Hainan Dongfang Sigeng Wind Farm Phase I Project(48MW)

Audit Analysis

A 48 MW CDM wind project in Hainan, China, with a well-supported additionality case (combined test, IRR 6.02% below the 8% benchmark) confirmed by TÜV SÜD. The jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline is standard for ACM0002 wind projects, and no reversal risk is inherent to the technology. However, the leakage justification is weak (0% deduction with the later monitoring report stating it was 'not addressed'), several key MRV parameters are missing from the extracted record, and multiple contradictions across documents reduce confidence in data consistency.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage justification contradicts itself across two monitoring reports: the 2012 report describes it as 'quantified' while the 2013 report states it was 'not addressed'; the 0% deduction lacks a clear, consistent rationale in the most recent document.
• ⚠Total verified ERR is not found in the extracted record, preventing any pro-rata delivery check against the 82,653 tCO₂ lifetime claim.
• ⚠Crediting period differs between the PDD (2011-03-01 to 2018-02-28) and the 2013 monitoring report (2010-12-20 to 2017-12-19), creating ambiguity about the approved project duration.
