Guodian Shuozhou Haifeng Hutoushan Phase I 49.5MW Windfarm Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in China validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 with a standard jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test. The project carries inherent low permanence risk as an avoidance-type wind installation, but the absence of any monitoring-period data, a low extraction confidence rating, and ten material findings at validation (all subsequently resolved) limit confidence in the verified credit volume. No CORSIA or CCP eligibility is stated, and the grid emission factor dates to 2011 for a 2013–2019 crediting period.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable and the structured record may be incomplete.
• ⚠No monitoring-period data or monitoring report appears in the extracted record; the claimed and verified ERR figures are identical (651,882), suggesting the verified figure is simply the validation-confirmed ex-ante estimate rather than an independently monitored result.
• ⚠Ten material findings were raised at validation, including a formula correction (CAR#8), IRR input justification (CL#5), and a combined-margin emission-factor discrepancy (CL#7), indicating the initial submission had technical gaps.
• ⚠The grid emission factor of 0.895875 tCO₂/MWh is dated 2011, while the crediting period runs 2013–2019; no baseline reassessment date is recorded.
