Audit Analysis
A CDM wind energy project in India with a solid jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality, delivering roughly seven times the pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitored period. The main weakness is the contradictory and thin leakage justification across documents, and the absence of several monitoring and safeguards details in the extracted record.
Red Flags
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the validation report (2011) states leakage was 'deemed negligible' while the monitoring report (2013) records it as 'not addressed', leaving the 0% deduction without a consistent, documented rationale.
- The ex-ante ERR estimate (39,079 tCO₂ over 7 years) appears very conservative relative to the verified 42,233 tCO₂ in just ~1.1 years, raising questions about the accuracy of the original capacity-factor or generation assumptions in the PDD.
