Audit Analysis
A 40 MW bundled solar project in Telangana, India, verified under VCS methodology ACM0002 v19.0 with a confirmed investment-test additionality assessment and no material findings. The verified emissions reductions (154,169 tCO₂ for the 2021–2022 monitoring period) match the claimed figure exactly, and the 0% leakage deduction is appropriate for a grid-connected solar project. However, several contradictions across documents (baseline method, additionality test type, crediting period) and a number of unreported fields (CORSIA/CCP status, buffer pool, FPIC) limit confidence in the overall data quality.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is recorded as 'project' in the verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the monitoring report — an unresolved discrepancy that affects baseline robustness
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
- Corrective actions were required: meter calibration details missing from the monitoring report and incomplete project status description in Section 3.1
- Crediting period differs by one month between the verification report (Dec 2017 – Dec 2027) and the PDD (Jan 2018 – Jan 2028)
