4.5MW Mini Hydel Power Project at M/s Gokak Power and Energy Limited by Energy Advisory Services

Audit Analysis

A 4.5 MW mini-hydro project in Karnataka registered under the UCR standard using the AMS-I.D methodology, with a jurisdictional baseline and a 2016 grid emission factor of 0.9 tCO₂/MWh. The available evidence is limited to a single PDD document; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification is present, making it impossible to confirm additionality, verify emissions reductions, or assess over-crediting risk. The project's inherent physical permanence as a hydro asset is a positive, but the absence of a buffer pool, confirmed additionality testing, and any verified performance data leaves significant evidence gaps.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verification report or monitoring report is available; only a PDD was extracted, leaving additionality, ERR verification, and MRV quality entirely unconfirmed
• ⚠No VVB is identified in the available documents, so the independence and quality of the verification process cannot be assessed
• ⚠Neither claimed nor verified emissions reductions are available, preventing any assessment of over- or under-delivery
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, creating a material gap in the additionality chain
