4.95 MW Bundled Wind Power Project in Theni, Tamilnadu, India

Audit Analysis

A 4.95 MW bundled wind project under CDM with a verified investment-test additionality and a standard jurisdictional grid baseline, but the validation report contains 15 material findings covering financial-analysis errors, cost inconsistencies, and tax-calculation mistakes that undermine confidence in the additionality analysis. No monitoring-period data, verified emission-reduction figures, or FNRB values are available in the extracted record, and the crediting period expired in March 2022. The project is a straightforward wind-displacement project with reasonable leakage treatment, but the documentation gaps and low extraction confidence limit the overall assessment.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠15 material findings in the validation report, including cost figures exceeding TNERC-recommended levels, inconsistent PLF assumptions between the two bundled companies, missing T&D loss data for one company, tax-calculation errors, and a benchmark calculation period that does not match the PDD narrative
• ⚠Contradiction in total claimed ERR: the validation report states 123,280 tCO₂e while a financial document lists 4,022 tCO₂e — the basis for the lower figure is unexplained
• ⚠No monitoring-period data, verified ERR figures, or FNRB values found in any available document; the crediting period (2012–2022) has expired with no post-verification record in the extracted set
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and some facts may be missing
