Huadian Guyuan Phase III 49.5MW Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in China registered under CDM with a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test. The credit type carries inherently low permanence and leakage risk, but the validation report flagged eight material PDD deficiencies requiring corrective action, and no monitoring-period data is available to confirm actual delivery. The project's crediting period expired in October 2019 with no post-project verification on record.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eight material findings in the validation report (2012) covering PDD boundary, technical specifications, metering accuracy, and EG calculation methodology, each requiring corrective action before registration
• ⚠No monitoring-period data or verified ERR figures are available in the extracted record, so actual credit delivery cannot be confirmed
• ⚠Total ERR is reported as 104,898 tCO₂e in the validation report but 734,286 tCO₂e in the PDD — the 7× ratio matches the 7-year crediting period, indicating an annual-vs-lifetime reporting-basis mismatch rather than a true discrepancy, but the inconsistency across documents is a documentation weakness
• ⚠Crediting period ended 2019-10-01 with no evidence of post-project monitoring or closure reporting in the available documents
