Audit Analysis
A 49.5 MW wind project in Pakistan with a solid additionality assessment (combined test, VVB-verified) and an appropriate jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The most recent verification cycle (2023) shows full consistency between claimed and verified ERs, but an earlier 2022 report reveals a large gap between claimed (453,091) and verified (65,308) ERs that raises over-crediting concerns. Safeguards documentation improved over time, and the project is explicitly not CORSIA-eligible, reducing double-claiming risk.
Red Flags
- 2022 verification report shows 453,091 ERs claimed versus only 65,308 verified — a 7:1 gap that may indicate over-claiming or a mismatch between cumulative and per-period bases; the 2023 report (77,293 = 77,293) is consistent but does not resolve the earlier discrepancy.
- FPIC status is contradictory across documents: the 2015 verification report states FPIC was not conducted, while the 2023 monitoring report states it was. The more recent 2023 record is privileged, but the inconsistency weakens confidence in the safeguards narrative.
- Baseline method is described as 'project' in the 2014 validation report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2023 monitoring report. The more recent and methodologically appropriate 'jurisdictional' label is privileged, but the discrepancy suggests the baseline characterisation was not consistently documented.
