Huadian Shangde Dongtai 10MWp Solar PV Power Project

Audit Analysis

A 10 MWp grid-connected solar PV project under CDM with a standard jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The validation report identified eight material findings requiring corrective action, including non-conservative emission calculations and outdated tools, which were subsequently addressed. No monitoring or verification reports were available in the extracted record, limiting the ability to confirm actual delivery against the claimed 64,890 tCO₂e.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eight material findings in the validation report, including non-conservative emission reduction calculations (CAR-3) and use of an outdated emission-factor calculation tool (CAR-5), indicate the initial PDD had significant methodological weaknesses
• ⚠No monitoring reports or verification reports were found in the extracted record, so actual emission reductions could not be confirmed against the 64,890 tCO₂e claimed over the 2011–2018 crediting period
• ⚠Grid emission factor of 0.8141 tCO₂/MWh is anchored to 2010 data; no baseline reassessment or updated grid EF is documented for the remainder of the crediting period
