Audit Analysis
A VCS wind power project in India with a confirmed investment-test additionality and appropriate treatment of leakage for the project type. However, material findings (a formula error in the registered PDD) and corrective actions (inconsistent ER and electricity generation values) indicate data-quality weaknesses, and a contradiction in the stated baseline method (project-specific vs. jurisdictional) introduces uncertainty. The VVB did reduce the project's claimed ER by roughly 9.5%, which is a positive signal of independent scrutiny.
Red Flags
- Material finding: the formula in the registered PDD for net electricity generation was incorrect and had to be corrected in line with the JMR (verification report, 2023-08-04).
- Corrective actions required: ER and electricity generation values are inconsistent between the monitoring report and the ER sheet, and estimated values are internally inconsistent within the monitoring report.
- Baseline method contradiction: the verification report (2020-03-25) records a 'project' baseline while the monitoring report (2023-08-03) records a 'jurisdictional' baseline — the two documents disagree on a fundamental methodological choice.
- FPIC was not conducted, despite safeguards being mentioned and a grievance mechanism being in place.
