Analysis

The SHP Itaguacu small-hydro project has a solid additionality foundation (investment test confirmed by ICONTEC) and a jurisdictional baseline, but is undermined by a significant discrepancy between the grid emission factor used at validation (0.1987 tCO₂/kWh) and the one applied in the 2021 monitoring report (0.3551 tCO₂/kWh), which inflates the claimed ERR to 183,638 tCO₂ against an ex-ante lifetime cap of 103,725 tCO₂. Five corrective action requests and six comments from the VVB, including missing environmental licences and an outdated additionality reference, further erode confidence in the project's data integrity.
