Audit Analysis
A 33 MW CDM wind project in Karnataka, India, with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional grid baseline. The project is fundamentally sound in design, but the monitoring reports reveal significant under-delivery relative to ex-ante estimates (up to 48.74% lower), reflecting the inherent variability of wind generation. Multiple corrective actions were required at validation, and several key transparency fields (FNRB, CORSIA eligibility, CCP status) remain unreported.
Red Flags
- Verified emission reductions were 48.74% below ex-ante PDD estimates in one monitoring period and 38.10% below in another, indicating the original capacity estimates were overly optimistic
- Grid emission factor of 0.93204 tCO2/MWh is sourced from 2006 data and has not been updated in any available document
- Crediting period in the PDD (2007–2017) differs from the period stated in the 2021 monitoring report (2010–2020), suggesting a re-registration or extension that is not clearly documented in the extracted record
- Meter calibration delays and non-conformance with the registered PDD calibration frequency were flagged as material findings
