Huadian Inner Mongolia Tongliao Fuyu 49.5MW Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in Inner Mongolia validated under CDM methodology ACM0002 v13.0.0, with VVB-confirmed additionality (combined test) and a jurisdictional baseline. The project is inherently low-risk in terms of permanence and leakage, but the available record is limited to validation-stage documents with no monitoring or verification reports, and two material findings with corrective actions were raised during validation. Data reliability is further weakened by a low extraction confidence rating and a grid emission factor discrepancy between the validation report and an appendix.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Two material findings and two corrective actions were raised in the validation report (common-practice plant identification and monitoring plan feasibility at a shared substation), indicating the validation was not clean.
• ⚠No monitoring or verification report data is available in the extracted record; the monitoring period is not stated, and no verified ERR figure exists to confirm actual delivery against the claimed 100,640 tCO₂e/yr.
• ⚠Grid emission factor discrepancy: the validation report (Nov 2012) uses 0.963575 tCO₂/MWh while an appendix cites 1.0852 tCO₂/MWh, a ~13% difference that could affect the baseline calculation.
