Edincik Wind Power Plant

Audit Analysis

The Edincik Wind Power Plant is a Gold Standard wind project with VVB-verified additionality and a jurisdictional baseline, but its documentation record is marred by extensive corrective actions (17 CARs, 81 CRs across cycles), multiple inter-document contradictions, and a low extraction confidence rating. The project delivered approximately 86% of its pro-rata emission reduction expectation for the elapsed monitoring period, indicating no over-crediting. Fundamental integrity risks are moderate given the inherent low-risk nature of wind avoidance credits, but data quality issues temper confidence.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠17 Corrective Action Requests and 81 Clarification Requests raised across verification cycles, including incorrect baseline emission calculations using estimated rather than achieved values
• ⚠Contradiction in baseline method between the 2023 verification report (project-specific) and the 2024 verification report (jurisdictional), creating uncertainty about which baseline was actually applied
• ⚠Missing coordinates for all 30 wind turbines in the monitoring report and discrepancy between MR and PDD turbine coordinates
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
