Huadian Inner Mongolia Tongliao Kailu Jieji Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A CDM wind farm project with a solid investment-test additionality assessment verified by TÜV NORD, but undermined by ten material findings at validation, four cross-document contradictions (baseline method, leakage justification, ERR figures, crediting period), and the absence of a verified ERR figure. The project is inherently low-risk in terms of permanence and leakage (wind displacing grid electricity), yet the documentation quality and data gaps limit confidence in the overall credit quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Ten material findings at validation, including IRR calculation errors, an incomplete list of similar projects for common-practice analysis, and a pending host-country approval letter at the time of site validation
• ⚠Four contradictions between the validation report, PDD, and monitoring report covering baseline method, leakage justification, total ERR, and crediting period dates
• ⚠No verified ERR figure is available in the extracted record; only the claimed figure of 58,383 tCO₂e from the first monitoring period is present
• ⚠Monitoring period dates are internally inconsistent (end date 2012-09-30 precedes start date 2012-10-03), indicating a clerical error in the monitoring report
