Audit Analysis

A 10 MW solar PV project in Gujarat, India, verified under Gold Standard with VVB-confirmed additionality and a recent (2025) verification report. However, significant data gaps and contradictions—particularly around leakage treatment, baseline method, and ERR figures—limit confidence in the credit's robustness. The project is an avoidance-type with low inherent permanence risk, but the absence of a verified ERR figure and a properly justified 0% leakage deduction are material concerns.

Red Flags

  • Leakage deduction of 0% is contradicted between documents: the verification report (Feb 2025) states leakage was 'not addressed' while the monitoring report (Feb 2025) claims it was 'deemed negligible'—no quantified justification is provided in either
  • Total ERR claimed differs by ~23% between the monitoring report (43,046 tCO₂e) and a 2021 appendix (52,837.78 tCO₂e), with no verified ERR figure available to resolve the discrepancy
  • Baseline method is inconsistent: the verification report classifies it as project-specific while the monitoring report calls it jurisdictional, and no FNRB value or method is stated in any document
