Bundled Grid Connected Wind Power Generation –Abi Energy Bundle 3

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in India with a sound fundamental design (jurisdictional baseline, VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, negligible leakage) but undermined by 13 material findings in the validation report, a ten-fold discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and validation report, and a low-confidence extraction record with no monitoring or verification reports available. The project's core claim is credible, but the documentation and data-reliability gaps limit confidence in the specific credit quantities.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Ten-fold discrepancy in total emissions reductions: the PDD (2011-12-04) states 187,010 tCO2e while the validation report (2011-12-05) states 18,701 tCO2e — a factor-of-10 difference that raises data-reliability concerns even if likely a typographical error.
• ⚠Thirteen material findings in the validation report, including an infeasible monitoring plan (CAR 07), incorrect IRR and depreciation calculations (CAR 05), emission-factor calculation inconsistencies (CAR 06), and an unrealistic crediting-period start date (CAR 09).
• ⚠No monitoring report, verification report, or monitoring period data found in the extracted record; the project's actual performance over its 2011–2021 crediting period cannot be assessed.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of all extracted figures.
