Guodian Wuchuan Xiwulanbulang Hongshan Wind Farm Phase II Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind project validated by DNV in 2011 with a solid combined additionality test and jurisdictional grid baseline, but the available record is limited to the validation phase with no monitoring reports or verified emission reductions. Ten material findings were raised during validation (two requiring corrective action), and a 10-fold discrepancy in the claimed ERR between the PDD and the validation report raises data-quality concerns.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The PDD states a total ERR of 1,018,840 tCO2e while the validation report confirms 101,884 tCO2e — a 10× discrepancy that, although likely a decimal error, indicates a data-quality weakness in the project documentation.
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verified ERR figures, or monitoring period data are present in the extracted record, leaving the project's actual performance unverified.
• ⚠Ten material findings were logged during validation, including two corrective actions (missing Letters of Approval and an incorrect sensitivity-analysis calculation), suggesting the initial PDD required substantial revision before approval.
• ⚠Leakage treatment is contradictory: the validation report (Oct 2011) records it as 'deemed negligible' while an earlier appendix (Jul 2011) describes it as 'quantified'.
