82 MW Lau Renun Hydro Power Plant, North Sumatra

Audit Analysis
The 82 MW Lau Renun hydro project uses a standard jurisdictional (grid emission factor) baseline and a VVB-confirmed additionality test, but the verification report carries multiple corrective actions—including a requirement to further justify additionality and an unacceptable CH4 exclusion—indicating substantive gaps in the original submission. The project is not CORSIA-eligible and leakage is deemed negligible, which is reasonable for a grid-connected hydro plant, but the absence of a stated buffer pool and the 'not addressed' reversal treatment leave permanence safeguards under-documented.
Red Flags
- CAR 2 in the 2022 verification report requires further justification of the additionality demonstration, and CAR 7 states the CH4 exclusion justification is not acceptable—both are substantive integrity concerns raised by the VVB
- Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, and reversal events are marked as 'not addressed', leaving permanence risk unquantified
- Eleven contradictions across documents (baseline method, additionality test type, grid EF, leakage justification, FPIC, grievance mechanism, crediting period) indicate inconsistent reporting over the project's history

Risk Indicators
VVB-confirmed but CAR 2 requires further justification; test type changed between validations
mixed evidence / unresolved risk
0% deduction, deemed negligible—reasonable for grid-connected hydro
Jurisdictional grid-EF baseline, last reassessed 2017; 10-year VCS ALM reassessment not yet due (~2026)
FPIC and safeguards mentioned per 2022 docs, but grievance mechanism absent per 2013 verification; inconsistent across documents
CORSIA not eligible; CCP status not stated in any available document
