Guohua Lijin (Phase III) Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 50 MW onshore wind project in China validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 with a confirmed combined additionality test and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project is inherently low-risk in terms of permanence and leakage, but the available record contains no verified monitoring data, a significant discrepancy between the PDD and validation-report ERR figures, seven corrective-action requests at validation, and a low extraction-confidence flag that limits confidence in the extracted evidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠The PDD reports a lifetime ERR of 681,548 tCO₂e while the validation report (same date, 2012-12-28) states 96,546 tCO₂e — a roughly 7× gap that is likely an annual-vs-lifetime labelling error but indicates a documentation inconsistency that was not explicitly reconciled in the record.
• ⚠No verified monitoring-period ERR figure is available in the extracted record, so actual performance against the ex-ante estimate cannot be assessed.
• ⚠Seven corrective-action requests were raised at validation, including corrections to the PLF/investment analysis and missing measurement-interval specifications, suggesting the initial submission had material gaps.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and the completeness of the evidence base is uncertain.
