Audit Analysis

A 32 MW small-hydropower project in Gansu, China, displacing grid electricity under the well-established ACM0002 methodology. The jurisdictional baseline and negligible-leakage treatment are appropriate for the project type, and the ERR figures are internally consistent (annual × 7-year crediting period). Key gaps include the absence of an explicitly stated additionality test type, missing monitoring-period details, and one unidentified source document, which limit confidence in the full evidentiary record.

Red Flags

  • Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving the additionality assessment undocumented in the available data
  • One of the four source documents is listed as 'unknown', reducing confidence in the completeness of the evidence base
  • No monitoring report or monitoring-period data was found in the extracted record, limiting verification of actual performance against the ex-ante estimate
