Wind Power Project at Rajkot, Gujarat

Integrity

The project has a positive integrity signal because the VVB, Earthood Services Private Limited, confirmed additionality through an investment test, and the baseline was last reassessed in 2021. That said, leakage is explicitly marked as not addressed, and reversal treatment is inconsistent: one field says reversal events are not applicable while another says they are not addressed. The verification also recorded multiple corrective and clarification requests, which reduces confidence in the robustness of the project claims.

Transparency

Transparency is mixed. The monitoring period is stated as 2023-07-01 to 2023-12-31, the project has a named verifier, and the issuance document is recent, but the extracted record does not provide claimed or verified ER totals, grid emission factor values, or a usage monitoring method. The absence of these core MRV details limits public traceability and makes it harder to assess the reported issuance.

Claim Safety

Claim safety is weakened by the lack of leakage treatment and by several contradictions across documents. The record shows CORSIA eligibility, but CCP status is not stated, so dual-market risk cannot be fully ruled out from the extracted facts alone. The baseline is a project baseline rather than a clearly standardized jurisdictional baseline, and the conflicting statements on additionality, FPIC, and crediting period increase over-crediting concern.

Documentation

Documentation quality is moderate at best. There are many extracted facts and a named VVB, but the extraction confidence is only medium and the evidence document list is not clearly populated beyond an unknown entry. The verification also raised multiple CARs and CLs, including issues with the MR template, schematic diagram, and project proponent details, which suggests documentation gaps even though the findings were reportedly closed.

Overall

Overall, this is a moderately credible avoidance project with some strong points, especially VVB-confirmed additionality and a recent verification cycle. However, the contradictions must be weighted carefully: I privileged the newer 2024 records over older 2013/2022 statements for additionality test type, FPIC, benefit sharing, leakage, reversal handling, and crediting period because they are more recent and appear to reflect the latest verification/issuance package. Even after privileging the newer records, the unresolved leakage treatment, inconsistent reversal language, and multiple verification findings keep the score below strong-quality territory.
