Audit Analysis
A 45 MW onshore wind project in Turkey with VVB-verified additionality (combined test) and a grid-based baseline, presenting low inherent risk for a mature renewable technology. The main concerns are a low extraction confidence across the document set, a contradiction in the stated baseline method between the 2023 verification and 2025 validation reports, and the absence of a verified ERR figure for the 2024 monitoring period. Overall the project is sound but the documentation quality limits confidence in the extracted record.
Red Flags
- Low extraction confidence across the document set means at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted facts
- Baseline method is stated as 'project' in the 2023 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2025 validation report — an unresolved contradiction that affects baseline credibility
- Total ERR verified for the 2024 monitoring period is not found in the extracted record, preventing a direct claim-vs-actual comparison
- A Forward Action Request from the 2020 verification period flagged an ornithology report that included 11 additional turbines and a capacity increase without a formal design-change procedure
