BARBAROS WIND POWER PLANT PROJECT 12 MW

Audit Analysis

The Barbaros 12 MW wind project has sound design fundamentals — VVB-verified additionality, a jurisdictional baseline reassessed in 2024, and no reversal risk inherent to an avoidance-type renewable project. However, the verification report records 27 corrective action requests including baseline calculation errors and unclosed findings, and the project delivered only roughly 31% of its ex-ante emission reduction estimate over the first crediting period, raising concerns about the robustness of the original estimate and data quality. CORSIA eligibility without a stated CCP status introduces a residual double-claiming risk.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠27 corrective action requests (CARs) and 9 clarifications (CLs) logged in the 2025 verification report, with findings explicitly noted as not yet closed
• ⚠A formal audit request (FAR) requires the next VVB to cap verified ER values to the upper bound of a sensitivity analysis, indicating the reported figures may be unreliable
• ⚠Verified cumulative ERR of 51,589 tCO₂ over the 7-year crediting period represents only ~31% of the 164,779 tCO₂ ex-ante lifetime estimate, suggesting the original projection was substantially overstated
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not stated in any available document, leaving the double-claiming channel partially unassessed
