Geres Wind Power Project, Turkey

Audit Analysis

The Geres Wind Power Project is a straightforward renewable energy project with VVB-confirmed additionality, no reversal events, and a reasonable zero-leakage treatment appropriate for grid-connected wind. However, the project-specific baseline, numerous inter-document contradictions, low extraction confidence, and missing FNRB/usage data introduce moderate uncertainty. The project delivered approximately 101% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitoring period, indicating no material over- or under-crediting.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Ten contradictions between the verification report and monitoring report (including baseline method, leakage justification, safeguards, and grievance mechanism) reduce confidence in data consistency
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set means at least one key document was poorly readable, limiting assurance on extracted values
• ⚠Project-specific baseline (per the 2025 verification report) is less robust than a jurisdictional baseline, and the monitoring report contradicts this by stating 'jurisdictional'
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted, and several social/SDG-related CARs (wastewater, waste oil, employment evidence) indicate incomplete social monitoring documentation
