Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm
CT-355
Score Breakdown
Integrity
inferred Project is renewable energy (avoidance), but baseline/additionality/leakage treatment is not found in the extracted record
missing No verification/monitoring evidence available to substantiate emissions impact or rule out over-crediting
Transparency
missing No VVB, monitoring period, or MRV details found in the extracted record
missing Registry/public-data completeness cannot be assessed because no evidence documents were captured
Claim Safety
missing CORSIA/CCP status and double-claim controls are not found in the extracted record
inferred Without baseline and grid factor details, over-crediting risk cannot be bounded
Documentation
missing Zero documents captured/used in extraction (no PDD, monitoring report, or verification report available in the extracted record)
missing Minimum extraction confidence is low, reducing reliability of any missing/partial information
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
No project design, baseline approach, additionality assessment, leakage treatment, or permanence controls are available in the extracted record because no evidence documents were captured. As a result, it is not possible to confirm whether the project is additional, whether the baseline is appropriate for South Africa’s grid context, or whether any leakage was assessed. With no verification or monitoring reports available, the integrity of any claimed impact cannot be substantiated.
Transparency
The extracted record contains no monitoring period, no verifier information, and no quantified results, so MRV transparency cannot be evaluated. Because no documents were captured, there is also no way to check whether registry fields are complete or whether reported figures reconcile across documents. Low extraction confidence further increases the likelihood that key transparency elements are missing.
Claim Safety
No information is available on eligibility or quality labels (such as CORSIA eligibility or CCP status), and no controls against double claiming are evidenced in the extracted record. Baseline and grid emissions factor details are not found, so the risk of over-crediting cannot be bounded. Given the absence of primary documentation, marketing or corporate claims based on these credits would carry elevated greenwashing risk.
Documentation
No evidence documents were captured (0 documents used), so the record lacks the minimum set typically needed (project description, monitoring report, and independent verification). The minimum extraction confidence is low, indicating at least one key source was poorly readable and increasing the chance of missing critical information. This warrants a very low documentation score and low confidence in any assessment.
Overall
There are no listed contradictions, but this is largely because no underlying documents were captured to cross-check values. With zero documents and low extraction confidence, the assessment is dominated by evidence gaps rather than confirmed strengths or weaknesses. Note: under the gate rules, a documentation score below 3.0 would cap transparency post-scoring.
Audit Analysis
The extracted record contains no usable project documentation beyond basic metadata, so core quality checks (baseline, additionality, leakage, and MRV) cannot be substantiated. Given the low extraction confidence and zero documents captured, this project should be treated as high uncertainty and high over-crediting/greenwashing risk until primary documents are reviewed.
Project Description
Jeffreys Bay is a 138MW onshore wind farm located in the Eastern Cape province in South Africa. The plant produces 450GWh of green energy from its 60 wind turbines. The project was commissioned in 2014.
Red Flags
- No project documents were captured in the extracted record (0 documents), preventing verification of baseline, additionality, and monitoring claims
- Low extraction confidence indicates at least one key document was poorly readable, increasing the risk of missing or incorrect facts
Credit Vintages
Nessuna emissione registrata sul registro.
Il marketplace dichiara i vintage: 2022 (non verificato).
Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide and extract the core document set (I-REC project registration, monitoring reports, and independent verification/assurance statements) with readable scans to raise extraction confidence
- Disclose baseline/grid emissions factor approach, monitoring period and metering/QA procedures, and any statements on double-claim prevention (e.g., CORSIA/CCP status and registry retirement evidence)
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
Risk Indicators
No additionality assessment found
Avoidance project, but no evidence of controls
No leakage treatment found
Baseline method not found
No safeguards evidence found
CORSIA/CCP status not found
