22 MW Solar Power Project by HZL at Rampura agucha Mine, Rajasthan

Audit Analysis

A 22 MW solar project in Rajasthan registered under CDM with a combined additionality test confirmed by Applus+ Certification and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project is methodologically sound (ACM0002 v19.0) and uses smart-meter monitoring, but the verified ERR figure is absent from the extracted record, the claimed ERR differs by roughly 16% between the validation and monitoring reports, and the initial validation surfaced eleven material documentation gaps that required corrective action.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Total ERR claimed is 46,304 in the monitoring report (Dec 2020) but only 40,012 in the validation report (Oct 2019) — a 15.7% increase with no stated explanation in the extracted record.
• ⚠Verified ERR figure is not present in any available document, preventing independent confirmation of actual emission reductions delivered.
• ⚠Eleven material findings at validation (missing IRR sheets, absent stakeholder-consultation records, incomplete additionality supporting documents) indicate the initial submission was substantially incomplete.
• ⚠Leakage justification is inconsistent: the PDD (Sep 2019) describes leakage as 'quantified' while the monitoring report (Dec 2020) labels it 'deemed negligible' with a 0% deduction.
