Audit Analysis
The Aslancık Hydro Power Plant is a registered VCS avoidance project in Türkiye that displaces grid electricity with a 2021 grid emission factor of 0.4475 tCO₂/MWh. Additionality is confirmed by the VVB via a combined test, and the verified ERR matches the claimed figure exactly, but the project carries notable weaknesses: a 0% leakage deduction with no stated justification, no buffer pool, 19 corrective actions raised by the VVB, and a project-specific baseline rather than a jurisdictional one.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction is 0% with justification listed as 'not addressed' in the 2025 verification report, despite the 2021 verification report stating leakage was quantified — a regression in documentation that leaves the displacement assumption unverified
- 19 corrective actions (CAR-1 through CAR-18, CAR-22) were required by the VVB in the 2025 verification, indicating a high volume of non-conformities that had to be resolved before credit issuance
- Baseline method is contradictory: the 2025 verification report classifies it as 'project' while the 2025 monitoring report classifies it as 'jurisdictional'
- Reversal events are listed as 'not addressed' in the extracted record, with no detail provided
