Boreas-1 Enez Wind Power Plant

Audit Analysis

The Boreas-1 Enez Wind Power Plant is a 15 MW avoidance-type wind project under Gold Standard with VVB-confirmed additionality and robust monitoring data sources (EPIAS, TEIAS, SGK). However, multiple contradictions across documents — particularly on baseline method, grid emission factor, and ERR figures — combined with a low extraction confidence rating and CORSIA eligibility without a clear CCP status, create meaningful uncertainty around the integrity and claim-safety of the credits.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not mentioned, creating a potential dual-channel / double-claiming pathway that is not explicitly excluded in the available documents.
• ⚠The 2024 verification report characterises the baseline as 'project' while the PDD (2023) describes it as 'jurisdictional'; for a wind project the baseline is the grid, so the more recent label is inconsistent and undermines baseline clarity.
• ⚠Leakage is set at 0 % with the justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the most recent verification report (2024), whereas an earlier 2014 verification report described it as 'quantified' — the more recent, less rigorous treatment prevails.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated 'low', meaning at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the structured data used for scoring.
• ⚠The grid emission factor differs between the PDD (0.6054 tCO₂/MWh, 2022) and the monitoring report (0.7108 tCO₂/MWh), a ~17 % gap that directly affects the magnitude of claimed reductions.
