Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW wind farm in China's Hami region validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 with a jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test. However, the validation report carries three corrective action requests and eight clarifications, the ERR figures in the PDD and validation report differ by a factor of seven (likely annual vs. total), and no monitoring or verification data is available in the extracted record. The project is a standard avoidance-type wind credit with low inherent reversal risk, but documentation gaps and unresolved compliance items limit confidence.

Red Flags

  • Three corrective action requests (CARs) in the validation report, including missing Letters of Approval from the host country and UK DNA, a missing MoC statement, and a non-conservative calculation method for net electricity supplied when capacity shares a transformer
  • ERR figures differ by a factor of seven between the PDD (698,236 tCO2) and the validation report (99,748 tCO2); while likely an annual-vs-total discrepancy, the inconsistency was not explicitly reconciled in the documents
  • No monitoring report, verified ERR, or post-validation data is present in the extracted record, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the ex-ante estimate
  • Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable

Credit Vintages

No issuances recorded on the registry.

Risk Indicators
