1.2 MW Wind Power Project in Tamil Nadu by RCR-Eco Power

Audit Analysis

A small 1.2 MW CDM wind project in Tamil Nadu with a confirmed investment-test additionality and a standard jurisdictional grid baseline, but undermined by five material findings from the VVB, a ten-fold discrepancy in the claimed emission reduction figure between the validation report and an appendix, and a near-total absence of monitoring or verification data. The low extraction confidence and missing monitoring records further erode confidence in the project's data integrity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Ten-fold discrepancy in total ERR: the validation report states 26,470 tCO₂ while an appendix figure reads approximately 2,647 tCO₂ — a 10× gap that raises serious over-crediting or data-entry concerns
• ⚠Five material findings (CARs) raised by RINA Services, including lack of transparency on electricity export to the Southern grid, unjustified benchmark selection, and absence of a meter cross-checking procedure in the monitoring plan
• ⚠No monitoring report, verified ERR, or monitoring period data found in any available document despite a 10-year crediting period (2011–2021)
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
