Audit Analysis
This Gold Standard energy-efficiency project in Uganda (displacing decentralized thermal energy) shows a moderate level of rigor but suffers from several evidence gaps: no VVB is named, no verified ERR figure is available, and the additionality rests on the weakest test type (common practice) without independent verification. A contradiction in claimed ERR between two monitoring reports (8,528 vs 18,614 tCO₂e) and a shift in the stated monitoring method from self-report to annual survey introduce data-reliability concerns that temper confidence in the credit volume.
Red Flags
- Claimed ERR differs by more than 2× between two monitoring reports (18,614 in April 2020 vs 8,528 in October 2020); the basis for the revision is not explained in the extracted record.
- Additionality relies solely on a common-practice test with no VVB confirmation recorded; this is the weakest additionality pathway under Gold Standard.
- No verification body name appears in any extracted document, making independent oversight unverifiable.
- Leakage is described as 'quantified' in the justification field, yet no actual deduction percentage is present in the record.
