13.95 MW grid connected wind electricity generation by SRF Limited

Audit Analysis

A 13.95 MW wind project in India with a sound avoidance-type design (jurisdictional grid baseline, VVB-confirmed investment additionality, no permanence risk) but hampered by multiple operational monitoring deviations, seven or more corrective actions, and inconsistencies across documents. The project delivered roughly 75% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation, which is conservative and reduces over-crediting risk. Documentation gaps and the absence of FPIC limit the overall confidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven or more corrective actions were required in the verification report, including missing commissioning certificates, calibration gaps from Jan 2016 to Feb 2018, and a double-counting declaration that had to be submitted after the fact
• ⚠Missing JMR readings for March 2014 and September 2015 were replaced with TANGEDCO data, introducing a data-source inconsistency in the monitoring record
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted despite the project being in India, where community engagement expectations are high
• ⚠Multiple contradictions between the 2009 validation report and the 2022 verification report (baseline method, safeguards, grievance mechanism, crediting period) reduce confidence in the consistency of the project record
