Beijing Energy Huolinhe B First Phase 49.5MW Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in Inner Mongolia validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 v17.0 by BVI, with a jurisdictional baseline using the 2016 China national grid emission factor. The project is structurally sound for a wind credit, but the extracted record lacks explicit additionality documentation, verified monitoring data, and safeguards detail, and contains a reporting inconsistency in the ERR figures that, while arithmetically reconcilable, reduces confidence in data reliability.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠ERR figures differ by a factor of 7 between the PDD (724,689 tCO2e) and the validation report (103,527 tCO2e); although 103,527 × 7 = 724,689 suggests an annual-vs-lifetime reporting difference, both documents label the value as 'total ERR claimed', creating ambiguity about the actual crediting basis.
• ⚠No monitoring or verification reports were found in the extracted record; total verified ERR is not stated, so actual delivery against the ex-ante estimate cannot be assessed.
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted data, leaving the additionality assessment unconfirmed despite the project having passed validation.
• ⚠Late submission of the crediting-period renewal notification (beyond the 180-day deadline) was flagged as a material finding, affecting CER issuance eligibility for the initial period.
