Bundled Grid Connected 2.9 M.W. Wind Power Project In India By Kamal Engineering Corporation [Unit Of Kec Industries Ltd]
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was tested using an investment test and was confirmed by the VVB in the validation record.
missing Leakage treatment is inconsistent, and the monitoring report does not address it while the later validation report only says it was negligible.
Transparency
verified The project has multiple official documents available, including validation, monitoring, PDD, and issuance records, with a high extraction confidence.
missing The monitoring record shows corrective actions were needed for calibration frequency clarification and invoice-to-spreadsheet data transfer errors.
Claim Safety
missing The project is not CORSIA-eligible, but CCP status is not stated, so dual-market claim risk is not fully resolved.
missing The large discrepancy in verified emission reductions between validation documents weakens confidence in the volume of credits claimed.
Documentation
verified Several core documents were used, and the extraction confidence is high.
missing The monitoring report is dated 2010 while the crediting period extends to 2016, and the record contains multiple contradictions across documents.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The project shows some integrity support because the validation record confirms an investment-based additionality test and VVB verification. However, the monitoring report does not address leakage, and the later validation report only characterizes leakage as negligible, so the treatment is not consistently documented. No reversal events are reported, but buffer pool coverage is not found in the extracted record, which leaves permanence-related assurance incomplete.
Transparency
Transparency is moderate because the record includes a validation report, monitoring report, PDD, and issuance information, and extraction confidence is high. At the same time, the monitoring report notes corrective actions for calibration frequency clarification and data transfer errors from invoices to the spreadsheet, which weakens MRV clarity. The project is not CORSIA-eligible, but registry completeness around claim channels is limited because CCP status is not stated.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is weakened by the large contradiction in verified emission reductions: one validation report shows 251,000 while an earlier validation report shows 5,479. The project is not CORSIA-eligible, which reduces one type of dual-claim risk, but CCP status is not stated, so the broader claim picture remains incomplete. The baseline is project-based rather than standardized or jurisdictional, which is less robust for over-crediting control.
Documentation
Documentation is reasonably broad because multiple official documents were used, including validation, monitoring, PDD, and issuance records. Still, the monitoring report is relatively old compared with the full crediting period, and the record contains several contradictions on emission reductions, leakage, and safeguards. The presence of corrective actions and the absence of some key quantified fields, such as buffer pool coverage, also limit documentation strength.
Overall
The project has a credible starting point because additionality was VVB-confirmed, but the evidence base is weakened by contradictory documents and incomplete treatment of leakage and safeguards. I privileged the later validation report for the higher verified emission reduction figure because it is more recent and appears to reflect the final validation outcome, but the earlier lower figure still signals a material reliability issue. I also privileged the monitoring report for operational findings such as leakage not being addressed and corrective actions, because it is the direct source for implementation-level MRV details; these contradictions justify a downward adjustment in confidence and claim safety.
Audit Analysis
This is a wind avoidance project with VVB-verified additionality, but the record shows important reliability and claim-quality weaknesses. The biggest concerns are the large contradiction in verified emission reductions, leakage treatment that is inconsistent across documents, and weak safeguard documentation in the monitoring report.
Project Description
This carbon project is a small-scale Clean Development Mechanism renewable energy project with a maximum output capacity of 2.9 MW. It falls within the guidelines set by the Executive Board of UNFCCC for small-scale CDM-project activities under the Kyoto Protocol.
Red Flags
- Verified emission reductions conflict sharply across validation reports, with one document showing 251,000 and an earlier one showing 5,479; this raises reliability concerns.
- Leakage is described as not addressed in the monitoring report, while a later validation report says it was negligible, creating uncertainty about claim robustness.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a reconciled emissions statement that explains the discrepancy between the two validation figures and identifies the final verified issuance basis.
- Publish a complete leakage and safeguards package, including quantified leakage treatment, buffer or reversal protection details, and documented FPIC/grievance evidence.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
