1.25 MW Grid Connected Wind Electricity Generation at Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu

Audit Analysis

A small 1.25 MW CDM wind project in Tamil Nadu with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, but the extracted record contains no monitoring or verified-emissions data, a 10-fold discrepancy in claimed ERR between the PDD and validation report, and nine material findings at validation. The project's fundamental design is sound for a wind displacement project, yet the absence of any post-registration performance data and the low extraction confidence limit confidence in its real-world delivery.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Claimed ERR differs by a factor of 10 between the PDD (32,340 tCO₂e) and the validation report (3,234 tCO₂e); the basis (annual vs. 10-year lifetime) is not clarified in either document.
• ⚠Nine material findings (2 corrective actions, 7 comments) were raised at validation, including gaps in investment-barrier substantiation, baseline calculation checks, and stakeholder-consultation evidence.
• ⚠No monitoring report or verified-emissions figure is present in the extracted record, so actual delivery against the ex-ante estimate cannot be assessed.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable.
