Analysis

A VCS renewable-energy avoidance project (solar PV, India) with a sound jurisdictional baseline and VVB-verified investment additionality test, delivering approximately 99% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the latest monitoring period. However, the verification cycle surfaced an unusually large volume of material findings and eight corrective action requests, reflecting significant MRV and documentation quality issues that were ultimately resolved. Key data gaps remain around FNRB, CORSIA/CCP eligibility, and FPIC.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction
