Audit Analysis
A 4.8 MW wind power CDM project in India with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and jurisdictional baseline, but notable under-delivery (approximately 54% of pro-rata expectation) and a contradiction in how leakage was treated across documents. The project is structurally sound as an avoidance-type renewable energy credit, though several transparency fields remain unreported.
Red Flags
- The project delivered only ~54% of the pro-rata expected emissions reductions for the elapsed monitoring period (41,687 actual vs ~77,424 expected for 8 of 10 years), suggesting sustained underperformance relative to design assumptions
- Contradiction in leakage treatment: the 2021 monitoring report states leakage was 'deemed negligible' while a 2011 appendix describes it as 'quantified', creating ambiguity about whether a deduction was ever applied
- Total verified ERR figure is not stated in the extracted record, preventing independent confirmation of issued credits against the claimed 41,687
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
