Installation Of Solar Milling Plants for Household In Zambia, Project- 2

Audit Analysis

A VCS-registered solar milling project in Zambia with VVB-verified additionality and low inherent reversal risk, but significant documentation weaknesses including nine material findings at validation, no verified emission reduction data, assumed (not measured) usage rates, and a project-specific baseline. The low extraction confidence and absence of any monitoring-period data limit confidence in the project's ongoing performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No verified emission reduction figure is available in any document; only the lifetime claimed total of 150,710 tCO2e is recorded, making over- or under-delivery impossible to assess
• ⚠Nine material findings and eleven corrective actions were raised at validation, including missing commissioning dates, incomplete stakeholder consultation records, and a methodology switch from AMS-I.F to AMS-I.B that required re-justification
• ⚠Usage rate of 6 (presumed hours/day) is assumed rather than measured, and the monitoring method is described as 'assumed' in the validation report, creating a gap between claimed and actual energy displacement
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which undermines confidence in the extracted data set
