Guodian Tulufan Daheyan Wind Farm Phase I 49.5 MW Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW CDM wind project in China with a solid jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality, but significant documentation gaps (no monitoring or verification reports found) and a major discrepancy between the PDD's claimed ERR (645,099 tCO₂e) and the VVB-validated figure (92,157 tCO₂e) that raises questions about the developer's initial claims. The project's inherent low reversal risk as a physical wind installation is a positive, but the absence of any post-validation monitoring data limits confidence in actual delivery.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The PDD (2012-03-09) claims a total ERR of 645,099 tCO₂e while the validation report (2012-04-25) validates only 92,157 tCO₂e — a roughly 7-fold discrepancy that suggests the developer's initial estimate was far above what the VVB could substantiate.
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verification reports were found in the extracted record, meaning there is no evidence of actual credit issuance or delivery against the validated baseline.
• ⚠Eight material findings were raised during validation, including missing Letters of Approval, boundary justification issues, and monitoring plan deficiencies, with two corrective actions required before approval.
