ANTALYA Solar Power Plant

Audit Analysis

The Antalya Solar Power Plant is a Gold Standard solar thermal electricity project with VVB-confirmed additionality (combined test) and low inherent permanence risk typical of avoidance-type renewable energy projects. However, the project is undermined by nine cross-document contradictions, a project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with inconsistent justification, five corrective action requests, and CORSIA eligibility creating dual-channel risk. The 13.1% overachievement relative to ex-ante estimates is managed by Gold Standard's 15% cap, but the overall documentation quality is weakened by low extraction confidence and gaps in FNRB and buffer pool reporting.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Nine contradictions across documents, including conflicting baseline methods (project-specific vs jurisdictional), conflicting FPIC status, and conflicting crediting periods
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating potential dual-channel crediting risk
• ⚠Five corrective action requests (CAR#01–CAR#05) raised during verification, indicating material compliance gaps
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% with justification described as 'not addressed' in the verification report, conflicting with 'deemed negligible' in the monitoring report
• ⚠FNRB value and method not stated in any available document, leaving a gap in the emission reduction calculation chain
