Global Sun PV Solar Power Plants I

Audit Analysis

A CDM solar PV project in Israel with a VVB-verified investment additionality test and a reasonable zero-leakage justification for grid-displacement, but severely limited by the complete absence of monitoring reports, verified emissions data, and any post-validation documentation. Three contradictions between the PDD and the validation report on baseline method, additionality test type, and leakage treatment introduce data-reliability concerns that temper confidence in the project's design assumptions.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified ERR figures are available in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the 646,846 tCO2e lifetime claim
• ⚠Three contradictions between the PDD (Nov 2010) and the validation report (Dec 2010) on baseline method (project vs jurisdictional), additionality test type (investment vs combined), and leakage treatment (deemed negligible vs quantified) indicate inconsistent project documentation
• ⚠Four material findings at validation, including pending Letters of Approval from all parties and unverified financial and generation parameters, were noted in the validation report
• ⚠Grid emission factor of 0.771 tCO2/MWh is dated to 2008 with no evidence of update or reassessment during the 2012–2022 crediting period
