What is the submission deadline for a retroactive project?
A retroactive project is one that has started operating before a Gold Standard stakeholder consultation has taken place.
ll VER projects must submit project documentation for Preliminary Review within 1 year of the project start date - failure to do this will mean a project is ineligible for VERs.
No submission deadline applies to GS CER projects.
