Renewable Wind Power Project by Axis Wind Farms (Rayallaseema) Pvt. Ltd.
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was confirmed by the VVB, and the project uses an investment test under ACM0002.
missing Leakage justification is not addressed in the extracted record, and the reversal treatment is only described as not applicable rather than explicitly closed out.
Transparency
verified The project has a named VVB and a defined monitoring period from 2022-10-01 to 2023-09-30.
missing Verified and claimed emission reduction totals are not stated in the extracted record, and the extraction confidence is low.
Claim Safety
verified The project is an avoidance project under VCS with VVB-confirmed additionality, which supports claim credibility.
missing Leakage treatment is unclear, and the project is marked CORSIA-eligible while CCP status is not stated, leaving some market-claim ambiguity.
Documentation
verified A relatively large document set was used, with 37 documents extracted into the record.
missing Low extraction confidence and multiple corrective actions/clarifications reduce confidence in completeness and readability.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The verification evidence supports additionality because the VVB confirmed it, and the project uses an investment test under ACM0002. Permanence risk is limited for a wind avoidance project, and the record says reversal events are not applicable, but the extracted record does not clearly show a buffer pool or a fully resolved reversal treatment. Leakage is a weakness because the record says it is not addressed, even though another document in the contradiction list says it was deemed negligible.
Transparency
The project has a named verifier, LGAI Technological Center (Applus+ Certification), and a clear monitoring period from 2022-10-01 to 2023-09-30. However, the extracted record does not state the verified or claimed emission reduction totals, and several operational details such as usage monitoring are not found. The low extraction confidence also suggests at least one key source was difficult to read, which lowers transparency.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is moderate because this is a VCS renewable electricity project with VVB-confirmed additionality, which generally lowers over-crediting risk. That said, leakage is not addressed in the extracted record, and the project is marked CORSIA-eligible while CCP status is not stated, so the market-claim picture is incomplete. The contradiction on leakage also weakens confidence in the conservativeness of the claim.
Documentation
The record draws on many documents, but the extraction confidence is low, which means at least one important source was poorly readable. Multiple corrective actions and clarifications were raised, even if they were reportedly closed, showing that the documentation required non-trivial follow-up. Benefit sharing and safeguards are mentioned, but some details remain inconsistent across documents.
Overall
Overall, this is a reasonably credible renewable energy project, but the evidence base is not clean enough for a high score. I privileged the more conservative values where documents conflicted: I treated leakage as not addressed rather than deemed negligible, additionality as an investment test because it appears in the more recent extracted record, reversal risk as not fully addressed, and benefit sharing as present because the later record says it is described. The low extraction confidence and the presence of several closed corrective actions reduce reliability, and the unresolved contradiction on leakage is the main quality concern.
Audit Analysis
This is a registered VCS wind project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal risk in the usual sense for an avoidance project. However, several key items are either not stated or contradictory across documents, especially leakage treatment, benefit-sharing, and the type of additionality test used, which weakens confidence in the claims.
Project Description
The project involves the installation and operation of a Wind Farm. The total installed capacity of the project is 105 MW and is located at Andhra Pradesh state in India. The project is a new facility and the electricity generated by the project will be exported to the Indian electricity grid. The project will therefore displace an equivalent amount of electricity which would have otherwise been generated by fossil fuel dominant electricity grid. Before this project the entire electricity, delivered to the grid, would have otherwise been generated by the operation of other grid-connected power plants which mainly use fossil fuels. The project shall result in replacing anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) estimated to be approximately 198,183 tCO2e per year, thereon displacing 211,554 MWh/year amount of electricity from the gird over the 10 years crediting period.
Red Flags
- Leakage is not addressed in the extracted record, despite a contradiction with another document that says it was deemed negligible.
- The documentation set has low extraction confidence and multiple corrective actions/clarifications were raised, indicating some reporting and review issues.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a clear, document-backed leakage assessment and reconcile the contradiction with the document that says leakage was deemed negligible.
- Publish the verified and claimed emission reduction totals, plus a clearer explanation of baseline reassessment and any market-claim status such as CCP treatment.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
