Guizhou Yanhe Guanba 18.9MW Hydropower Station Project

Audit Analysis

A standard CDM small-hydro avoidance project (18.9 MW) with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The core design is sound and leakage is reasonably justified as negligible, but the absence of any verified monitoring data, monitoring period, or usage-tracking method creates a significant transparency gap that prevents independent confirmation of actual credit delivery.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verified ERR figures or monitoring period found in any available document, making it impossible to confirm whether the 326,886 tCO₂e lifetime claim was actually delivered
• ⚠Additionality test type is described as 'investment' in the validation report but 'combined' in the PDD, creating ambiguity about the full scope of the additionality assessment
• ⚠No monitoring reports appear in the evidence document set, leaving the project's operational performance unverified
