Solar Home Systems In Lagos - Tranche 1

Audit Analysis

This VCS solar home system project in Lagos has a confirmed additionality assessment and no permanence risk (avoidance project), but suffers from significant data contradictions between the PDD and validation report—particularly a 53% discrepancy in lifetime ERR and a conflicting grid emission factor. No monitoring or verification data is available, and the low extraction confidence further limits confidence in the extracted record. The project-specific baseline and 0% leakage deduction, while not uncommon for this project type, are compounded by contradictory justifications across documents.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Lifetime ERR differs by 53% between the PDD (124,271 tCO₂e) and the validation report (57,947 tCO₂e), indicating a major revision that is not fully explained in the extracted record
• ⚠Grid emission factor contradicts between documents: 1.22 tCO₂/MWh in the PDD versus 0.567 tCO₂/MWh in the validation report, a 54% difference that materially affects credit volume
• ⚠Baseline method is stated as 'project-specific' in the validation report but 'jurisdictional' in the PDD, creating ambiguity about the robustness of the baseline
• ⚠No monitoring report or verification report is present in the evidence set; total verified ERR and monitoring period are not available
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
