Analysis

A natural-gas combined-cycle power project in Tamil Nadu displacing grid electricity, verified by Applus+ Certification under VCS methodology AM0029 v03. Additionality is confirmed via an investment test and no material findings were reported, but the project-specific baseline, six corrective actions in the verification report, and the absence of a stated buffer pool or quantified leakage percentage introduce moderate integrity and documentation concerns. The verified ERR of 508,306 tCO₂e for the six-year monitoring period represents roughly 94% of the pro-rata ex-ante expectation, indicating reasonable delivery.
