5X0.8 MW Wind Power Project by Texmo Industries

Audit Analysis

A 4 MW CDM wind project in India with a verified investment-test additionality and jurisdictional baseline, but undermined by seven material findings in the monitoring report—including two turbines wheeling power to the owner's factory rather than the grid as registered—and an unresolved contradiction in the reported emission reduction figures. The project's operational deviation from its PDD and the absence of a buffer pool or verified ERR figure limit confidence in the integrity and safety of the claims.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Two wind turbines (HTSC 1689 and 1707) are wheeling generated power to the project participant's manufacturing plant instead of exporting to the grid as stated in the registered PDD, constituting an operational deviation from the approved project design.
• ⚠The monitoring report (2022-07-06) contains two different total ERR values (6,481 and 44,652) within the same document, creating an unresolved contradiction that undermines confidence in the reported emission reductions.
• ⚠Seven material findings were raised in the monitoring report, including unsupported technical lifetime of the turbines, missing host-country approval for validation, and an unrealistic crediting-period start date, yet no corrective actions are recorded as required.
