Audit Analysis
A 56 MW solar PV project in Rajasthan verified by RINA under Gold Standard ACM0002, delivering 97.6% of its pro-rata annual expectation. Additionality is confirmed via a combined test, and the avoidance-based design carries no reversal risk. However, contradictions between the verification and monitoring reports on baseline method and leakage treatment, combined with 16 corrective actions and a PDD containing typographical errors, moderate confidence in the overall record.
Red Flags
- Contradiction between verification report (baseline = project-specific) and monitoring report (baseline = jurisdictional) undermines confidence in the baseline construction
- Leakage justification is inconsistent: the verification report states 'quantified' while the monitoring report states 'deemed negligible', despite a 0% deduction in both
- PDD contained typographical errors (52 MW vs actual 56 MW; 433 Wp vs actual 330 Wp) that were only corrected post-registration
- 16 corrective actions were raised, including missing PPA, missing IRR/additionality supporting documents, and missing double-counting declaration
- Baseline emission factor database was outdated (v14 vs required v16) at time of verification
