Audit Analysis
A registered VCS wind power project (ACM0002) with VVB-confirmed investment additionality and inherent permanence advantages as an avoidance project. However, the project carries notable concerns: a 0% leakage deduction with no justification in the latest verification report, a grid emission factor frozen at 2009 values, a corrective action questioning additionality in light of over-delivery (~218% of pro-rata expectation), and seven data contradictions across documents. The low extraction confidence and multiple inconsistencies temper confidence in the overall data quality.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% with justification listed as 'not addressed' in the 2022 verification report, despite the 2013 report having stated it was 'deemed negligible' — the justification has effectively regressed
- Corrective action requires the project to supplement the impact of higher-than-expected emission reductions on additionality, indicating the VVB found the original additionality analysis incomplete
- Grid emission factor of 1.028 tCO2/MWh is from 2009, over 13 years old at the time of the 2022 verification, raising questions about baseline accuracy
- Verified emissions reductions (133,950 tCO2) are approximately 218% of the pro-rata expectation for the monitoring period, suggesting the baseline may have been overly conservative or the PDD estimate was inaccurate
- Seven contradictions identified across documents, including conflicting baseline method descriptions (project vs. jurisdictional) and inconsistent crediting period dates
