Electricity generation from renewable sources – Windfarms Macacos, Juremas, Pedra Preta and Costa Branca

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind project in Brazil with a solid jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, but severely limited by the absence of any monitoring or verification reports and low extraction confidence across the available documents. The ERR figures in the PDD and validation report are consistent on an annual-versus-lifetime basis, and the 0% leakage deduction is reasonable for a grid-displacement wind project, but the lack of post-validation data prevents any assessment of actual delivery.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring or verification reports are present in the extracted record; actual credit delivery cannot be assessed
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
• ⚠One of the four evidence documents is classified as 'unknown' type, reducing confidence in the document set
• ⚠Three material findings in the validation report (fixed-parameter assessment, participant listing, no physical site visit) were noted, though no corrective actions were required
