cross-checked against actual monitoring data
• ⚠The PDD is dated 2022-03-07, which post-dates the end of the crediting period (2021-12-31), raising questions about the registration timeline
