Analysis

A small (8 MW) CDM hydropower project in Yunnan, China, validated by RINA Services in 2015 using a jurisdictional baseline and an investment additionality test. The project is methodologically sound for its sector, but the extracted record contains no monitoring or verification data, four material findings were raised during validation, and key transparency indicators (verified ERR, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status) are absent.
