Audit Analysis
A VCS-registered wind energy project in India with VVB-verified investment additionality and inherent low permanence risk (avoidance type), but undermined by multiple cross-document contradictions, a regressed leakage justification, calibration gaps flagged in the latest verification, and CORSIA eligibility creating dual-channel exposure. The project under-delivered by roughly 26% relative to its ex-ante estimate in 2024, which is conservative for claim safety but signals operational variability.
Red Flags
- Leakage justification regressed from 'quantified' (2021 verification) to 'not addressed' (2025 verification) while the deduction remains 0%, weakening the basis for the zero deduction
- Calibration gap for Samana main/check meters covering 01/06/2024–31/12/2024 identified as a material finding in the latest verification report
- CORSIA eligibility confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating potential dual-channel crediting risk
- Grid emission factor of 0.9346 tCO2/MWh is drawn from 2011 data, over a decade old at the time of the 2025 verification
- Multiple contradictions across documents (FPIC, baseline method, additionality test type, reversal events) reduce confidence in the extracted record
