Analysis

A CDM small-hydro project in Sri Lanka with a standard investment-test additionality assessment and smart-meter monitoring, but the extracted record contains five material contradictions across baseline method, grid emission factor, leakage justification, and ERR figures that undermine confidence in the data. The project delivered roughly 96% of its ex-ante lifetime estimate over the full seven-year crediting period, which is reasonable, yet the absence of a verified ERR figure and the unusual PDD dating (2022 for a 2011–2017 project) raise documentation-quality concerns.
