20.8 MW Grid connected wind electricity generation project at Dhule, Maharashtra

Audit Analysis

A 20.8 MW CDM wind project in Maharashtra with a confirmed combined additionality test and a reasonable grid-emission-factor baseline, but the validation report flagged seven corrective action requests and sixteen material findings, including a missing credible alternative and misaligned performance level factors. No monitoring or verification data is available in the extracted record, and the low extraction confidence further limits confidence in the project's ongoing performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven corrective action requests (CARs) were raised during validation, including failure to identify a credible alternative (CAR 2) and a performance level factor not aligned with EB 48 Annex 11 (CAR 3), indicating material weaknesses in the additionality and calculation framework at the time of validation.
• ⚠No verification or monitoring reports are present in the extracted record; the project's crediting period ended in June 2021, yet no verified emission reduction figures or monitoring period data are available.
• ⚠Two contradictions exist between the validation report and the PDD/appendix on additionality test type (combined vs. investment) and baseline method (project vs. jurisdictional), reducing confidence in the consistency of the project documentation.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable, further undermining the reliability of the extracted data.
