Audit Analysis

A CDM wind power project in China with a jurisdictional baseline and investment-test additionality, verified by Germanischer Lloyd. The project delivered roughly 69% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitored period, which is within normal wind variability but the discrepancy between the monitoring report (85,977 t) and the verification report (133,808 t) warrants scrutiny. Several MRV documentation gaps (meter calibration, missing sales receipts) were flagged as material findings, though no formal corrective actions were ultimately required.

Red Flags

  • ERR discrepancy: the 2011 monitoring report records 85,977 t while the 2013 verification report confirms 133,808 t for the same period — a 55% gap that is not explained in the extracted record
  • Six material findings in the verification report (missing diagrams, inconsistent meter calibration data, missing electricity sales receipts) indicate MRV documentation weaknesses
  • Grid emission factor is from 2008 and no baseline reassessment date is recorded; the 2013 verification report does not confirm whether the EF was updated
  • CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are both unstated, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed

Risk Indicators

Additionality

Investment test present; VVB confirmation not explicitly recorded

Permanence

Wind avoidance project; no carbon storage, minimal reversal risk

Leakage

0% deduction, justified as negligible for grid-displacing wind

Baseline

Jurisdictional baseline; grid EF from 2008, no reassessment date recorded

Safeguards

FPIC conducted, grievance mechanism and benefit sharing documented

Double-claim

CORSIA and CCP status both unstated; dual-channel risk unassessed
