CSG EV Charger Premier Aggregation
#29of 115 in United States#491of 629 in Verra (VCS)#5of 8 in VM0038
Audit Analysis
The CSG EV Charger Premier Aggregation project is a registered VCS renewable-energy project with VVB-confirmed additionality, but it carries notable baseline uncertainty due to a grid emission factor contradiction (0 in the PDD versus 0.0088 in an appendix), a thin leakage justification, and two material findings at validation requiring PD revision. Safeguards documentation is weak, with no FPIC, no grievance mechanism per the validation report, and no benefit-sharing description confirmed by the VVB.
Red Flags
- Grid emission factor contradiction: the PDD states 0 while an appendix states 0.0088, creating uncertainty about the baseline calculation for avoided emissions
- Two material findings at validation required revision of the project design to meet VCS Standard and VM0038 requirements, including additional REC criteria detail for the methodology deviation
- No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, leaving no quantified safety margin against potential over-crediting
- Safeguards are weakly documented: FPIC not conducted, grievance mechanism absent per the validation report, and benefit sharing not confirmed by the VVB

No issuances recorded on the registry.
Risk Indicators
VVB-confirmed combined test
No buffer pool stated; energy project (lower risk)
0% deduction, 'deemed negligible' only
Project-specific; grid EF contradiction
No FPIC, no grievance mechanism, no benefit sharing per VVB
CORSIA not eligible; CCP status not stated
