Bundled Wind Power Project in Tamil Nadu, India, Co-ordinated by Tamil Nadu Spinning Mills Association(TASMA-V1)

Audit Analysis
A long-running (since 2006) bundled wind power project under VCS with a confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but the verification record is marred by 11 material findings, over 20 corrective actions, a seven-year gap between the monitoring period and the verification report, and a low extraction confidence rating. The core methodology (ACM0002) is well-established for wind, and the ERR figures for the 2015–2016 period are internally consistent, but the volume of unresolved documentation issues and the absence of FPIC temper confidence in the project's overall rigour.
Red Flags
- 11 material findings and 20+ corrective actions remain open in the 2023 verification report, including unresolved meter calibration issues and the application of a 'twice the maximum allowable error' adjustment method
- Seven-year gap between the monitoring period (Jan 2015 – Mar 2016) and the verification report date (Dec 2023), raising questions about data currency and audit trail
- Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) was not conducted, despite the project's long operational history in a community setting
- Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning key data points may be missing or misread
- Crediting period end date is not stated in any available document, leaving the project's remaining validity unclear
