Guohua Wulate Zhongqi Phase I 49.5 MW Wind farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW wind farm in China generating VCS avoidance credits under ACM0002, validated by Applus+ Certification. The project uses a jurisdictional baseline and a 0% leakage deduction (deemed negligible, reasonable for wind), with no material findings or corrective actions. However, three contradictions between the validation and monitoring reports—grid emission factor, claimed ERR, and crediting period—introduce meaningful uncertainty, and several key integrity parameters (additionality test type, buffer pool, FNRB) are absent from the extracted record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Grid emission factor differs between the validation report (0.84045, 2020) and the monitoring report (1.0755, 2019), a 28% discrepancy that directly affects credit volume
• ⚠Claimed ERR of 1,044,670 tCO₂e in the validation report versus 811,737 tCO₂e in the monitoring report (a 29% gap) is unexplained in the available documents
• ⚠Crediting period stated as 2009–2031 in the monitoring report but 2019–2029 in the more recent validation report, suggesting a re-validation that is not clearly documented in the extracted record
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation of additionality are not stated in any available document, despite being a core VCS requirement for wind projects
