Score Breakdown

Integrity

verified The validation/verification record indicates additionality was assessed using an investment test and confirmed by the VVB.

missing The monitoring report (2021) lists corrective actions including not subtracting line losses and an incorrect monitoring period description, both of which can affect credited MWh and ER integrity.

Transparency

verified A named VVB (Applus+ Certification) and a defined monitoring period (2012-07-01 to 2016-09-29) are provided in the monitoring report (2021).

missing Core quantitative disclosures are inconsistent across documents (e.g., verified ER totals and crediting period), reducing transparency and traceability.

Claim Safety

missing The project uses a project-specific baseline under ACM0002 and the timing of baseline reassessment is not stated in the extracted record, increasing over-crediting risk.

missing CORSIA and CCP status are not stated in available documents, and ER figures are contradictory, increasing downstream claim and labeling risk.

Documentation

verified Multiple document types are available (PDD, validation report, monitoring report, issuance) and extraction confidence is high.

missing The presence of multiple contradictions and corrective actions indicates documentation quality/control issues despite document availability.

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The validation/verification record indicates additionality was assessed via an investment test and confirmed by the VVB, which supports additionality robustness. The monitoring report (2021) includes corrective actions noting the monitoring period was incorrectly stated in the report and that line losses were not subtracted from electricity exported to the grid; both issues can materially affect credited net generation. Leakage is not consistently treated: the monitoring report (2021) shows it as not addressed, while an earlier monitoring report (2007) deems it negligible, leaving uncertainty about whether leakage was appropriately assessed.

Transparency

The monitoring report (2021) provides a clear monitoring period (2012-07-01 to 2016-09-29) and identifies the VVB as Applus+ Certification, which helps auditability. However, key figures are not consistently reported across documents, including a major discrepancy in emissions reductions totals and an inconsistent crediting period, which undermines traceability. Several important fields (e.g., baseline reassessment timing and leakage deduction) are not stated in the extracted record.

Claim Safety

Over-crediting risk is elevated because the monitoring report (2021) corrective actions include not subtracting line losses from exported electricity, which can inflate credited MWh. The baseline is described as project-specific and the baseline reassessment date is not stated in available documents, which weakens confidence that the baseline remains conservative over time. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in the extracted record, so buyers cannot easily determine whether additional claim constraints or labeling expectations apply.

Documentation

The extracted record includes multiple document types (PDD, validation report, monitoring report, issuance) with high extraction confidence and a relatively high number of documents used, supporting basic completeness. Nonetheless, the monitoring report (2021) contains corrective actions indicating reporting/control weaknesses, and multiple cross-document contradictions suggest version control or data transcription issues. Safeguards documentation is mixed: safeguards are mentioned in the monitoring report (2021), but the validation report (2007) indicates they were not mentioned, and no grievance mechanism or FPIC is evidenced in the extracted record.

Overall

Contradictions materially affect confidence. For leakage, the more recent monitoring report (2021) stating leakage is not addressed is privileged over the older 2007 statement that it is negligible, because it is later and suggests the file set may not consistently document the justification. For safeguards, the monitoring report (2021) is privileged over the 2007 validation report because it is more recent, but the inconsistency still lowers confidence given the absence of FPIC and a grievance mechanism in the extracted record. For emissions reductions, the higher figure (261,621) is treated as the likely verified total because it aligns with the longer monitoring period shown (2012–2016) and the 32,711 figure appears more consistent with a smaller/earlier period; however, the discrepancy is severe and drives a downward adjustment to transparency and claim safety. For the crediting period, the monitoring report (2021) value (2006–2027) is privileged as the operational registry-era framing, but the mismatch with the PDD (2007–2014) creates boundary uncertainty and reduces integrity and transparency scores.

Audit Analysis

This is a grid-connected wind project under ACM0002 with additionality confirmed by the VVB, which supports basic integrity. However, key elements are inconsistently reported across documents (notably crediting period and emissions reductions), and leakage treatment is unclear, increasing over-crediting and reliability risk. Safeguards and grievance provisions appear weak or inconsistently documented.

Project Description

The Hebei Kangbao Wolongtushan 30 MW Wind Farm Project generates electricity by harnessing wind power and selling it to the North China power grid. With 40 sets of turbines and a unit capacity of 750 kW, the project has an installed capacity of 30 MW and is estimated to produce 57,946 MWh of electricity annually. It aligns with China's development priorities.

Red Flags

  • Large inconsistency in reported verified emissions reductions (261,621 vs 32,711) across documents, raising data reliability and over-crediting concerns
  • Crediting period is inconsistent between the monitoring report (2006–2027) and the PDD (2007–2014), creating uncertainty about eligibility boundaries
  • Leakage is either not addressed or deemed negligible depending on the document, with no clear quantified deduction
  • Corrective actions note errors in monitoring period description and failure to subtract line losses from exported electricity, which can inflate credited generation

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

  • Provide a reconciled, registry-consistent statement of the crediting period and the exact monitoring/vintage boundaries used for issuance, with references to the specific VCS registration/issuance records.
  • Publish a clear leakage assessment consistent across documents (including whether leakage is negligible and why) and disclose the final net export calculation showing line-loss treatment and any resulting ER adjustments.

Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
