Bundled Grid Connected 2.9 M.W. Wind Power Project In India By Kamal Engineering Corporation [Unit Of Kec Industries Ltd]

Audit Analysis

A 2.9 MW wind power avoidance project in India with a fundamentally sound design (jurisdictional baseline, VVB-confirmed investment additionality, no inherent reversal risk), but severely undermined by nine material findings in the verification report, eight required corrective actions, a large discrepancy between initially claimed and finally verified emission reductions (16,200 vs 5,479 tCO₂), and a 'Late to verify' registry status indicating ongoing compliance difficulties. Safeguards documentation is absent, and multiple contradictions across documents reduce confidence in the data record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Registry status is 'Late to verify', indicating the project is not meeting its verification schedule obligations
• ⚠Nine material findings in the verification report, including monitoring-period overlap with a prior period, incorrect grid-supply values, missing calibration certificates, and unexplained differences between estimated and actual emission reductions
• ⚠Final verified ERR (5,479 tCO₂) is only 36% of the initially verified figure (15,200 tCO₂) from the earlier verification report, suggesting the original monitoring was substantially flawed
• ⚠No FPIC conducted, no grievance mechanism in place, and safeguards not mentioned in the validation report
• ⚠Seven contradictions across documents, including conflicting baseline methods (jurisdictional vs project-specific) and conflicting additionality test types (investment vs combined)
