50.4 MW wind power project by EN Renewable Energy Pvt. Ltd

Audit Analysis

A 50.4 MW wind power project in India under CDM with an investment additionality test and a reputable VVB (TÜV SÜD), but the record is marred by three material administrative findings, three inter-document contradictions (leakage justification, ERR figures, and baseline method), and several key fields not stated in available documents. The project is inherently low-risk on permanence as an avoidance-type wind project, and the monitoring-period ERR of 216,117 tCO₂e represents roughly 75% of the pro-rata lifetime expectation, indicating conservative delivery. Overall a mid-range project with documentation quality concerns that temper confidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Three material findings in the monitoring report: host country listed as Spain instead of India, methodology applicability criteria not aligned with version 20, and flow diagram misidentifying the grid as Southern Grid
• ⚠Contradiction on baseline method: the validation report (Sep 2020) states a jurisdictional baseline while the monitoring report (Feb 2021) describes a project-specific baseline
• ⚠Leakage justification is inconsistent across documents — the PDD (Nov 2020) deems leakage negligible while the monitoring report (Feb 2021) states it was quantified, yet the deduction is 0%
• ⚠Total verified ERR for the monitoring period is not stated in the extracted record; only the claimed figure of 216,117 tCO₂e is available
