Datang Dongping Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

The Datang Dongping Wind Power Project is a CDM-registered wind facility in China validated by CTI, using a jurisdictional grid emission factor baseline appropriate for the technology. The primary concerns are the absence of explicit additionality test documentation in the extracted record and a discrepancy between the PDD lifetime estimate (561,379 tCO2) and the validation report figure (80,197 tCO2), which is most likely an annual-versus-lifetime reporting difference but reduces transparency. Leakage treatment and baseline methodology are sound for a wind project.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving the additionality assessment undocumented in available sources
• ⚠The PDD reports a total ERR of 561,379 tCO2 while the validation report reports 80,197 tCO2 for the same field; although likely an annual-vs-lifetime basis difference (561,379 ÷ 7 ≈ 80,197), the inconsistency is not explicitly reconciled in the documents
• ⚠No monitoring report is present in the evidence set, so verified performance data beyond the validation-stage estimate cannot be independently confirmed
