Heilongjiang Dajiazishan 49.5MW Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in Heilongjiang, China, registered under CDM with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and a 7-year crediting period (2015–2022). The project shows no material findings and a reasonable leakage treatment, but the extracted record lacks explicit confirmation of the additionality test and contains a significant discrepancy between the PDD's ex-ante estimate (616,763 tCO₂e) and the validation/monitoring reports (88,109 tCO₂e), which undermines confidence in the credit volume.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Additionality test type and VVB confirmation are not stated in any extracted document, leaving a core CDM requirement unverified in the available record.
• ⚠The PDD (Aug 2019) reports a total ERR of 616,763 tCO₂e while the validation report (Sep 2019) and monitoring report (Aug 2019) both report 88,109 tCO₂e — a roughly 7-fold discrepancy that is not explained in the extracted data.
• ⚠If 88,109 tCO₂e covers only the ~3.7 years elapsed by the monitoring report date, the project delivered roughly 27 % of the pro-rata expectation implied by the PDD's full-period estimate, suggesting either a major output shortfall or a mislabelled figure.
