Guizhou Wujiang Shatuo Hydropower Project

Audit Analysis

The Guizhou Wujiang Shatuo Hydropower Project is a CDM-registered avoidance-type hydro project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, both of which are sound for the project type. However, the absence of any monitoring-period data, verified emission reductions, or permanence documentation creates significant evidence gaps that limit confidence in the claimed ~18.5 million tCO₂e over the 2013–2020 crediting period. The low extraction confidence on source documents further weakens the evidentiary base.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures are available in the extracted record, making it impossible to cross-check the 18,499,175 tCO₂e lifetime claim against actual performance
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key source document was poorly readable and the extracted facts may be incomplete
• ⚠Nine Corrective Action Requests were raised during validation (all subsequently closed), suggesting initial documentation or design gaps that required remediation
• ⚠No buffer pool, permanence mechanism, or reversal-risk assessment is documented, although inherent risk is low for a grid-displacement hydro project
