Audit Analysis
A CDM hydro project with a well-established methodology (ACM0002 v13), VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, and a jurisdictional baseline. The project is an avoidance-type (displacing grid electricity), so permanence risk is inherently low. Main gaps are the absence of a verified ERR figure, unstated CORSIA/CCP status, and a minor discrepancy between two monitoring reports that is most likely attributable to different hydro generation periods.
Red Flags
- Total ERR verified figure is not stated in the extracted record, preventing independent confirmation of the 224,308 tCO₂e claimed in the 2016 monitoring report
- Two monitoring reports show different claimed ERR values (290,434 in the July 2015 report vs 224,308 in the April 2016 report); while likely reflecting different hydro generation periods, the discrepancy was not explicitly reconciled in the documents
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
