Analysis

A CDM hydropower project in Yunnan, China, with a solid combined additionality test verified by DNV and a jurisdictional baseline. The project experienced a significant under-delivery in 2009 (roughly 65% of the PDD estimate) due to low rainfall, raising questions about the robustness of the ex-ante hydrological assumptions, though 2014 monitoring showed delivery at approximately 107% of the pro-rata expectation. Several transparency fields remain unreported, and CORSIA/CCP eligibility is not stated.
