Datang Yan’an Renewable Power Co., Ltd. Ansai Wangjiawan Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project in China validated in 2019 with a jurisdictional grid baseline and negligible leakage, but the available record is limited to the PDD and validation report with no monitoring or verification data. A significant seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD (486,514 tCO2e) and the validation report (69,502 tCO2e) raises material concerns about the accuracy of the ex-ante estimate, and key MRV parameters remain unconfirmed in the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven-fold discrepancy in ex-ante emissions reduction: the PDD (2019-07-23) states 486,514 tCO2e while the validation report (2019-07-25) states 69,502 tCO2e; the validation report figure is privileged as the VVB's authoritative assessment, but the magnitude of the gap warrants scrutiny of which figure was used for credit issuance
• ⚠No monitoring report or verification report is present in the extracted record despite the project being mid-crediting period (2019–2026), and the verified ERR figure is identical to the claimed figure, suggesting no independent monitoring verification has been documented
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving the additionality basis unconfirmed despite the project having been validated
