Guodian Ningxia Pingluo 10MWp Solar Photovoltaic Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 10 MWp solar PV project in Ningxia, China, registered under CDM with a confirmed investment-test additionality assessment by TÜV NORD CERT. The project's methodology (AMS-I.D) is standardised and the leakage treatment (deemed negligible) is appropriate for grid-displacement solar, but the project-specific baseline, 11 material findings at validation, and the complete absence of any verified monitoring data limit confidence in the claimed 97,573 tCO₂e.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eleven material findings and eleven corrective actions were raised at validation, spanning IRR traceability, sensitivity analysis, VAT justification, and PDD inconsistencies — indicating a weak initial documentation package
• ⚠No verified or monitored ERR data is available in the extracted record; the 97,573 tCO₂e figure is an ex-ante claim with no independent confirmation of actual generation
• ⚠Baseline method is contradictory: the validation report characterises it as project-specific while the PDD references a jurisdictional approach, creating ambiguity about the counterfactual
• ⚠No buffer pool, no permanence data, and no reversal-event record are present in the available documents
