Huadian Ningxia Ningdong Phase V Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

A standard CDM wind farm project in China with a well-verified combined additionality test and a jurisdictional grid-emission-factor baseline, but significant transparency gaps due to the absence of any monitoring-period data or verified emission reductions. The project is an avoidance-type credit with inherently low permanence risk, and the numerous (but purely administrative) material findings in the validation report do not undermine the core methodology.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠No monitoring-period data or verified emission reductions found in any available document, making it impossible to confirm actual delivery against the 589,176 tCO₂e claim
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable and the extracted record may be incomplete
• ⚠Contradiction between the validation report (leakage 'deemed negligible') and an appendix (leakage 'quantified') creates ambiguity about whether leakage was actually calculated
