78.2 MW Dinar Wind Power Project, Turkey

Audit Analysis

The Dinar Wind Power Project is a well-structured Gold Standard wind project with a VVB-verified investment additionality test, a jurisdictional baseline reassessed in 2024, and a conservative 10% capping mechanism that limits over-crediting. However, the project is undermined by a high volume of corrective actions across multiple verification cycles, eleven documented contradictions between source documents, low extraction confidence, and CORSIA eligibility that introduces dual-channel risk. The overall picture is of a fundamentally sound renewable energy project with meaningful data-quality and governance gaps.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Eleven contradictions across source documents, including conflicting baseline method (jurisdictional vs. project-specific), conflicting safeguards documentation, and conflicting ERR figures (73,653 vs. 88,740 vs. 111,037 tCO2), indicating significant data-reliability concerns.
• ⚠A cumulative 44 Corrective Action Requests and 13 Clarification Requests were issued and closed across multiple verification cycles, suggesting recurring implementation or reporting issues.
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating an unresolved dual-channel risk for the same emission reductions.
• ⚠Low extraction confidence on at least one key document, combined with an 'unknown' document type in the evidence list, limits the reliability of the extracted record.
• ⚠Safeguards documentation is inconsistent: the 2025 verification report does not mention safeguards, while the 2023 verification report does, and FPIC status is contradicted between the PDD and the monitoring report.
