Beijing Guanting Wind Power Project Phase II And Phase II Addition
Score Breakdown
Integrity
verified Additionality was confirmed by the VVB using an investment test in the validation report.
missing Leakage is marked as not addressed in the monitoring report, and no buffer pool or reversal protection is stated.
Transparency
verified The project has multiple official documents available, including validation, monitoring, PDD, and issuance records.
missing The monitoring report shows a large discrepancy between claimed and verified reductions, and the usage monitoring method is not stated.
Claim Safety
verified The project is an avoidance project under VCS, which reduces permanence concerns relative to removal projects.
missing The verified reductions are much lower than the claimed amount, and the leakage treatment is missing in the monitoring report.
Documentation
verified The record includes 23 documents and the extraction confidence is high.
missing Corrective actions were required for project start-date inconsistency and meter serial-number mismatches, reducing confidence in the evidence trail.
Detailed Analysis
Integrity
The validation report confirms additionality through an investment test and the VVB is named as LGAI Technological Center, S.A. (Applus+ Certification), which supports the project’s core eligibility case. However, the monitoring report states leakage is not addressed, the baseline is project-specific, and no baseline reassessment date is found, all of which weaken methodological robustness. The report also lists corrective actions for an inconsistent project start date and meter serial-number issues, which further reduces confidence in the integrity of the monitoring data.
Transparency
The project has a reasonably broad document set, including validation, monitoring, PDD, and issuance records, and the extraction confidence is high. Still, the monitoring report does not state the usage monitoring method, and the verified emissions reduction figure is much lower than the claimed amount. That gap, together with the meter-related corrective actions, suggests the public record is not fully clean or easy to reconcile.
Claim Safety
Claim safety is weakened by the large difference between claimed and verified reductions: 930,149 claimed versus 429,882 verified in the validation/monitoring record. The monitoring report also says leakage is not addressed, while the project is not CORSIA-eligible and CCP status is not stated, so there is no strong external quality signal to offset the over-claim risk. The project is an avoidance project, which helps on permanence, but it does not resolve the over-crediting concern.
Documentation
Documentation is fairly strong overall because 23 documents were used and the extraction confidence is high. The VVB is identified, the monitoring period is stated, and the project has both validation and monitoring records. However, the monitoring report required corrective actions for start-date and meter inconsistencies, which indicates some weaknesses in the underlying documentation trail.
Overall
I privileged the later monitoring report for operational facts such as leakage treatment, safeguards, and the corrected verified emissions figure, because it is more recent and reflects the latest reported status. I also privileged the validation report for the original additionality determination, since it is the document that formally assesses project eligibility. The main contradiction is the large emissions discrepancy between claimed and verified amounts; I treated the verified figure as more reliable and reduced claim-safety and integrity accordingly. The contradiction on leakage is also important: the validation report appears to have quantified it, but the later monitoring report says it is not addressed, so I scored conservatively and favored the more recent document.
Audit Analysis
The project has some strengths on paper, including VVB-confirmed additionality and a documented investment test, but there are meaningful concerns around leakage treatment, baseline clarity, and the large gap between claimed and verified emission reductions. The monitoring report also shows corrective actions for project start-date and meter serial-number inconsistencies, which lowers confidence in the reported results.
Project Description
The Beijing Guanting Wind Power Project Phase II and Phase II addition is a wind power project located on the northwest side of Beijing. It was developed by Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy Co., Ltd. and has been registered as a CDM project since 2011. The project began construction on December 23, 2009.
Red Flags
- The verified emission reductions are far below the amount claimed, with 429,882 verified versus 930,149 claimed, indicating a major over-claim risk.
- Leakage is not addressed in the monitoring report, and the project uses a project-specific baseline with no recent reassessment found.
- Corrective actions were required for an inconsistent project start date and meter serial-number issues, suggesting documentation and metering reliability problems.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio
- Provide a clear, quantified leakage assessment in the latest monitoring documentation and reconcile it with earlier reports.
- Publish a full reconciliation of claimed versus verified emission reductions, including meter calibration evidence and corrected serial-number records.
Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
