Audit Analysis
A straightforward 8 MW grid-connected wind project in India with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality, but the verification process surfaced over 30 material findings and corrective actions, many relating to meter calibration delays, missing generation data snapshots, and monitoring report inconsistencies. The project delivered roughly 80% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the four-year monitoring period, which is within normal wind variability. Fundamental carbon integrity is sound for a renewable energy project, but documentation and monitoring rigor are weak.
Red Flags
- Over 30 material findings reported in the verification report, including delayed meter calibration for Bundle II (March 2013 to December 2013, and December 2014 to March 2016) with an ad-hoc 0.2% error factor applied
- JMRs (Joint Meter Reading Reports) supporting net electricity supplied to the grid were not made available to the verification team for the full monitoring period
- Grid emission factors in the monitoring report did not align with the recent CEA version 2, raising questions about the accuracy of the 0.92975 tCO2/MWh figure used
- Location numbers for all 7 wind turbines observed during the site visit did not match the approved PDD
- Snapshot copies of generation data for the last day of each month were not submitted, citing practical difficulties
