Audit Analysis
The Gudauri Small Hydropower Project is a CDM-registered hydro project in Georgia with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project delivered 89% of its period-specific emission reduction expectation, with the shortfall attributable to a July 2015 flood that forced a one-month shutdown. Several inter-document contradictions (baseline method, crediting period, additionality test type) and the absence of CORSIA/CCP status information temper confidence, but no evidence of over-crediting or reversal risk was found.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is described as 'jurisdictional' in the monitoring report but 'project-specific' in the validation report — an unresolved contradiction that affects baseline credibility
- Crediting period differs between the PDD (2013-01-01 to 2019-12-31) and the monitoring report (2013-12-31 to 2020-12-30), creating ambiguity about the correct project lifetime
- Grid emission factor is from 2008 and no updated value or reassessment date is stated in any available document
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any extracted document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
