Fixed confusing wording about EAC eligibility in 2025 Standard to align with intended meaning, which is compatible with Green-e and GHGP guidelines.
Original: "Vintages of all EACs used to make market adjustments must match the emissions year or the certification year. For example, when considering 2024 Scope 2 emissions, EACs must have a vintage of 2024 or 2025."
Correction: "Vintages of all EACs used to make market adjustments must fall within the three years up to and including the certification year. For example, when pursuing certification in 2025, EACs must have a vintage of 2023, 2024, or 2025."
