300 MW Wind Power Project by SITAC Kabini in Gujarat

Audit Analysis

A 300 MW grid-connected wind project in Gujarat with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, but the verification report identified 13 material findings and 22 corrective actions, reflecting significant documentation gaps. The ERR figures show a contradiction between the monitoring report and the verification report, and FPIC was not conducted. For a wind avoidance project, fundamental integrity risks (permanence, reversal) are low, but the volume of unresolved documentation issues and the leakage justification discrepancy warrant caution.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠13 material findings and 22 corrective actions identified in the verification report, including missing income generation values, misaligned monitoring periods, and inconsistent electricity generation figures
• ⚠ERR contradiction: monitoring report states 999,168 while the verification report states 1,101,498.05 for the same period
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted despite safeguards being mentioned; stakeholder feedback round was deferred due to COVID-19 and still pending
• ⚠Leakage justification is inconsistent: the verification report (2025) states 'deemed negligible' while an earlier appendix (2021) references a 'quantified' approach
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document
