Analysis

The Sihwa Tidal Power Plant is a well-established CDM renewable-energy project displacing Korean grid electricity, with a reasonable grid-based baseline and a 0% leakage deduction that is appropriate for the sector. However, the extracted record lacks a confirmed additionality test type, a verified ERR figure, and shows several resolved material findings and documentation corrective actions, which temper confidence in the MRV chain. The project delivered roughly 86% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitored year, indicating conservative crediting.
