Biomass based power generation project by Maharashtra Vidhyut Nigam Limited

Audit Analysis

A CDM biomass power generation project validated by TÜV NORD CERT with a confirmed investment-test additionality and a standard jurisdictional grid baseline. However, the validation report records 18 material findings spanning fuel mix, boiler efficiency, cost assumptions, and a methodology-version expiration issue, and no monitoring or verification data is available to confirm actual delivery. The low extraction confidence and absence of post-validation records limit confidence in the project's ongoing integrity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠18 material findings (CAR A1–B16 plus methodology-expiration issue) in the validation report indicate the initial PDD contained widespread calculation and description errors before VVB correction
• ⚠The applied methodology version (AMS I.D ver.17) was flagged by the EB as expired at the time of submission; the DOE argued the submission predated the expiration deadline, but this remains an unresolved governance concern
• ⚠No monitoring period, verified ERR, or verification report is present in the extracted record, so actual credit delivery cannot be confirmed
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set means at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted facts
