Small Scale Wind Power Project in Kutch District

Audit Analysis

A small-scale wind power project in Kutch, Gujarat, using a standardized methodology (AMS-I.D v18) with a jurisdictional baseline and a 0.9 tCO2/MWh grid emission factor. The project design is internally consistent and leakage treatment is reasonable for a grid-connected wind installation, but the evidentiary record is extremely thin: only a single PDD is available, no verification or monitoring reports exist, and additionality assessment is entirely absent from the extracted record. The project cannot be considered verified or credibly monitored at this stage.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No additionality test type or VVB verification of additionality found in the PDD — a fundamental requirement for any carbon credit project is unaddressed in the available record
• ⚠Only one document (the PDD) is available; no verification report, monitoring report, or VVB identification exists, making it impossible to confirm that the project has been independently verified or is generating credits
• ⚠The PDD is dated 18 October 2023, which post-dates the project start date of 25 February 2022, raising questions about the sequencing of project approval and implementation
• ⚠No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented, and no reversal events are reported — the absence of both is ambiguous for a renewable energy project
