Datang Delingha Renewable Power Co., Ltd. Delingha 10MW Grid-connected Photovoltaic Power Project

Audit Analysis

A straightforward 10 MW grid-connected solar PV project under the CDM registry with a jurisdictional baseline and consistent claimed/verified emission reductions of 99,827 tCO₂e over a 7-year crediting period. The main weakness is that additionality assessment details were not captured in the extracted record despite a validation report being present, and no buffer pool or permanence mechanism is documented. Two minor administrative corrective actions were identified and resolved, and no contradictions exist between documents.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record; the validation report is listed as a source but the specific additionality methodology (investment, regulatory, or barrier test) could not be confirmed.
• ⚠No buffer pool or permanence safeguard is documented; while reversal risk is low for a physical solar asset, the absence of any permanence mechanism is a gap under CDM rules.
• ⚠The monitoring report is dated 2019-11-26 yet covers a 7-year period through 2026-07-31, raising a question about whether this is a full-period ex-ante verification or a first-period report mislabeled.
