Baglama Wind Power Project, Turkey

Audit Analysis

The Baglama Wind Power Project is a Gold Standard wind avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal risk, but its project-specific baseline, a 2019 grid emission factor, and six inter-document contradictions (including conflicting baseline methodology and safeguards statements) moderate confidence. The verified 2023 emissions reductions substantially exceed the pro-rata ex-ante expectation, suggesting a conservative baseline rather than over-crediting, though the low extraction confidence and open corrective actions limit overall assurance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Six contradictions between documents, including conflicting baseline methodology (project-specific vs jurisdictional) and safeguards documentation (absent in verification report vs present in monitoring report)
• ⚠Grid emission factor dated 2019 with a corrective action still open to update using most recent Ministry of Energy data
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, reducing reliability of the structured data
• ⚠Two corrective actions remain open (emission factor update and IRR recalculation) at the time of the verification report
