Talihya Nord I Hydro power rural electrification

Audit Analysis

A small hydro-powered rural electrification project in DRC using the AMS-I.L methodology, validated by Applus+ Certification. The project is registered and presents no reversal risk, but the validation report raised 18 material findings and 18 corrective actions covering additionality discussion, baseline calculation consistency, monitoring plan completeness, and a missing double-accounting undertaking. No monitoring report or verified emission reductions are available in the extracted record, and the low extraction confidence limits the depth of assessment.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠18 material findings and 18 corrective actions raised during validation, including 'Additionality not fully discussed' and 'Inconsistency in Baseline Emission calculation steps'
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% with justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the validation report, while the PDD claimed it was 'deemed negligible' — a contradiction that was not resolved in the VVB's assessment
• ⚠No undertaking for no double accounting in other GHG programs was included (CAR-03), and neither CORSIA eligibility nor CCP status is stated in any available document
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and the full picture may be incomplete
