Audit Analysis
A 1.25 MW wind project in Gujarat registered under CDM with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional grid baseline. The project delivered roughly 62% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation over the monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting. However, six material findings at validation—including a debundling concern and financial-calculation gaps—along with a baseline-method contradiction between the validation and monitoring reports temper confidence in the underlying data.
Red Flags
- Debundling concern: the validation report flagged an existing registered CDM project by the same participant, requiring justification that the 1.25 MW unit is genuinely additional
- Baseline method contradiction: the validation report (2012) describes a project-specific baseline while the monitoring report (2021) describes a jurisdictional baseline; the two documents are inconsistent
- Six material findings at validation, including incorrect financial-indicator parameters (PLF, tariff, costs) and a missing meter-failure procedure, all requiring corrective action before issuance
