Audit Analysis

A 200 MW solar PV project in India with a verified investment-test additionality and jurisdictional baseline, but burdened by seven corrective action requests, a significant discrepancy between the validation report's 403,720 tCO2e and the monitoring report's 335,456 tCO2e, and low document extraction confidence. The project over-delivers relative to its PDD estimate (109%), and double counting from a prior VCS registration was ruled out, but the documentation quality and ERR figure inconsistency moderate confidence in the credit.

Red Flags

  • Seven Corrective Action Requests (CARs) raised during verification, including missing degradation factor in energy calculations, missing commissioning certificate, and PDD template non-compliance
  • ERR figure contradiction: validation report (Jan 2025) records 403,720 tCO2e while the monitoring report (Jul 2025) records 335,456 tCO2e verified — a 16% gap that must be reconciled before crediting
  • Low extraction confidence in the document analysis, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
  • Legal entity name changed from SB Energy to Adani Green during the crediting period, requiring name-change certification
  • CORSIA eligibility confirmed but CCP status not stated in available documents, leaving dual-channel allocation risk unresolved

Permanence

Avoidance project (solar PV); no reversal events reported

Leakage

0% deduction; deemed negligible — reasonable for solar PV

Baseline

Jurisdictional grid EF (0.9419, 2019); reassessed 2025

Safeguards

Grievance mechanism and benefit sharing present; FPIC not conducted

Double-claim

CORSIA-eligible; CCP status not stated; VCS history ruled out
