Huadian Kulun 201MW Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A 201 MW onshore wind project under CDM with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a conservative ex-ante emission estimate that the first monitoring period substantially exceeded. The project is free of inherent reversal risk (avoidance-type), but documentation gaps (no verified ERR figure, no fnrb data, CDM-era reporting) and a baseline-method contradiction between the validation and monitoring reports limit confidence. Overall a solid but mid-tier credit with no critical red flags.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Baseline method is stated as 'project-specific' in the monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the validation report — an unresolved contradiction that affects baseline credibility
• ⚠No verified ERR figure is available in the extracted record; only the claimed figure (245,259 tCO₂) from the monitoring report is present
• ⚠Leakage justification is inconsistent: the monitoring report says 'quantified' while the validation report says 'deemed negligible', both yielding a 0% deduction
• ⚠No verification report appears in the evidence document list; only a validation report and a single monitoring report are available
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
