Audit Analysis
A 51 MW wind power project in India using the standard ACM0002 methodology, with VVB-confirmed additionality and no permanence risk. The project is under-delivering relative to its PDD estimate (55.5% of expected ER for the comparable period), which is conservative. However, significant documentation quality issues—including the verification report mislabeling the project as 'solar' in multiple sections and a long list of corrective actions—undermine confidence in the reporting chain.
Red Flags
- The joint validation and verification report incorrectly referred to the project as a 'solar project' in multiple sections, raising concerns about copy-paste errors and document control
- Twelve or more corrective actions were required, including inconsistencies between ER values in the monitoring report and the ER sheet, missing calibration certificates, and inconsistent monitoring parameters
- The project delivered only 55.5% of the PDD-estimated ER for the comparable period, attributed to low wind and machine downtime, suggesting the PDD overestimated output
- Baseline method is described as 'project' in the 2019 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2024 monitoring report, creating ambiguity about the baseline approach
