Capricorn Ridge 4 Wind Farm

Audit Analysis
Capricorn Ridge 4 is a well-documented wind energy avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality (combined test) and a reasonable grid-emission-factor baseline. The 2020–2021 monitoring period delivered approximately 94% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation, indicating conservative crediting. Minor calculation errors and meter-calibration gaps were identified and corrected, but no material integrity concerns remain.
Red Flags
- Monitoring-period gaps exist between 2010 and 2014–2015 periods; the verification report required confirmation that no negative emission reductions arose from these gaps
- Baseline method is described as 'project' in the 2022 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2022 monitoring report — an internal inconsistency that weakens baseline clarity
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
