100 MW grid connected Wind Power project in Jamnagar Gujarat, India
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was tested using an investment test and was confirmed by the VVB in the monitoring record.
missing Leakage is not addressed in the monitoring report, and the project-specific baseline has not been reassessed in the available record.
Transparency
verified The project has a named VVB, a defined monitoring period, and a verified emissions reduction figure in the monitoring report.
missing The report requests missing supporting documents and does not state key monitoring details such as usage monitoring method or grid emission factor year.
Claim Safety
verified The project is a renewable wind installation under ACM0002, which generally lowers over-crediting risk compared with more complex methodologies.
missing Leakage justification is inconsistent across documents, and the record does not state CORSIA eligibility or CCP status.
Documentation
verified Multiple official documents were used, including the PDD, validation report, monitoring report, and issuance-related material.
missing The monitoring report contains several requested follow-up items and the extraction record notes a poorly complete evidence trail for some calculations and declarations.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The project benefits from a VVB-confirmed investment test, which is a meaningful positive for additionality, and the monitoring record reports no material findings. Still, the monitoring report says leakage is not addressed, while the contradiction log says an earlier validation report quantified leakage; I privileged the more recent monitoring report because it is the latest project-specific evidence, but the inconsistency lowers confidence. The baseline is project-specific and the available record does not show a recent reassessment, so permanence and baseline robustness are only moderate.
Transparency
Transparency is mixed: the project has a named verifier, a clear monitoring period, and a verified emissions reduction total, which helps. But the monitoring report also asks for missing supporting documents such as commissioning certificates, PPA, invoices, calibration records, and grievance-register copies, and key operational details like the usage monitoring method and grid emission factor year are not stated in the extracted record. That leaves the MRV trail incomplete even though the extraction confidence is high.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is moderate because the project is a grid-connected wind project under ACM0002, a standard renewable methodology, and additionality was verified. The main concern is that leakage treatment is unclear and the record does not provide CORSIA eligibility or CCP status, so dual-claim and over-crediting risk cannot be fully ruled out. The contradiction on leakage treatment also weakens confidence in the robustness of the credited reductions.
Documentation
Documentation is reasonably broad, with evidence drawn from issuance, the PDD, validation, and monitoring documents, and the extraction confidence is high. Even so, the monitoring report itself lists several missing items and requests further supporting evidence, including generation support, calibration records, grievance documentation, and a double-counting declaration. The crediting period also differs between the monitoring report and the PDD, which suggests the document set is not fully harmonized.
Overall
Overall, this is a mid-quality renewable crediting case: the core additionality case is supported, but the evidence trail is incomplete and some key safeguards and accounting details are not fully documented. I privileged the monitoring report over the older validation report for leakage and crediting-period details because it is more recent and project-specific, but the contradictions still reduce reliability. Because the project is registered and the verifier found no material findings, the score is not low, yet the unresolved documentation gaps and inconsistent leakage treatment keep it from being strong.
Audit Analysis
This is a registered VCS wind project with VVB-confirmed investment-test additionality and no reported material findings, which supports moderate integrity. However, the monitoring report leaves important gaps on leakage treatment, supporting evidence, and some monitoring details, and there are contradictions across documents that reduce confidence in the claimed reductions.
Project Description
Proponent: Verdant Renewables Private Limited Protocol categories: Energy industries (renewable/non-renewable sources) Protocols: ACM0002 Estimated annual GHG reductions: 363796 tCO2e Region: Asia Registration date: 2022-11-03
Red Flags
- The monitoring report says leakage is not addressed, while an earlier validation report reportedly quantified it, creating a documentation inconsistency.
- The verification team requested missing supporting documents for generation, calibration, grievance records, and double-counting declarations, indicating incomplete audit evidence.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a reconciled leakage assessment and explain the difference between the monitoring report and the earlier validation report.
- Publish the missing supporting evidence for generation, calibration, grievance handling, and double-counting declarations, along with a clear statement on CORSIA eligibility and CCP status.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
