Analysis

The Vaayu India wind project is a Gold Standard avoidance-type project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal risk, but its verification record is marred by 14 corrective actions covering spreadsheet errors, inconsistent monitoring data, and missing calculations. The grid emission factor dates to 2009, and several key parameters (FNRB, buffer pool, CORSIA status) are absent from the available documents. The project delivered roughly 63% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 199-day monitoring period, indicating conservative rather than inflated crediting.
