Audit Analysis
A 15 MW grid-connected wind project in Tamil Nadu validated under CDM with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, but the record is undermined by four cross-document contradictions (baseline method, leakage justification, FPIC status, additionality test type) and the absence of a verified ERR figure. The project is inherently low-risk for wind (minimal reversal and leakage exposure), yet the documentation gaps and inconsistent narratives prevent a higher confidence rating.
Red Flags
- Four contradictions between the validation report, PDD, and monitoring report on baseline method, leakage justification, FPIC, and additionality test type reduce data reliability
- Total verified ERR is not found in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the 371,445 tCO₂e lifetime claim
- Grid emission factor of 0.9321 tCO₂/MWh is from 2006 and no updated value is provided
