Grid connected 25 MW PV solar power project at Charanka in Gujarat
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified The verification report confirms additionality through an investment test, and the VVB is identified as GALAXY CERTIFICATION SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED.
missing Leakage is described as not addressed, buffer pool coverage is not stated, and reversal risk is not addressed in the extracted record.
Transparency
verified The monitoring period and verified emissions reductions are stated, and the project has a named VVB and registry record.
missing The monitoring report has multiple completeness issues, including missing metering diagrams, incomplete calibration details, and inconsistent date formatting.
Claim Safety
verified The project uses ACM0002 for a grid-connected renewable project, and the verified emissions reductions equal the claimed amount in the latest record.
missing Contradictions show earlier documents reported 29,887 tCO2e while later records show 151,131 tCO2e, creating over-crediting and reliability concerns.
Documentation
verified There are many extracted documents and the record includes a recent issuance document dated 2025-12-03.
missing Extraction confidence is only medium, and the monitoring report required several corrections, including missing single-line diagrams and incomplete technical specifications.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The verification report supports additionality through an investment test, and additionality was confirmed by the VVB. The project is a renewable solar installation under ACM0002, which is generally favorable, but leakage is marked as not addressed and there is no buffer pool information or reversal treatment in the extracted record. No material findings were reported, yet the absence of key permanence and leakage details limits confidence.
Transparency
Transparency is mixed: the record identifies the VVB, monitoring period, methodology, and verified emissions reductions, which helps traceability. At the same time, the monitoring report was flagged for missing feeder-wise metering diagrams, incomplete calibration details, incomplete monitoring-system description, and inconsistent date formatting. The lack of a stated usage monitoring method and missing baseline reassessment timing further reduce openness.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is moderate because the project is a grid-connected renewable energy activity under a standard methodology, and the latest extracted record shows claimed and verified emissions reductions matching at 151,131. However, the contradiction log shows earlier documents with 29,887 tCO2e for both claimed and verified reductions, so the higher-priority later issuance record was privileged because it is more recent and appears to reflect the final issuance position. Leakage treatment is weak, and the absence of CCP and CORSIA status keeps dual-claim risk unresolved rather than clearly low.
Documentation
Documentation quality is limited by several missing or incomplete items in the monitoring report, including the single-line diagram, commissioning date, calibration details, and monitoring-system description. The extraction confidence is medium rather than high, and the record contains a long list of corrective actions required. Although there are 17 documents used and a recent issuance document dated 2025-12-03, the overall file quality is uneven.
Overall
Overall, I privileged the later issuance-era figures for emissions reductions and crediting period because they are more recent than the earlier verification-era values and likely reflect the final project record. The contradictions on total emissions reductions and crediting period are material, though, and they lower confidence in the file. The project looks fundamentally viable as a registered renewable energy asset, but the weak leakage treatment, missing permanence details, and documentation gaps keep the score in the middle range.
Audit Analysis
This is a registered VCS solar project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no material findings reported, which supports the core project case. However, the documentation has several gaps and inconsistencies, including missing baseline reassessment timing, no buffer pool information, leakage marked as not addressed, and contradictory crediting-period and ER figures across documents.
Project Description
Proponent: GMR Gujarat Solar Power Private Limited Protocol categories: Energy industries (renewable/non-renewable sources) Protocols: ACM0002 Estimated annual GHG reductions: 34462 tCO2e Region: Asia Registration date: 2021-03-11
Red Flags
- Leakage is marked as not addressed, even though the project type and methodology would normally require a clear treatment.
- The documents contain contradictions on credited emissions reductions and the crediting period, which weakens reliability.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a complete, internally consistent monitoring report with metering diagrams, calibration records, commissioning dates, and a clear data-flow description.
- Clarify leakage, permanence, and double-claim safeguards by documenting buffer treatment or reversal handling, and by stating CCP/CORSIA status and any anti-double-counting undertaking.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
