Audit Analysis
The Teesta-V Hydro Power Project is a well-structured VCS avoidance project with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test. However, the verification report identifies a significant concern—GHG ERRs were reported during periods of complete plant shutdown—along with numerous documentation inconsistencies and 17 corrective actions, which collectively moderate confidence in the credit quality. Pro-rata delivery is close to the ex-ante expectation (~99%), but the shutdown issue and unresolved CORSIA/CCP status warrant caution.
Red Flags
- GHG ERRs were reported for periods of complete shutdown of the power station, raising over-crediting risk
- Unreported project design deviation: a new entity (Core CarbonX Solutions Private Limited) joined the project without prior disclosure
- Inconsistencies between the monitoring report and calibration certificates regarding meter serial numbers and actual generation values
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
