Aşağı Kaleköy Solar Power Plant

Audit Analysis

A grid-connected solar PV project in Turkey using the well-established ACM0002 methodology, with a jurisdictional baseline and VVB-verified additionality. The core carbon accounting is sound and the project delivered approximately 91% of its pro-rata expectation for the elapsed monitoring period. However, 11 corrective action requests and 12 clarification requests raised during verification, along with 8 cross-document contradictions, indicate meaningful data-quality and documentation-consistency issues that temper confidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠11 corrective action requests and 12 clarification requests were raised during verification, covering inconsistencies in electricity values, installed capacity, emission reduction values, grid emission factor notation, and calculation errors in the monitoring report
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating a dual-channel allocation risk
• ⚠The verification report cited ICR Requirement v4.0 instead of the applicable v5.0, and Section 7 lacked the required explicit opinion type, assurance level, and responsible-party statement
• ⚠The monitoring report incorrectly referenced hydropower plant impacts instead of solar power plant impacts in multiple sections
