Green Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in India validated under the simplified AMS I.D methodology with a jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality. However, the available record is limited to validation-stage documents, a 10× discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and validation report raises over-crediting concerns, and ten corrective action requests at validation indicate significant initial PDD quality issues.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Emissions reduction figure differs by a factor of 10 between the PDD (161,280 tCO₂) and the validation report (16,128 tCO₂), creating material uncertainty about the true credit volume
• ⚠Ten corrective action requests were raised at validation, covering unclear baseline scenarios, missing monitoring plan details (meter accuracy, calibration, QA/QC), and misalignment with AMS I.D v17 requirements
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verification reports were found in the available document set, leaving actual performance unverified
• ⚠Leakage treatment is inconsistent: the validation report states 'deemed negligible' while a financial document references a 'quantified' approach
