Datang Ningxia Taiyangshan Phase II Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project in China with a jurisdictional baseline and appropriate leakage treatment, but significant data gaps in additionality documentation, no monitoring reports available, and a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions. Three material findings requiring corrective action, including incorrect baseline calculations, further erode confidence in the project's data integrity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven-fold discrepancy in total ERR: PDD (July 2019) states 524,097 tCO2e while the validation report (September 2019) states 74,871 tCO2e — a factor of ~7 difference that undermines data reliability
• ⚠Material finding CAR-1 identifies incorrect baseline emissions and emission reduction calculations for partial years 2019 and 2026, requiring corrective action
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verification reports found in the extracted record — actual credit delivery cannot be independently confirmed
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the available documents, leaving a critical gap in the additionality evidence chain
