CGN Inner Mongolia Huitengliang 300MW Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 300 MW onshore wind project in Inner Mongolia under CDM with a jurisdictional baseline and a standard methodology (ACM0002 v19.0). The core design is sound for a wind project, but the extracted record has significant gaps: additionality test details are absent, the ERR figures in the PDD and validation report differ by a factor of seven (likely a lifetime-vs-single-period basis difference), and extraction confidence is low. No material findings or corrective actions were reported, and leakage treatment is appropriate for the sector.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠ERR figures differ by ~7× between the PDD (4,762,996 tCO₂e) and the validation report (680,428 tCO₂e); while likely a lifetime-vs-annual basis difference, the discrepancy is not explicitly reconciled in the available documents.
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving a gap in a core CDM requirement.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, and one of the four source documents is listed as 'unknown', reducing reliability of the data set.
