4.5 MW Wind Power Project in Kadavakallu, Andhra Pradesh
#117of 770 in Renewable energy#63of 387 in India#15of 213 in CDM (UNFCCC)
Audit Analysis
A 4.5 MW wind displacement project under CDM AMS 1.D with VVB-confirmed additionality and appropriate leakage treatment, but hampered by a baseline-method contradiction between the validation and monitoring reports, a grid emission factor drawn from 2005, and four material findings (all resolved). The project delivered roughly 115% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation in the first monitoring period, indicating no over-crediting risk.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is described as 'project' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report — a direct contradiction that undermines confidence in the baseline characterization
- Grid emission factor of 0.86 tCO2/MWh is drawn from 2005 data; no evidence of periodic grid-EF updates across the 10-year crediting period
- Four material findings were raised during verification, including an inconsistency in the source of generation data between PDD sections and an inappropriate meter reading for ER calculation
