Audit Analysis
A 10 MW solar PV project in Mauritius displacing grid electricity, verified under CDM with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality. The project delivered roughly 92% of its pro-rata expectation for the first monitoring period, but five corrective action requests—particularly the use of an expired standardized baseline and a DC-vs-AC capacity discrepancy—raise moderate concerns about the robustness of the credit quantity. Documentation is adequate but shows quality-control weaknesses that were flagged and presumably resolved before issuance.
Red Flags
- Corrective Action Request (CAR 04) flagged use of an expired standardized baseline (ASB0019) rather than current grid emission factor data from CEB, undermining baseline currency
- Corrective Action Request (CAR 01) identified discrepancies in project capacity (DC vs AC) and PLF values, which directly affect the credit quantity calculation
- No grievance mechanism or FPIC process is documented in the available record, leaving community-safeguard coverage unverified
