Audit Analysis
A 400 MW solar avoidance project in Bhadla, India, with a jurisdictional baseline, VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, and no reversal events. The project outperformed its assumed performance (verified PLF of 26.44% vs. assumed 24%), with emission reductions appropriately capped at the sensitivity upper bound. Numerous inter-document contradictions (11 identified) and a medium extraction confidence temper confidence in the data record, though all corrective actions were closed before submission.
Red Flags
- Eleven contradictions identified across documents, including a usage-rate assumption discrepancy (24% in the 2025 verification report vs. 28.08% in the January 2025 validation report) and a crediting-period mismatch (2019–2023 in the verification report vs. 2024–2028 in the PDD)
- Usage monitoring method is reported as 'smart meter' in the 2025 verification report but 'annual survey' in the December 2025 monitoring report, creating uncertainty about the actual MRV mechanism
- Observed PLF of 26.44% exceeded the sensitivity-analysis upper bound of 26.40%, triggering a cap on emission reductions and a corrective action requiring the project developer to re-evaluate the investment analysis if the trend continues
- CCP (CORSIA Carbon Credit Programme) status is not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel eligibility partially unresolved
