Audit Analysis

A 150 MW grid-connected wind project in Gujarat validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The project is fundamentally sound as an avoidance-type renewable energy project, but the available record is limited to a validation report and PDD with no monitoring data, and a significant seven-fold discrepancy in the claimed emission reduction figure between the two documents raises data-reliability concerns.

Red Flags

  • Seven-fold discrepancy in total claimed emissions reductions: the PDD (Oct 2019) states 326,203 tCO2 while the validation report (Jan 2020) states 2,283,421 tCO2 — the validation report figure is privileged as the more recent and higher-authority document, but the gap undermines confidence in the underlying calculation
  • No monitoring period, verified ERR, or FNRB method found in the extracted record, leaving the actual delivery performance unassessable
  • No buffer pool percentage stated; while wind is an avoidance project with low reversal risk, the absence of any permanence safeguard documentation is a gap
