Analysis

The Matanzas Hydroelectric Plant is a CDM hydro project in Guatemala using the AMS-I.D. v14 methodology, with a named VVB (AENOR) and a defined monitoring period. However, the verification report identified four material findings including baseline emission-factor calculation inconsistencies and an outdated calculation tool, and the additionality barrier test lacks confirmed VVB verification in the extracted record. The project over-delivered relative to its ex-ante estimate for the elapsed monitoring period, but a significant gap between the claimed and verified ERR figures, combined with the baseline calculation errors, warrants caution.
