Audit Analysis

A 5 MW grid-connected small hydro project in Himachal Pradesh, India, verified by DNV under CDM AMS-I.D v16, with a common-practice additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline. The project delivered approximately 95% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation over the full 7-year crediting period, indicating conservative crediting. Minor gaps exist in MRV detail documentation and one source document is unidentified, but no material compliance issues remain outstanding.

Red Flags

  • Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification and no quantified analysis; while reasonable for a grid-connected hydro, the absence of a documented quantification is a minor gap.
  • One of the five source documents is listed as 'unknown' in the evidence record, reducing traceability of the full documentation chain.
  • The additionality test type is inconsistent between the PDD (investment test) and the validation report (common-practice test), creating ambiguity about which test was actually applied.
