Guodian Shanxi Clean Energy Company Limited Ningwu Xiejiaping 49.5MW Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project registered under CDM with a standard jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The validation report (TÜV NORD CERT, December 2012) identified 12 material findings in the PDD, all of which were addressed through corrective actions before registration. However, no monitoring or verification reports are available in the extracted record, so actual emission reductions cannot be verified against the 644,427 tCO₂e ex-ante claim.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Twelve material findings were raised during validation, including missing GHG emission estimates, incomplete sensitivity analysis, and a meter-location mismatch with the actual site — all corrected before registration but indicative of a weak initial PDD
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verification reports are present in the extracted record; the 644,427 tCO₂e lifetime claim cannot be cross-checked against any verified figure
• ⚠The grid emission factor is anchored to 2011 data; no evidence of periodic grid-EF updates across the 2013–2019 crediting period is available
