Guodian Shaoyang Xinning Fengyudian Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in China with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, but limited monitoring data, a significant discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions, and only partial safeguards documentation. The project is methodologically sound for its sector but lacks the depth of verified performance data and stakeholder-protection detail expected of a high-quality credit.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Total ERR differs by a factor of ~7 between the PDD (590,499 tCO₂e) and the validation report (84,357 tCO₂e); the PDD figure likely covers the full 7-year crediting period while the validation report may reflect a single-year estimate, but this is not explicitly reconciled in the available documents.
• ⚠Two corrective actions (CARs) were raised by the VVB regarding missing Letters of Agreement and incomplete monitoring information for electricity export/import, indicating the PDD was not fully complete at validation.
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verified ERR figures, or post-validation performance data were found in the extracted record, leaving actual delivery unconfirmed.
