Huadian Da’an Fengshuishan Phase II Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project with solid additionality (combined test verified by DNV) and a standard jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline, but severely limited by the absence of any monitoring data, a seven-fold discrepancy between the PDD and validation report on total emissions reductions, and multiple unresolved material findings at validation. The project's inherent low reversal risk as a wind avoidance project is a positive, but the data gaps and ERR inconsistency materially weaken confidence in the credit quantity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Total ERR in the PDD (721,742 tCO₂e) is approximately 7× the figure in the validation report (103,106 tCO₂e); both documents are from August 2012 and should be on the same basis, indicating a serious data-reliability problem.
• ⚠No monitoring reports, verified ERR, or monitoring period are present in the extracted record, leaving the actual delivery of credits entirely unverified.
• ⚠Five material findings were raised at validation (missing approval letters, tariff source, investment/O&M cost justification, meter accuracy, stakeholder consultation sufficiency), and corrective actions including PDD revision were required.
• ⚠Leakage justification is inconsistent across documents: the validation report states 'deemed negligible' while an earlier document references a 'quantified' approach.
