5 MW Sahu Hydro Electric Project for a grid connected system in Himachal Pradesh, India
#91of 387 in India#29of 213 in CDM (UNFCCC)#47of 417 in AMS-I.D
Audit Analysis
A 5 MW grid-connected small hydro project in Himachal Pradesh, India, verified under CDM methodology AMS-I.D. with a combined additionality test confirmed by TÜV Rheinland Japan. The project is fundamentally sound for its type, but documentation gaps (missing verified ERR, weak leakage justification, unresolved PDD/monitoring plan revisions) and three inter-document contradictions moderate confidence in the credit claims.
Red Flags
- Corrective actions remain open: PDD revision to reflect actual turbine type, voltage, and power factor, and Monitoring Plan revision to match actual procedures and equipment.
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified as 'not addressed' in the 2024 monitoring report, contradicting the 2011 report which stated it was quantified — the justification basis is unclear.
- Baseline method is recorded as 'project' in the 2024 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2009 validation report, creating ambiguity about the baseline construction.
- Verified ERR figure is not present in the extracted record, preventing independent cross-check of claimed credits against actual monitoring data.
