Ratings Assessment
Ratings Assessment is designed by The Carbon Rating Agency (CRA) for clients who want a focused analysis in one or two aspects of the project, e.g. a more focussed performance estimate, a detailed analysis of registration risk or a broader view of a technology/sector/region.
The ratings assessment constitutes a detailed evaluation of projects’ fundamentals combined with expert judgement of the agency’s specialists.
The basic CRA analysis is extended to include relevant topics requested by the client. A site visit may be required or requested by the client.
