China Resources Juxian Donghong Phase I Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project with a verified combined additionality test and jurisdictional grid baseline, but undermined by 13 material findings requiring corrective action (including IRR calculation and common-practice corrections), a significant discrepancy between the PDD and validation-report ERR figures, and low extraction confidence across the document set. The fundamental project design (wind displacing grid electricity) is low-risk, but the documentation and verification record show notable gaps.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The PDD (2012-03-28) reports a total claimed ERR of 711,018 tCO2e while the validation report (2012-04-16) reports 101,574 tCO2e — a 7× discrepancy that, while likely reflecting annual vs. 7-year crediting-period totals, was not reconciled in the extracted record and creates ambiguity about the true lifetime credit volume.
• ⚠Thirteen material findings and thirteen corrective actions were raised during validation, including corrections to the IRR calculation (CAR 7), common-practice analysis capacity range (CAR 9), and emission-reduction formulas (CAR 5), indicating the initial additionality and quantification case required substantial revision before approval.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the structured data used for this assessment.
