Analysis

A 12 MW CDM hydropower project in Qinghai, China, with a solid investment-test additionality confirmed by DNV and a reasonable zero-leakage justification for grid-displacement. The project delivered approximately 98% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitored period, indicating credible crediting. Key gaps include the absence of a verified ERR figure, sparse monitoring-method detail, and a minor baseline-methodology labeling inconsistency between the validation and monitoring reports.
