Score Breakdown

Integrity

missing Additionality and baseline approach were not found in the extracted record (issuance only).

inferred No material findings or corrective actions are shown, but this is weak evidence given the limited documentation.

Transparency

missing Monitoring period, verified energy/ERR figures, and MRV approach were not found in the extracted record.

missing VVB name not found, limiting traceability of independent assurance.

Claim Safety

missing Over-crediting risk cannot be assessed because the grid emission factor and baseline method were not found in the extracted record.

inferred CORSIA and CCP status were not stated, leaving double-claim/eligibility uncertainty.

Documentation

missing Only one document type (issuance) was available, with low extraction confidence.

missing Key project documents (PDD/monitoring/verification) were not found in the extracted record.

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The extracted record contains only an issuance document and does not provide the baseline method, grid emission factor, or any additionality test description. Additionality confirmation by an independent validator was not found in the extracted record. Leakage treatment and any permanence/risk management measures (e.g., buffer pool) were also not stated, leaving core integrity elements unsubstantiated for an avoidance renewable energy claim.

Transparency

Transparency is weak because the monitoring period, monitoring approach, and any verified output/ERR figures were not found in the extracted record. The VVB name was not found, so it is not possible to confirm who provided independent assurance. With only an issuance record available, the MRV chain is not reconstructable from the extracted materials.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is limited by missing baseline and emissions factor information, which are necessary to judge whether credits could be overstated for grid-connected hydropower. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status were not stated in the extracted record, increasing uncertainty about how the credits might be used and whether there is heightened double-claim/eligibility risk. Because verified quantities were not found, there is also no way to cross-check claimed versus verified outcomes.

Documentation

Documentation is very limited: only one evidence document (issuance) was used, and the minimum extraction confidence is low, indicating readability/quality issues. The extracted record does not include a PDD, monitoring report, or verification report, and the document date was not found. This prevents assessment of recency, completeness, and independent validation details.

Overall

No contradictions were identified in the extracted record, but the absence of key facts across baseline, additionality, MRV, and safeguards materially reduces confidence. Given the low extraction confidence and single-document evidence base, the project cannot be robustly evaluated and scores are conservatively low. Note: if documentation remains below 3.0, transparency would be capped by the stated gate rule.

Audit Analysis

Only an issuance record was available, with low readability and almost no extractable information on baseline setting, additionality, monitoring, or safeguards. With these evidence gaps, the risk of over-crediting and weak substantiation is high even though the project type (renewable electricity) is generally straightforward.

Project Description

The total installed capacity of Yingjiang County Mingliang Trading Co., Ltd Shizishan Hydropower Station is 24 MW, three 8 MW generating units are installed. Such installation could provide over 96,000 MWh renewable power production to grid with reasonable price and considerable contribution towards local poverty reduction as well as improvement of environment with lower carbon emission reduction and consumption. The Production Facility had been registered CDM and credited since Dec 25th 2009, and expired until Dec 24th 2016, whose registration id was Project 2815.

Red Flags

No baseline approach, grid emission factor, or monitoring period found in the extracted record (only an issuance document available).
No evidence found of additionality assessment or third-party confirmation.
CORSIA/CCP status not stated, increasing uncertainty around downstream claim and double-claim risk.
Low document extraction confidence suggests key details may be missing or unreadable.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

Publish or provide the core project documentation (PDD/technical description, monitoring report, and independent verification/assurance statement) including monitoring period and verified MWh/ERR.
Disclose the baseline approach and grid emission factor source/year used for crediting, and provide evidence of additionality assessment and third-party confirmation.
Add clear safeguards documentation (stakeholder engagement/FPIC where relevant, grievance mechanism) and state CORSIA/CCP eligibility status to reduce claim and double-claim uncertainty.
