Audit Analysis

A standard 8.35 MW grid-connected wind project under AMS.I.D with a verified investment-test additionality and a jurisdictional grid emission factor baseline. The verified ERR (75,948 tCO2) closely matches the claimed figure (76,644 tCO2, 99.1%), but the project carries 17 corrective actions, missing key documents (PPA, no-double-counting declaration, technical specifications), and inconsistent leakage and safeguards reporting across documents, which collectively moderate confidence in the overall record.

Red Flags

  • 17 corrective actions required in the 2020 verification report, including missing PPA, no-double-counting declaration, technical specifications, and local stakeholder consultation documents
  • Leakage justification is inconsistent: the 2020 monitoring report states 'deemed negligible' while the 2020 verification report records it as 'not addressed'
  • Baseline method is contradictory across documents: the 2012 verification report records 'project' while the 2020 monitoring report records 'jurisdictional'
  • No buffer pool percentage stated and permanence/reversal risk explicitly not addressed in available documents
  • FPIC not conducted and local stakeholder consultation documents listed as missing in corrective actions
