Audit Analysis
The Akhfennir Wind Farm is a CDM-registered wind project in Morocco with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project delivered roughly 78% of its pro-rata expected reductions in the first monitoring period, and the validation process surfaced 24 corrective actions (all addressed) plus two minor outstanding items. Several key transparency fields (FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status) are not stated in the available documents, limiting full assessment.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor of 0.7005 tCO2/MWh is anchored to 2008 data; if Morocco's grid has decarbonised since, the baseline may overstate actual reductions
- 24 corrective actions were raised during validation, including financial calculation errors and sensitivity-analysis parameter adjustments to reach the benchmark rate, indicating the initial PDD required substantial revision
- Two corrective actions remain open (PDD template version and EGfacility,y accuracy class/calibration frequency), suggesting minor documentation gaps persist
