Hangtian Wanyuan Gaizhou Xutun Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a standard jurisdictional grid baseline, but the record is heavily weighted toward validation-stage documents with nine material findings, no monitoring or verification data, and two inter-document contradictions on leakage treatment and additionality test type. The absence of any verified emission reduction figures or monitoring period data significantly limits confidence in the project's actual performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Nine material findings (CARs/CLs) at validation, including incomplete common-practice analysis for similar wind projects in Liaoning Province (CAR B4) and calculation errors in the emission reduction spreadsheet (CAR B5), indicating a weak initial PDD
• ⚠No monitoring period, verified ERR, or verification report found in the extracted record despite the crediting period (2013–2019) having fully elapsed
• ⚠Contradiction between the validation report (leakage 'deemed negligible') and the PDD (leakage 'quantified') creates ambiguity about the actual leakage treatment
• ⚠Contradiction between the validation report (additionality test: investment) and the PDD (additionality test: combined) raises questions about which test was actually applied
