Audit Analysis
A standard CDM wind project (ACM0002) with VVB-confirmed additionality and an appropriate jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project is free of reversal risk and leakage concerns typical of grid-connected wind, but several verification data points (verified ERR, FNRB, usage monitoring) are absent from the extracted record, and four inter-document contradictions—though largely explainable—warrant caution.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is characterised as 'project' in the 2021 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2011 validation report; the jurisdictional reading is consistent with ACM0002 and is privileged, but the discrepancy reduces confidence in data consistency.
- Total ERR claimed differs between the 2015 monitoring report (301,760) and the 2021 monitoring report (362,234); while likely reflecting different reporting periods, the absence of a verified ERR figure prevents independent reconciliation.
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed.
