Energy for Mam Rashan

Audit Analysis

Energy for Mam Rashan is a micro-scale renewable electrification project in Iraq with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a reasonable grid emission factor baseline. However, the project carries significant operational risk signals: seven material findings, multiple corrective action requests, no buffer pool, unaddressed reversal risk, and seven inter-document contradictions that undermine data reliability. The low extraction confidence and absence of a verified ERR figure further limit confidence in the claimed 730 tCO₂e for the first monitoring period.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven material findings and at least eleven corrective action requests reported in the 2026 verification report, including repeated plant maintenance interruptions and supply disruptions that reduced emission reductions below estimates
• ⚠No buffer pool percentage stated and reversal events explicitly 'not addressed' in the verification report, leaving permanence risk unmitigated
• ⚠Seven contradictions across documents, including conflicting leakage justifications ('deemed negligible' vs 'quantified'), conflicting additionality test types (investment vs combined), and conflicting safeguards documentation
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the entire evidence base
• ⚠Total ERR verified figure is not stated in the extracted record; only the claimed 730 tCO₂e from the monitoring report is available, preventing independent verification of the credit quantity
