8.3 MW Wind Electricity Generation Project by Parakh Agro Industries Limited in Dhule, Maharashtra

Audit Analysis

A straightforward 8.3 MW wind energy project under the well-established AMS-I.D methodology with VVB-confirmed additionality, but the verification record is marred by five material findings, eight corrective actions, and nine contradictions between the 2010 and 2025 verification reports. Data quality issues around parameter discrepancies, methodology version inconsistencies (v14 vs v17 vs v18), and calibration gaps significantly undermine confidence in the reported 90,089 tCO₂e. The project is not CORSIA-eligible and presents no reversal risk, but the documentation and data integrity concerns limit its overall quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Five material findings in the 2025 verification report, including discrepancies in ex-ante vs monitored parameters (grid EF, capacity factor, net energy) and methodology version inconsistencies (v14 vs v17 vs v18)
• ⚠Eight corrective actions required, including missing calibration certificates, incorrect generation data for two 1.65 MW turbines, and excluded pre-2006 generation data
• ⚠Nine contradictions between the 2010 and 2025 verification reports spanning ERR figures, baseline method, safeguards, FPIC, grievance mechanism, and crediting period start date
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
