Analysis

A small-scale solar lighting substitution project in Namibia with confirmed additionality and matching claimed/verified ERR figures, but undermined by a 71% drop in the assumed usage rate versus the PDD, a halved crediting period, seven corrective action requests including data-integrity mismatches in household sampling, and the absence of any buffer pool or permanence mechanism. The project delivered roughly 87% of its pro-rata expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, which is acceptable but leaves little margin given the documentation weaknesses.
