Audit Analysis
The Aussenkehr Solar project is a VCS-registered renewable energy project in Namibia with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional baseline, but it carries notable data-quality concerns including unresolved meter calibration issues, a 0% leakage deduction with no stated justification in the latest verification report, and multiple contradictions between monitoring and verification documents. The low extraction confidence across the document set further limits assurance on the completeness of the record.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction of 0% with justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the November 2025 verification report, contradicting the 2022 report which stated it was quantified
- Material finding: NamPower could not provide calibration certificates for meters during the monitoring period; a conservative accuracy-class factor was applied as a workaround
- Four corrective actions remain open, including a missing compliance declaration, an unexplained gap in the ER comparison sheet, and inconsistent February 2019 power-export data
- Baseline method is described as 'jurisdictional' in the 2025 monitoring report but as 'project' in the 2023 monitoring report, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline approach
- Minimum extraction confidence across the 33-document set is rated low, reducing assurance on the completeness of the extracted record
