Audit Analysis

A grid-connected solar PV project in China with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and no reversal risk, but undermined by a site-visit delay exceeding three years, multiple material findings on double-counting and meter calibration, and several contradictions across documents (baseline method, grid emission factor, crediting period). The project appears to be over-delivering relative to its ex-ante estimate, which is a positive signal, but data gaps on fnrb, CORSIA eligibility, and the age of the grid emission factor (2013) limit confidence in the claims.

Red Flags

  • Site visit delay exceeding 3 years; emission reductions from 01/02/2017 to 16/07/2019 cannot be claimed (corrective action CAR 01 in the verification report)
  • Material finding CL 01: demonstration of no double counting of GS VERs not clarified in the MR section
  • Grid emission factor of 0.858 tCO2/MWh is based on 2013 data, which may not reflect current grid conditions
  • Contradiction in baseline method: the PDD (2014) states a jurisdictional baseline while the verification report (2022) states a project-specific baseline
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document
