9.75 MW Bundled wind power project in Kerala, India

Audit Analysis

A 9.75 MW bundled wind project in Kerala under CDM AMS I.D. v18 with a 7-year crediting period. The project delivered approximately 62% of its pro-rata expected emissions reductions for the elapsed monitoring period, which is conservative. However, three material contradictions between the validation and monitoring reports (baseline method, leakage justification, and ERR figures), five corrective-action findings, and the absence of a confirmed VVB additionality verification limit confidence in the project's data integrity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Three contradictions between the validation report (2020) and monitoring report (2022) on baseline method, leakage justification, and total ERR figures undermine data reliability
• ⚠Five material findings requiring corrective action, including a missing baseline validity section (Section B.4) and an incorrect grid reference in the PDD
• ⚠Additionality test type is recorded as 'combined' but VVB confirmation of the test is not stated in the extracted record
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage is recorded, leaving permanence risk unquantified despite the absence of reported reversal events
