9.75 MW wind power project in Southern India

Audit Analysis

A 9.75 MW CDM wind project in Southern India with a standard jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality, but the validation report flagged 17 material findings covering PDD calculation errors, methodology version validity, and grid emission factor inconsistencies. No monitoring-period data or verified emission reductions are available in the extracted record, and the low extraction confidence further limits the evidentiary base. The project's claims appear conservative (PLF below regulatory minimum), but the absence of verified performance data and the volume of validation-stage issues temper confidence in overall credit quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠17 material findings in the validation report, including methodology version validity mismatch (AMS I.D v15 valid 30 Oct 2009 – 10 Jun 2010, yet baseline completed 9 Feb 2009), multiple worksheet calculation errors across three sub-projects, and grid emission factor calculation not aligned with the latest CDM tool
• ⚠No monitoring-period data or verified emission reductions found in any available document; the 141,130 tCO2 figure is an ex-ante claim with no verified counterpart
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and the full evidentiary picture may be incomplete
• ⚠Contradiction in additionality test type: the 2012 validation report records an investment test, while an earlier (2007) document references a barrier test, suggesting the additionality argument was restructured between drafting and validation
