Audit Analysis
The Chilatán Hydroelectric Project is a small-scale CDM hydro avoidance project in Mexico with a jurisdictional baseline, combined additionality test, and reasonable leakage treatment. However, the available record contains only validation-stage documents with no monitoring or verification reports, leaving delivery unverified. A significant ERR figure discrepancy between the PDD and validation report is explainable (annual vs. lifetime basis) but reflects documentation inconsistency.
Red Flags
- No monitoring or verification reports found in the extracted record — actual credit delivery is unverified
- ERR figures differ by a factor of 7 between the PDD (181,867 tCO2e) and the validation report (25,981 tCO2e), though the ratio matches the 7-year crediting period
- CORSIA and CCP eligibility status not stated in any available document
