Audit Analysis

A 142.5 MW onshore wind project in Turkey under Gold Standard with VVB-confirmed additionality and strong over-delivery relative to ex-ante estimates. The project-specific baseline, absence of a stated buffer pool, and a large volume of corrective and clarification requests temper the otherwise solid integrity profile. Low extraction confidence across 31 source documents limits the reliability of the structured record.

Red Flags

  • Project-specific baseline rather than a jurisdictional or standardised baseline, increasing sensitivity to assumptions
  • Low extraction confidence across the 31-document corpus means several key fields (FNRB, usage monitoring, CCP status, carbon content) could not be confirmed
  • Legal dispute regarding a 2024 turbine fire (T2) flagged as a Forward Action Request for the next verification cycle
  • CORSIA eligibility confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating a potential dual-channel allocation question
