Generation of electricity from 3.3 MW installed capacity wind mills by Mission Biofuels India Private Limited (MBIPL), in Sangli District, Maharashtra, India

Audit Analysis

A small-scale CDM wind project (3.3 MW) in Maharashtra, India, verified by DNV with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project delivered roughly 69% of its pro-rata expectation in the first monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting, but seven material findings—including incomplete additionality evidence and metering gaps—temper confidence in the underlying data quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Material finding CAR #7: additionality arguments lacked appropriate evidence and financial calculations were incomplete, despite VVB sign-off
• ⚠Meters for parameters EGF13,S and EGF12,S were not available at the wind farm site, raising questions about the accuracy of generation data
• ⚠Only a monitoring report (2011) and validation report (2010) are in the evidence set; no verification report or post-2011 monitoring data is available
• ⚠Baseline method is described as 'project' in the validation report but 'jurisdictional' in the monitoring report, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline approach
