Bundled project on distribution of solar energy lamps and replacement of Incandescent Light Bulbs (ICLs) with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) by Green Village Ventures in different households in Barshi, Maharashtra, India

Audit Analysis

A CDM household energy-efficiency project (solar lamps and CFLs) with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, but significant gaps in verified monitoring data, a project-specific baseline, and a thin 0% leakage justification. The absence of any monitoring reports or verified ERR figures over the full 10-year crediting period, combined with corrective actions addressing double-counting risk and baseline survey quality, limits confidence in the claimed 714,584 tCO2e.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified ERR data available for the entire 10-year crediting period (2012–2022); total_err_verified is not stated in any available document
• ⚠Corrective action requires submission of an agreement letter to prevent double counting between the manufacturer and GVVPL, indicating a potential dual-issuance risk was identified during validation
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis in the available documents
• ⚠Three corrective actions were required at validation (double-counting prevention, third-party baseline survey assessment, fee confirmation), suggesting material weaknesses in the initial submission
