HPPCL Integrated Kashang Hydro Electric Project

Audit Analysis

The Kashang Hydro project is a large-scale CDM hydroelectric project in India with a confirmed investment additionality test and a standard jurisdictional grid baseline. However, the available record is heavily weighted toward the 2012 validation phase, with no verified monitoring data, no buffer pool, and low extraction confidence, making it difficult to assess actual delivery and long-term integrity. Seven corrective action requests during validation (all resolved) and a minor contradiction on the additionality test type introduce modest reliability concerns.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven Corrective Action Requests (CARs) were raised during validation, indicating material issues that had to be resolved before approval
• ⚠No verified ERR or monitoring period data is available in the extracted record, preventing any assessment of actual credit delivery
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and data completeness is uncertain
• ⚠One of the six source documents is classified as 'unknown' type, reducing confidence in the evidentiary base
