8 MW wind power plant by K.S Oils Limited

Audit Analysis

A straightforward 8 MW wind displacement project in India validated by SGS UK with a confirmed investment additionality test, but the available record is thin: no monitoring-period data, no verified ERR, and a low extraction confidence flag. A contradiction between the PDD and the validation report on baseline method (jurisdictional vs. project-specific) introduces uncertainty into the baseline, and four resolved CARs at validation reveal initial documentation weaknesses. The project is a completed CDM registration (2009–2016) with limited post-validation evidence in the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method contradiction: the PDD (June 2010) describes a jurisdictional baseline while the validation report (September 2010) records a project-specific baseline; the VVB's assessment is privileged but the discrepancy weakens baseline confidence.
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set means at least one key document was poorly readable, limiting the reliability of the extracted facts.
• ⚠No monitoring-period data or verified ERR figure is present in the extracted record, so actual delivery against the 89,747 tCO₂e lifetime claim cannot be assessed.
• ⚠CAR 05 flagged an incorrect ex-ante emission-factor calculation approach (resolved by switching to a 3-year weighted average), indicating the initial PDD baseline arithmetic was flawed.
