200 MW Wind Power Project in Tamil Nadu by Orange Sironj

Audit Analysis

A 200 MW wind power project in Tamil Nadu with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a standard grid-emission-factor baseline. The project is fundamentally low-risk for a renewable energy credit, but seven contradictions across documents—including on FPIC, baseline method, and benefit sharing—undermine confidence in the data record. The verified ERR (650,601 tCO₂e) exceeds the claimed figure (512,411), which is atypical but explainable for a wind project where actual generation can outperform estimates.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven contradictions between documents, including FPIC (true in verification report vs. false in PDD), baseline method (project vs. jurisdictional), and benefit sharing (described vs. not described), raising data-reliability concerns
• ⚠Verified ERR (650,601) exceeds claimed ERR (512,411) by ~27%, an unusual direction that warrants scrutiny of the monitoring methodology
• ⚠Leakage justification is contradictory: the verification report states it was 'not addressed' while the monitoring report says it was 'deemed negligible'
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
