Analysis

A small hydro CDM project in South Korea with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-verified investment-test additionality, but significant concerns around a 2008 grid emission factor, a ~51% under-delivery relative to the pro-rata ex-ante expectation, and low extraction confidence across the document set. No outstanding corrective actions remain, and the leakage treatment is reasonable for a grid-displacement hydro project.
