Cristal II Wind Farms

Audit Analysis

Cristal II Wind Farms is a CDM-registered wind project in Brazil using the standard ACM0002 methodology with a jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality. However, the extracted record contains no verified monitoring data, a low extraction confidence rating, 14 corrective actions from validation, and three cross-document contradictions that reduce confidence in the reported figures. The project's fundamental design is sound, but the absence of any post-registration performance data and the documentation gaps limit the ability to confirm that claimed credits were actually delivered.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verified monitoring data or monitoring period found in any available document — actual energy generation and credit issuance cannot be confirmed against the ex-ante estimate.
• ⚠Three cross-document contradictions (ERR figures, additionality test type, crediting period dates) indicate inconsistencies between the PDD and the validation report that were not fully resolved in the extracted record.
• ⚠14 corrective actions and 1 follow-up action were required at validation, including missing evidence for energy generation, plant load factor, asset lifetime, and sensitivity analysis — suggesting the initial additionality and baseline documentation was incomplete.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and the structured data may be incomplete or inaccurate.
