Hebei Shangyi Manjing West Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind energy project in China validated by CEC under the well-established ACM0002 methodology, with a jurisdictional grid-based baseline and a 7-year crediting period (2015–2022). The project is fundamentally sound for its sector, but the extracted record lacks explicit additionality documentation and several transparency fields, and two apparent contradictions in the source documents (ERR scope and leakage characterization) require careful interpretation. Overall a moderate-quality credit with no major red flags but notable evidence gaps.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in the extracted record, leaving the core CDM additionality requirement unverified in available data
• ⚠The PDD (2017-02-09) reports a total of 669,627 tCO2 while the validation report (2017-02-10) reports 95,661 tCO2; although the ratio (7×) matches the 7-year crediting period and likely reflects a full-period vs. annual scope difference, the labeling as 'total_err_claimed' in both sources creates ambiguity
• ⚠Monitoring period is not stated in any extracted document, making it impossible to independently verify the temporal scope of the reported ERR figures
