Henrietta solar PV project

Audit Analysis

The Henrietta Solar PV project in Mauritius is a straightforward renewable energy project under VCS methodology ACM0002, with additionality confirmed by a reputable VVB (APPLUS+ Certification) and no reversal events. However, the project suffers from notable data-quality issues: multiple corrective actions were raised during verification, the leakage treatment is marked as 'not addressed' in the most recent verification report, and the additionality test type is not specified. The ERR discrepancy between the monitoring report (18,771 tCO2) and the verification report (21,790 tCO2) further undermines confidence in the monitoring data.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% with justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the 2026 verification report, while the earlier 2024 verification report stated it was 'quantified' — a regression in documentation quality
• ⚠ERR discrepancy: the monitoring report (Oct 2024) reported 18,771 tCO2 while the verification report (Jan 2026) verified 21,790 tCO2 — a 16% increase during verification is unusual and suggests the monitoring data contained undercounting errors
• ⚠Six or more corrective actions (CARs) were raised, including blank cells in the ER spreadsheet, inconsistent monitoring period dates, and use of an outdated MR template version
• ⚠Additionality test type is not stated in any available document, despite the VVB confirming additionality
