Audit Analysis
A straightforward 3 MW wind farm in India with a jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The project delivered roughly 86% of its claimed emissions reductions in the first monitoring period, consistent with pro-rata expectations. However, the PDD carried 16 material findings (all resolved) touching on emission-factor selection, sensitivity analysis, and tax computation, and safeguards documentation is thin.
Red Flags
- 16 material findings (CARs) in the PDD covered emission-factor selection, sensitivity-analysis conformity, tax computation, and PLF conformity — all resolved but indicating a PDD that required substantial methodological correction before approval
- Free, prior and informed consultation (FPIC) and a formal grievance mechanism are not documented in the extracted record, despite safeguards being mentioned in general terms
- The grid emission factor of 0.92695 tCO₂/MWh is sourced from 2008 data; no evidence of a more recent or generation-weighted EF update was found in the available documents
