Audit Analysis
A 5 MW grid-connected hydro project in Gansu, China, validated under CDM with a standard jurisdictional grid baseline and a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The core design is sound and leakage treatment is reasonable for a grid-connected renewable, but the available record contains no monitoring or verification reports, no verified emission reduction figures, and low extraction confidence, leaving the project's actual performance unconfirmed.
Red Flags
- No monitoring reports or verification reports found in the extracted record; total verified ERR is not stated, so actual delivery cannot be assessed against the 115,661 tCO₂e lifetime claim.
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, and one of the four source documents is listed as 'unknown', reducing reliability of the extracted data.
- No FPIC or grievance mechanism is documented despite safeguards being mentioned, leaving community engagement unverified.
