Audit Analysis
The Catalca Wind Power Project is a 60 MW grid-connected wind facility in Turkey verified under Gold Standard with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and a conservative 12% under-delivery against ex-ante estimates. The project carries moderate integrity risk due to the absence of a stated buffer pool, a project-specific baseline designation, and a long history of corrective action requests (though all were closed). CORSIA eligibility introduces a dual-channel consideration, and several transparency gaps (FNRB, usage monitoring) remain unaddressed in the extracted record.
Red Flags
- No buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, leaving permanence risk unquantified for a 7-year crediting period
- FPIC status is contradictory across documents (conducted per 2010 verification, not conducted per 2024 verification), and the more recent 2024 record indicates it was not performed
- CORSIA eligibility is confirmed while CCP status is not stated, creating potential dual-channel credit allocation risk
- Over 50 corrective and clarification requests were raised across multiple verification cycles, indicating recurring data-quality and reporting issues
- FNRB value and usage monitoring method are not stated in any available document
