Guodian Weifang Binhai Wind Farm Phase I Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind project with a confirmed additionality test and jurisdictional baseline, but undermined by 11 material findings in the validation report, an unaddressed leakage assessment, and a seven-fold discrepancy in claimed emissions reductions between the PDD and the validation report. No monitoring reports or verified performance data are available, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the claimed 96,316 tCO₂e.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven-fold discrepancy in total ERR: the PDD claims 674,212 tCO₂e while the validation report (the authoritative VVB document) records 96,316 tCO₂e — a 7× gap that cannot be reconciled from available documents
• ⚠Leakage was not addressed in the validation report (stated as 'not addressed'), while the PDD merely deemed it negligible without quantification — a 0% deduction with no substantive justification
• ⚠11 material findings (CARs) in the validation report, including missing PDD revision history, unclear monitoring plan for shared meters, and methodology version inconsistencies
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verified ERR, or post-validation documents are available in the extracted record, leaving actual performance entirely unverified
