Hebei Huadian Shangyi Ergongdi Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project in China with a VVB-verified combined additionality test and a standard jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline. The project is inherently low-risk (avoidance-type, no reversal exposure), and all material findings from validation were documentation-related and resolved. However, the absence of any monitoring report, verified emission reductions, or FNRB data significantly limits the ability to confirm ongoing performance and claim accuracy.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring report or verified emission-reduction figure is available in the extracted record, so actual delivery against the claimed 92,619 tCO₂/yr (or 648,333 tCO₂ over the 7-year crediting period) cannot be confirmed.
• ⚠The PDD (Sep 2011) describes the additionality test as 'investment' while the validation report (Dec 2011) records a 'combined' test; the more recent and authoritative validation report is privileged, but the discrepancy suggests the PDD was not fully updated before validation.
• ⚠Buffer-pool percentage and reversal-event history are not stated in any available document, leaving permanence safeguards unverified even though wind is an avoidance project.
