Audit Analysis
A 49.5 MW onshore wind project in China verified under Gold Standard with a reputable VVB (Applus+), a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test, and a jurisdictional baseline. The project delivered roughly 3.2× the pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2017–2019 monitoring window, indicating conservative ex-ante estimates rather than over-crediting. Minor concerns include a baseline-method inconsistency between the 2017 and 2020 verification reports and three unresolved clarifying requests on metering and calibration.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is characterised as 'jurisdictional' in the 2020 verification report but as 'project' in the 2017 verification report — an inconsistency that weakens confidence in the baseline's robustness
- Three clarifying requests (meter models, calibration-institution accreditation, net-electricity data flow) were raised in the 2020 verification report and remain open, suggesting minor gaps in MRV documentation
