Verra expands project review prioritisation pilot to include registration requests

Verra will expand its project review prioritisation pilot from 14 October 2026, allowing projects to pay for faster review of registration, verification, or combined registration and verification requests. Previously, the pilot was only open to projects submitting a second or subsequent verification approval request. Fees for prioritisation range from $15,000 to $30,000, depending on the request type and project standard, plus a deposit towards the anticipated issuance fee, capped at $50,000. Verra states that revenue from these fees will be reinvested to reduce processing times for all projects. The pilot will run until at least March 2027.
