Hebei Chongli Jiaocheshan 49.3MW Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.3 MW onshore wind project in Hebei, China, registered under CDM with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and a 7-year crediting period (2018–2025). The project is low-risk in terms of permanence and leakage, but the extracted record lacks explicit additionality test details and shows an exact match between claimed and verified emissions reductions, which warrants scrutiny. No material findings beyond one closed clarification request were reported.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Claimed and verified emissions reductions are identical (612,850 tCO₂e), which is statistically unlikely for a metered wind project and may indicate the figures were not independently re-derived during verification.
• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving a gap in confirming the mandatory CDM additionality assessment despite the presence of a validation report.
• ⚠The monitoring report is dated 17 July 2020 yet the stated monitoring period extends to 30 November 2025, creating ambiguity about whether the verified figure covers the full crediting period or only the elapsed portion.
