Cecic Gansu Yumen Changma No.3 Wind Farm Project

Integrity

The project applies ACM0002 for grid-connected wind and additionality is confirmed by the VVB via an investment test (validation report). The baseline is project-specific and the timing of any baseline reassessment is not stated in the extracted record, which weakens robustness for a long crediting period. Leakage is applied as a 0% deduction, but the latest monitoring report (2024) does not address leakage, creating uncertainty about whether leakage was properly evaluated. No material findings are reported, but the presence of multiple corrective action requests in the monitoring report (2024) suggests monitoring/quantification weaknesses that can affect integrity.

Transparency

Key project attributes are disclosed, including the VVB (CTI Certification Co., Ltd.) and the monitoring period (2022-01-01 to 2023-04-30) in the monitoring report (2024). However, the monitoring report (2024) includes corrective actions requesting additional monitoring parameter information (e.g., electricity generation/export parameters) and clarification of deviations, indicating that the MRV narrative and parameter reporting were not fully complete at submission. In addition, inconsistencies across documents in ER totals and grid emission factor reduce transparency because users cannot easily reconcile the public record.

Claim Safety

The project is marked as not CORSIA-eligible in the extracted record, which lowers the risk of high-impact aviation claims. Nonetheless, claim safety is constrained by over-crediting risk signals: the grid emission factor differs between validation reports (0.918 in 2021 vs 0.779325 in 2024), and ER totals vary substantially across documents, both of which can materially change credited volumes. CCP status is not stated in the extracted record, leaving uncertainty about alignment with higher-integrity claim frameworks.

Documentation

The extracted record indicates broad documentation coverage (27 documents) including PDD, monitoring report, validation report, issuance, and high extraction confidence. However, the monitoring report (2024-05-20) contains multiple corrective action requests to supplement sustainable development contribution tables/evidence and to provide/clarify monitoring parameters and deviations, implying documentation incompleteness at the monitoring stage. Buffer pool and reversal information are not stated in the extracted record (less relevant for an avoidance wind project, but still a completeness gap).

Overall

Overall quality is moderate: VVB-confirmed additionality and a standard renewable methodology support credibility, but repeated inconsistencies across official documents reduce confidence in the quantification. For contradictions, the more recent documents were privileged where they reflect updated determinations (e.g., using the 2024 validation report value for the grid emission factor and the 2024 monitoring report for safeguards/grievance/FPIC disclosures), but the existence of conflicting earlier reports still indicates record instability and warrants score reductions. For ER totals, the higher 2024/2021-era figures were not assumed to be correct; instead, the contradiction itself was treated as a reliability risk because the extracted record does not provide a single reconciled issuance/verification figure. The crediting period inconsistency (2011 vs 2021 start) was treated conservatively as an eligibility/vintage clarity risk until reconciled by registry or the latest governing document.
