100 MW Bundled Wind Power Project In Anantapuram, Andhra Pradesh

Audit Analysis

A 100 MW wind power project in Andhra Pradesh with VVB-verified additionality and conservative emission reduction figures (6.63% below estimate), but a material finding that only 40 MW of the 100 MW capacity has been commissioned due to land acquisition issues raises over-crediting concerns. The project-specific baseline and absence of a stated buffer pool moderate the integrity profile, while the 0% leakage deduction is well-justified for a grid-connected wind facility.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Only 40 MW of the 100 MW project capacity has been commissioned due to land acquisition issues (material finding in the 2023 verification report), creating a risk that credits were issued for uncommissioned capacity
• ⚠Baseline method is contradictory: the 2023 verification report states 'project' while the 2023 monitoring report states 'jurisdictional' — the less robust project-specific baseline is privileged here
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
