Audit Analysis
A CDM wind power project in Maharashtra with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction, but undermined by multiple material findings on monitoring plan accuracy, a contradiction in baseline method between the validation and monitoring reports, and the absence of verified ERR figures. The project's safeguards documentation is thin, with no FPIC or grievance mechanism on record.
Red Flags
- Material findings reveal the registered monitoring plan did not match actual site conditions: meters are located at the MSEDCL sub-station rather than the project site, and the data source was a Credit Report rather than direct MSEDCL readings
- Contradiction in baseline method: the 2007 validation report describes a jurisdictional baseline while the 2021 monitoring report describes a project-specific baseline
- Two different total ERR figures (70,262 and 11,570) appear in the same 2021 monitoring report without clear reconciliation
- No FPIC or grievance mechanism documentation found in any available record
- Grid emission factor of 0.92 is ex-ante (2007) and was flagged in material findings as not ex-post
