Jbel Sendouq-Khalladi (“Khalladi”) wind farm project in Morocco
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified The project uses an investment test and the monitoring report cites ACM0002 methodology version 12.3, which supports a formal additionality and baseline framework.
missing The monitoring report lists 12 findings and 10 corrective actions, and reversal events are not addressed; buffer pool information is also not found in the extracted record.
Transparency
verified The monitoring period is clearly stated as 2018-07-01 to 2020-06-30, and the VVB is named as 4K Earth Science Private. Limited.
missing Total ERs claimed and verified are not stated, usage monitoring is not described, and the extraction record includes a low-confidence-style gap in several key quantitative fields.
Claim Safety
verified The project is a wind farm under ACM0002, which is generally a lower-risk renewable category for over-crediting than many land-use projects.
missing Leakage is only described as negligible, with no deduction percentage or supporting calculation, and the project is CORSIA-eligible while CCP status is not stated.
Documentation
verified The record draws on multiple document types, including a PDD, validation report, monitoring report, and appendix, with 16 documents used overall.
missing The monitoring report is dated 2024-02-05 while the crediting-period dates conflict with a later validation report, and the large number of corrective actions indicates incomplete or problematic documentation.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The project has a formal additionality basis through an investment test, and the methodology is identified as ACM0002 version 12.3, which is a positive sign for baseline structure. However, the monitoring report lists 12 findings and 10 corrective actions, reversal events are not addressed, and no buffer pool information is found in the extracted record, all of which weaken confidence in permanence and implementation quality.
Transparency
The monitoring period is clearly stated and the VVB is identified, which helps traceability. That said, total ERs claimed and verified are not stated, usage monitoring is not described, and the record does not provide a quantified FNRB or other key public-facing MRV details, so transparency is only moderate.
Claim Safety
As a wind project under a standard methodology, the project is in a relatively lower-risk category for over-crediting than many other project types. Still, leakage is only described as negligible without a deduction percentage, and the project is marked CORSIA-eligible while CCP status is not stated, leaving some residual claim-safety uncertainty.
Documentation
The evidence base is reasonably broad, with 16 documents used and references to a PDD, validation report, monitoring report, and appendix. Even so, the monitoring report shows many corrective actions, and the crediting-period dates conflict with the later validation report; I privileged the later validation report for the crediting-period update because it is more recent, but the inconsistency itself lowers documentation reliability.
Overall
I privileged the later validation report where it conflicts with the monitoring report on crediting-period dates and on whether additionality was VVB-confirmed, because it is more recent and appears to be the higher-priority assurance document. Even so, the contradiction on additionality is material: the older validation report says it was confirmed, while the later one says it was not, so I treat the record as unreliable on that point and score downward. The leakage contradiction is less severe because the monitoring report at least provides a negligible-leakage rationale, but the absence of a quantified deduction still weakens confidence.
Audit Analysis
This is a wind project with a recognized additionality test and a VVB-reviewed monitoring package, but the record shows several unresolved issues and many corrective actions. The biggest concerns are the contradiction on whether additionality was actually verified by the VVB, the conflicting crediting-period dates, and the lack of quantified leakage or buffer-pool information.
Project Description
Developer: ACWA Khalladi Type: Other Size: Large Scale Methodology: ACM0002 Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources Crediting period: 2014-05-01 → 2026-04-30 Estimated annual credits: 220239 tCO2e SDGs: Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, Goal 13: Climate Action
Red Flags
- The documents conflict on whether additionality was VVB-confirmed, and the later validation report is the one that says it was not.
- There are 10 corrective actions and 12 findings listed in the monitoring report, which suggests material documentation or implementation issues.
- Leakage is only described as negligible, with no quantified deduction or supporting method stated.
- The project is marked CORSIA-eligible, but CCP status is not stated, leaving some dual-claim uncertainty.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a reconciled assurance note that resolves the additionality and crediting-period contradictions across the validation and monitoring documents.
- Publish quantified leakage treatment, buffer-pool or reversal-risk handling, and clear ER issuance/verification totals for the monitoring period.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
