Audit Analysis

A 25 MW grid-connected solar PV project in Gujarat with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed additionality, but limited by the absence of any monitoring reports, four unresolved corrective action requests from the validation, and low document extraction confidence. The ERR figures in the PDD and validation report are reconcilable (annual vs. lifetime) but the discrepancy is a documentation weakness. Overall a structurally sound avoidance project with meaningful gaps in ongoing verification evidence.

Red Flags

  • Four material findings (CARs) in the validation report: legal name change evidence, PDD inconsistencies in methodology version and baseline calculations, missing parties in Section A.4, and missing correlation between EGfacility,y and EGPJ,y
  • No monitoring reports or MRV data available in the extracted record; only the validation report and PDD are present
  • Minimum extraction confidence rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
  • ERR figure discrepancy: PDD states 240,923 tCO2e while the validation report states 34,418 tCO2e (reconcilable as lifetime vs. annual, but not explicitly clarified in the documents)
