Shandan Dongle Beitan 50MW Solar Power Generation Project

Audit Analysis

A 50 MW grid-connected solar project under VCS ACM0002 with a solid additionality assessment (combined test, VVB-verified) and reasonable leakage treatment, but undermined by 11 material findings, a baseline-method contradiction between documents, and low extraction confidence across the 20-document record. The ERR figures are internally consistent (claimed equals verified at 213,469 tCO₂e over the full 10-year crediting period), and permanence risk is not applicable for a renewable-energy project.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eleven material findings in the 2024 verification report, including crediting-period inconsistency, missing IRR sensitivity analysis, and incorrect methodology naming, all requiring corrective action
• ⚠Baseline method described as 'project' in the 2020 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2024 monitoring report — an unresolved contradiction that affects baseline credibility
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and the structured record may be incomplete
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
