1.5 MW Grid connected Wind Electricity Generation at Tirunelveli District, Tamilnadu, India by Kallam Agro Products and Oils Private Limited

Audit Analysis

A 1.5 MW grid-connected wind project in Tamil Nadu, India, registered under CDM with a VVB-verified investment additionality test and a standardised AMS-I.D methodology. The project design is fundamentally sound for displacing grid electricity, but three contradictions between the validation and monitoring reports (baseline method, leakage justification, crediting period dates) and five material findings (all corrected) introduce moderate uncertainty. The verified ERR figure is absent from the extracted record, preventing a direct over- or under-delivery check.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method is stated as 'project' in the monitoring report (2012) but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report (2009) — an unresolved contradiction that affects baseline credibility
• ⚠Leakage justification is inconsistent: 'deemed negligible' in the validation report versus 'quantified' in the monitoring report, while the deduction remains 0% in both
• ⚠Five material findings were raised during verification (title mismatch, boundary opacity, investment-analysis transparency, data-archiving gap, calibration procedures), all requiring corrective action
• ⚠The verified ERR figure is not present in the extracted record, so the claimed 37,960 tCO₂e cannot be independently confirmed against a VVB-verified number
• ⚠Crediting-period start dates differ between the validation report (2009-09-01) and the monitoring report (2009-12-15)
