Huadian Hebei Yuzhou Zhenjiawan 49.5MW Wind Power Project

Audit Analysis

A standard CDM wind power project (49.5 MW, Hebei, China) using the well-established ACM0002 methodology with a jurisdictional grid baseline and VVB-confirmed combined additionality test. The project is methodologically sound with appropriate leakage treatment for a grid-displacement wind project, but the available record lacks monitoring reports and verified emission reduction figures, limiting the ability to confirm actual delivery against the ex-ante estimate.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring reports or verified emission reduction figures are present in the extracted record, so actual delivery against the ex-ante estimate cannot be confirmed.
• ⚠Four corrective action requests (CARs) were raised during validation relating to the financial analysis underpinning the additionality test (tax rate inconsistency, loss carry-forward, sensitivity analysis traceability), all of which were subsequently corrected.
• ⚠The grid emission factor is from 2011, one year before the crediting period start; no evidence of periodic EF updates during the 2013–2019 crediting period is available in the extracted documents.
