Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard wind power project in Gansu, China, with VVB-confirmed investment additionality and no reversal risk inherent to the technology. The project delivered approximately 73% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2024 monitoring period, indicating conservative crediting. Minor documentation gaps and a project-specific baseline (rather than jurisdictional) temper an otherwise solid profile.

Red Flags

  • Baseline method contradiction: the PDD (2014) describes a jurisdictional baseline while the 2023 verification report characterises it as project-specific; the more recent verification report is privileged, but the discrepancy weakens baseline robustness
  • Leakage justification inconsistency: an earlier verification report (March 2023) states leakage was 'not addressed' while the August 2023 report says it was 'quantified'; the 0% deduction is reasonable for wind but the documentation trail is inconsistent
  • Two material findings (CR#1, CR#2) regarding meter identification and net electricity monitoring clarity remain as corrective actions in the verification report
