Audit Analysis

The Lingasugur Wind Power Project is a standard wind energy avoidance project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The 2024 monitoring period delivered only 17% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation, indicating very conservative crediting. However, seven cross-document contradictions—including on FPIC status, benefit sharing, and baseline classification—undermine confidence in the consistency of the project record.

Red Flags

  • Seven contradictions across documents, including conflicting FPIC status (verification report: conducted; PDD: not conducted) and conflicting benefit-sharing descriptions
  • Leakage justification is stated as 'not addressed' in the verification report while the monitoring report claims it was 'quantified'—the basis for the 0% deduction is unclear
  • One outstanding FAR (FAR#1) requires a physical site visit at the next verification, indicating a prior gap in on-site verification
  • CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not mentioned, creating potential dual-channel allocation risk
