Analysis

The Olkaria IV Geothermal Project is a well-structured CDM renewable energy project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional baseline, but it is held back by a contradictory and ultimately unaddressed leakage justification, 17 material findings indicating PDD errors, and four outstanding corrective actions. The project delivered roughly 68% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2019–2020 monitoring period, which is conservative and reduces over-crediting risk. Overall, the project is credible but carries moderate documentation and methodological gaps.
