Wind energy project in different locations of India

Audit Analysis

This multi-site Indian wind energy project (VCS-1526) is a registered VCS project with VVB-verified additionality and a jurisdictional baseline, but it suffers from a severe 81.6% installed-capacity reduction (119.55 MW to 22.05 MW) and delivered only about 49% of its revised ex-ante emission-reduction estimate for the monitoring period. Multiple material findings, four corrective-action requests, and significant documentation gaps in the monitoring report undermine confidence in the project's operational integrity, even though the under-delivery profile limits over-crediting risk.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Installed capacity reduced by 81.6% (119.55 MW to 22.05 MW) due to WTG shutdowns and sales, constituting a major project-description deviation
• ⚠Verified ERR of 122,290 tCO2e is only ~9% of the pro-rata expectation derived from the original PDD lifetime estimate of 2,686,880 tCO2e, and ~49% of the revised ex-ante estimate of 247,634 tCO2e for the monitoring period
• ⚠Four corrective-action requests were raised covering project identification, VER estimation, and monitoring, plus additional VVB requirements for MR traceability and deviation assessment
• ⚠ERR sheet traceability is incomplete: total net generation cannot be traced to individual WTG generators
