Badamsha 2 Wind Farm in Kazakhstan

Audit Analysis
The Badamsha 2 Wind Farm is a standard VCS renewable energy project with a jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality, but the verification report surfaced 11 material findings and 2 corrective actions that raise concerns about MRV data quality. The project delivered roughly 77% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, consistent with normal wind-resource variability. Low extraction confidence and multiple inter-document contradictions limit confidence in the overall record.
Red Flags
- 11 material findings (CL 01–CL 09, CAR 01–CAR 02) in the 2025 verification report, including incorrect electricity export values, missing turbine commissioning evidence, and geocoordinate discrepancies
- Minimum extraction confidence rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
- Six contradictions between the PDD (2019) and the verification/validation reports (2020–2025), including baseline method, additionality test type, crediting period dates, and leakage treatment
- Grid emission factor sourced from 2016 data; no evidence of a more recent jurisdictional EF update

Risk Indicators
VVB-confirmed common-practice test
Non-AFOLU; no reversal risk
0% deemed negligible; reasonable for wind
Jurisdictional grid EF from 2016; no update evidenced
FPIC and grievance mechanism present; benefit-sharing inconsistent across docs
CORSIA and CCP status not stated; dual-channel risk unassessed
