Analysis

The Potrero Hydropower Plant is a CDM renewable-energy project with a confirmed investment-test additionality assessment and a jurisdictional baseline. The project delivered roughly 29% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2020 monitoring period, largely because the grid emission factor fell from 0.64969 tCO₂/MWh in the PDD to 0.30817 in the 2020 monitoring report, making the actual credit issuance conservative. Nine corrective actions were raised during validation but all were resolved before verification.
