Audit Analysis
A 1.5 MW CDM wind project in Rajasthan with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The project delivered roughly 64% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation over the monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting. However, 11 material findings during validation (including a windmill capacity mismatch and debundling gaps) and a fixed 2009 grid emission factor introduce moderate uncertainty.
Red Flags
- Eleven material findings during validation, including a windmill capacity mismatch between the PDD and site documents, failure to demonstrate debundling criteria per Annex 13, and required corrections to investment analysis parameters (benchmark, cost, PLF)
- Grid emission factor fixed at the 2009 value of 0.9224 tCO₂/MWh for the entire 2012–2022 crediting period, with no evidence of periodic update as India's grid mix evolved
- Contradiction between the monitoring report (leakage 'deemed negligible', 0% deduction) and an appendix describing leakage as 'quantified' — the basis for the 0% deduction is ambiguous
