Audit Analysis
A 74 MW CDM wind project in Tamil Nadu with a solid VVB-verified investment additionality test and a jurisdictional Combined Margin baseline. Operational monitoring issues (meter calibration, accuracy class changes) were identified and resolved through 12 closed CARs, but the verified ERR figure is absent from the available record and the 2008 grid emission factor has not been updated. Overall a competent project with minor transparency gaps.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor of 0.927 tCO2/MWh is from 2008 (Combined Margin) and no baseline reassessment is documented; if India's grid has decarbonised since, credits may be overstated
- Total verified ERR figure is not found in any available document, preventing independent cross-check of claimed 672,588 tCO2
- 12 Corrective Action Requests were raised during monitoring (calibration frequency not followed, meter accuracy class changed from 0.5 to 0.2s), indicating MRV execution gaps even though all were closed
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
