Combined cycle electricity generation activity at Gurgaon, India

Audit Analysis
A CDM combined-cycle power project in Gurgaon, India, validated by DNV with a confirmed investment additionality test, but the validation report carried three corrective action requests covering benchmark justification, monitoring plan completeness, and baseline calculation methodology. The extracted record contains a ten-fold discrepancy in the claimed emission reduction figure between the PDD and the validation report, and no monitoring-period data, verified ERR, or buffer pool information was found in the available documents.
Red Flags
- Ten-fold discrepancy in total ERR between the PDD (412,110 tCO2e) and the validation report (41,211 tCO2e), indicating a probable transcription error but raising data-reliability concerns
- Three corrective action requests (CARs) were raised at validation covering benchmark selection, monitoring plan QA/QC, and baseline grid-vs-captive-power calculation, meaning the project was not validated without conditions
- Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' without a quantitative or methodological explanation in the available documents
