Audit Analysis
The Hopefield wind facility is a straightforward CDM wind project with a VVB-confirmed barrier additionality test and a jurisdictional grid baseline, but the available record contains no monitoring reports, no verified emission reductions, and a low extraction confidence rating. The project's core design is sound for a wind avoidance project, yet the absence of any post-validation data makes it impossible to confirm delivery or assess long-term grid-factor drift.
Red Flags
- No monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures found in any available document; total ERR verified is not stated
- Minimum extraction confidence rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
- Grid emission factor fixed at 0.91 (2011) with no evidence of periodic reassessment over the 10-year crediting period
- Buffer pool percentage and reversal event history not stated in any available document
Credit Vintages
No issuances recorded on the registry.
