Guizhou Pan County Yingwudashan Small-scale Hydro Power Project

Audit Analysis

A small-scale hydro CDM project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a standard grid-displacement baseline, but the extracted record contains no monitoring or verification data, a low extraction confidence rating, and two inter-document contradictions (ERR figure and baseline method) that limit confidence in the project's actual performance and documentation quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring report or verified ERR figure is present in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual credit delivery against the 194,810 tCO2e ex-ante estimate
• ⚠Two contradictions between documents: the validation report states a project-specific baseline while the PDD states a jurisdictional baseline, and the financial document reports an ERR of 27,830 versus 194,810 in the validation report
• ⚠Nine material findings were logged during validation (inconsistent water-head values, incorrect power-shortage description, generator-type mismatch, etc.), indicating a PDD that required multiple corrections before approval
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and the structured data may be incomplete
