Hainan Dongfang Gaopai Phase I Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM-era wind power project in Hainan, China, with a verified combined additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, but with significant gaps in monitoring data, permanence evidence, and safeguards documentation. The ERR figures in the PDD and validation report are consistent on a pro-rata basis (annual vs. lifetime), and the 0% leakage deduction is reasonable for grid-displacing wind. The absence of any verified monitoring results, buffer pool, or reversal-risk data limits confidence in the project's long-term integrity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring period or verified ERR figures found in any available document — the project's actual delivery is unconfirmed
• ⚠No buffer pool, permanence mechanism, or reversal-risk assessment documented for a 7-year crediting period
• ⚠FPIC and grievance mechanism not documented despite safeguards being mentioned in the validation report
• ⚠Two material findings at validation (site coordinates and IRR calculation) required corrective action, indicating minor but real documentation weaknesses
