Audit Analysis
The 24 MW Kut Hydro Power Project is a CDM-registered avoidance project in India with a jurisdictional baseline (reassessed 2022) and VVB-confirmed additionality via a combined test. The project displaces grid electricity (0.8 tCO₂/MWh), making leakage and reversal risks inherently low, but the absence of a buffer pool, unperformed FPIC, and a contradiction in leakage treatment between the monitoring report and an appendix introduce moderate uncertainty. Verified emission reduction figures are not available in the extracted record, limiting the ability to confirm actual delivery against the pro-rata expectation.
Red Flags
- Verified ERR figure is not stated in any available document, preventing confirmation of actual delivery against the pro-rata expectation for the 2019–2020 monitoring period
- Leakage treatment is inconsistent: the monitoring report (2022) states leakage is deemed negligible with a 0% deduction, while an appendix describes it as 'quantified' — the basis for the 0% deduction is therefore unclear
- Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) was not conducted, and no grievance mechanism is documented, despite safeguards being mentioned in the project documents
