Audit Analysis
A grid-connected solar PV project in Senegal with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and consistent ERR figures for the 2024 monitoring period. However, the most recent verification report (September 2025) indicates the absence of FPIC, a grievance mechanism, benefit-sharing arrangements, and documented safeguards, and eight contradictions across documents—including four between two verification reports issued just 21 days apart—raise data-reliability concerns.
Red Flags
- The September 2025 verification report records no FPIC, no grievance mechanism, no benefit-sharing description, and no safeguards documentation, directly contradicting the August 2025 verification report on all four points
- Eight contradictions exist across the document set, including conflicting baseline methodology (project-specific vs. jurisdictional) and conflicting leakage justifications (quantified vs. deemed negligible) between the 2018 and 2025 verification reports
- A corrective action was raised for inconsistent monthly electricity export values in January, February, and May 2023 relative to the JMR reports
- Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, leaving the permanence risk-mitigation mechanism unconfirmed
