Audit Analysis
A small hydro project in China verified by DNV with a confirmed investment additionality test and conservative grid emission factor. The project shows no reversal risk and reasonable leakage treatment, but the ERR figures differ substantially between the validation and monitoring reports, and several safeguards and monitoring details are absent from the extracted record.
Red Flags
- ERR of 39,258 tCO2e reported for an 18.5-month monitoring period versus an ex-ante lifetime estimate of 45,315 tCO2e over 7 years implies delivery at roughly 390% of the pro-rata expectation, creating uncertainty about the accuracy of the ex-ante baseline estimate
- Material findings note actual grid power (45,012 and 50,871 MWh) was lower than the 53,730 MWh estimate, which is directionally inconsistent with the high ERR reported in the monitoring report
- No FPIC, grievance mechanism, or detailed safeguards documentation found in the extracted record despite safeguards being mentioned
