Audit Analysis
A 94 MW solar PV project in Thailand registered under CDM (ACM0002) with a well-known VVB (Perry Johnson). The project delivered approximately 80% of its pro-rata lifetime expectation for the 17-month monitoring period, indicating conservative ex-ante estimates. Key concerns include a contradiction in baseline methodology between the verification and monitoring reports, and the absence of explicit VVB confirmation of the additionality test.
Red Flags
- Baseline methodology is contradictory: the verification report (2015-09-22) describes a 'project' baseline while the monitoring report (2015-03-09) references a 'jurisdictional' baseline, creating ambiguity about which approach was actually applied.
- Additionality was assessed via a combined test, but the verification report does not explicitly confirm VVB verification of the additionality determination, leaving a gap in the audit trail.
- Grid emission factor is from 2009 (0.5554 tCO2/MWh); while within CDM rules, it is the oldest available reference year and may not reflect current grid mix.
