Analysis

A CDM small-hydropower project in Sri Lanka with a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and a standard jurisdictional grid-displacement baseline, but undermined by extensive material findings including meter calibration gaps, calculation errors, missing construction emissions, and inadequate stakeholder-consultation documentation. The ERR figures in the PDD and monitoring report are on different bases (annual vs. cumulative), creating a labeling contradiction that reduces data clarity. Overall a mid-range project whose fundamental claim is sound but whose documentation and monitoring quality fall short of best practice.
