Jingyuan County 100MW Solar Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A 100 MW solar PV project in China registered under VCS with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. The project is fundamentally sound as an avoidance-type renewable energy credit, but the 0% leakage deduction lacks a clear justification, several key fields (buffer pool, CORSIA/CCP status, baseline reassessment date) are absent from the record, and multiple material findings and cross-document contradictions reduce confidence in data reliability.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% with justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the 2022 verification report, while a separate entry in the same report says 'deemed negligible' — an internal inconsistency that leaves the leakage treatment ambiguous.
• ⚠Five corrective actions were raised across verification reports, including identical values in the 'Current Project Contribution' and 'Contributions Over Project Lifetime' columns and missing cross-check results for energy output parameters.
• ⚠Baseline method is described as 'jurisdictional' in the 2022 verification report but as 'project' in the 2015 validation report, creating uncertainty about the true baseline basis.
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed.
