Audit Analysis
A small hydroelectric project in Turkey using the standard AMS-I.D methodology with a jurisdictional grid baseline. The verification report confirms that actual reductions were 68.2% below the ex-ante estimate due to lower rainfall, meaning the project is conservatively reporting verified actuals rather than over-crediting. Key gaps include the absence of an explicitly stated additionality test type and several safeguards details, but the project type carries inherent permanence advantages.
Red Flags
- The verification report (2023) reports that actual emission reductions were 68.2% lower than the ex-ante estimate due to lower rainfall between 2013 and 2019, indicating the original project design assumptions were significantly optimistic.
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation of additionality are not stated in the extracted record, creating an evidence gap on a fundamental VCS requirement.
- Three corrective actions were required by the VVB, including a discrepancy in ex-ante emission reduction figures between the Excel worksheet and the monitoring report, and an untraceable change in installed capacity.
