300 MW Solar PV Plant by SBSR Power Cleantech in Rajasthan

Audit Analysis

A 300 MW solar PV project in Rajasthan with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional baseline, but undermined by eight cross-document contradictions (including baseline method, leakage treatment, and ERR figures), a 0% leakage deduction with no justification in the most recent verification report, and a notable absence of verified ERR and monitoring methodology details. The project is fundamentally low-risk in design (avoidance-type renewable energy), yet the documentation inconsistencies and data gaps prevent a higher confidence rating.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eight contradictions across documents, including baseline method (project vs jurisdictional), leakage justification (not addressed vs quantified), and ERR figures (636,343 vs 549,062), indicating inconsistent record-keeping
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% with justification described as 'not addressed' in the 2024 verification report, despite the 2020 monitoring report claiming it was quantified
• ⚠Verified ERR figure is not stated in any available document, preventing independent cross-check of claimed credits
• ⚠Seven Corrective Action Requests (CARs) raised during verification, though listed as resolved
• ⚠FPIC status contradicts between the 2020 monitoring report (not conducted) and the 2023 validation report (conducted)
