Huade Daditaihong 49.5MW Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in China under CDM methodology ACM0002 with VVB-confirmed additionality and inherently low permanence risk (avoidance-type). However, the project carries 12 material findings and 12 corrective actions from validation, multiple cross-document contradictions on baseline method and crediting period, and several key MRV parameters (FNRB, usage rates, buffer pool) are absent from the extracted record, limiting confidence in the credit's robustness.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠12 material findings at validation, including a metering deficiency (main and backup meters unable to independently monitor project electricity due to Phase II connection) and multiple IRR/benchmark inconsistencies between the PDD, IRR sheet, and financial sustainability report
• ⚠Baseline method described as 'project' in the 2012 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2009 validation report — an unresolved definitional contradiction that affects baseline credibility
• ⚠Grid emission factor dated 2006 (1.0548 tCO2/MWh) with a corrective action to update to July 2008 NDRC values, indicating the baseline was built on outdated data at the time of validation
• ⚠FNRB value, usage monitoring method, and buffer pool percentage are all absent from the extracted record, leaving key MRV parameters unverifiable
