50.6 MW Wind Energy Project by Powerica Limited

Audit Analysis

A 50.6 MW wind project in India under Gold Standard with VVB-confirmed additionality (investment test) and a recent baseline reassessment (2024), but undermined by the absence of a buffer pool, unaddressed reversal risk, a 0% leakage deduction with no justification in the most recent verification report, and an extensive list of open corrective actions covering missing commission certificates, calibration records, and operational logs. Multiple contradictions across documents—particularly on CORSIA eligibility, baseline method, and leakage treatment—reduce confidence in the data record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No buffer pool is in place and reversal events are explicitly 'not addressed' in the 2026 verification report, leaving permanence risk unmitigated for a 5-year crediting period.
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% with the justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the most recent verification report (2026), despite an earlier report (2024) having deemed it negligible—this inconsistency weakens the leakage claim.
• ⚠The 2026 verification report lists up to 7 Corrective Action Requests, several still open, covering missing commission certificates, calibration records, monthly generation logs, and grievance register submissions—indicating significant MRV documentation gaps.
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility is stated as 'false' in the 2021 verification report but 'true' in the 2024 validation report, creating a dual-channel eligibility risk that is unresolved.
• ⚠Min extraction confidence is rated 'low', meaning at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted data.
