Clean Energy Generation in Gujarat, India

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind project in Gujarat with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a standard jurisdictional grid baseline, but the validation process surfaced 13 corrective action requests and 8 comments, several of which questioned the transparency of the investment analysis and baseline calculations. No monitoring-period data or verified emission reductions are available in the extracted record, and the overall extraction confidence is low, limiting the ability to confirm actual performance against the 234,360 tCO₂e lifetime claim.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠13 corrective action requests (CARs) raised during validation, including CAR 7 (PDD did not follow the latest Additionality Tool), CAR 8 (benchmark and investment analysis transparency questioned), CAR 10 (baseline emission calculation and grid EF derivation not transparent), and CAR 11 (ex-ante reduction calculation not transparently presented)
• ⚠No monitoring-period data or verified emission-reduction figure is available in the extracted record, so actual performance against the 234,360 tCO₂e claim cannot be confirmed
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable and the structured data may be incomplete
• ⚠Contradiction on leakage treatment: the validation report (Oct 2012) states leakage was 'deemed negligible' while an earlier appendix (Mar 2011) describes it as 'quantified'
