# Can captive solar credits under AM0123 carry the CCP label yet?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/captive-renewable-am0123-ccp-status

Not yet. ICVCM's table lists AM0123, renewable energy generation for captive use, v1.0, under both Gold Standard and Verra's VCS, assessed by a multistakeholder working group with no decision shown. Until it is CCP-Approved its credits cannot carry the label. Grid-connected AMS-I.D and ACM0002 credits were found not to meet the CCPs.

## Where AM0123 sits

ICVCM files it with grid-connected renewable energy. It is being assessed by a multistakeholder working group, the same route that produced "Does not meet" for the older grid methods, and no outcome is shown yet.

## The neighbours already decided

- ACM0002 v1.0 to 21.0 and AMS-I.D v1.0 to 18.0, grid renewable power: Does not meet.
- AMS-I.A v1.0 to 19.0, electricity generation by the user: Does not meet.
- AMS-I.L v1.0 to 4.0, rural electrification by renewables: Does not meet.
- AMS-I.C v1.0 to 22.0, thermal energy with or without electricity: no decision shown.
- VMR0017 v1.0, Verra's revised grid renewable method: CCP-Approved.

## What to do meanwhile

- Do not price a credit sale on a CCP label you do not have.
- Meter generation and own use separately from day one; any methodology will want both.
- Decide early whether the solar's attribute goes to your own Scope 2 claim or to a credit buyer. It cannot go to both.
- Recheck the table before you sign any offtake.

## What Senseible does here

Senseible reads your electricity bills and does not treat net-metered units as consumption, so captive solar shows up as lower grid purchases in your Scope 2 records. It gives carbon credit eligibility signals but does not label or sell credits.
