Killik Wind Power Plant

Audit Analysis

The Killik Wind Power Plant is a Gold Standard wind project in Turkey with VVB-confirmed additionality and a reasonable zero-leakage justification for a grid-displacement technology. However, multiple contradictions across documents—particularly on baseline method, grid emission factor, and additionality test type—undermine data reliability, and the project's CORSIA eligibility combined with an unclarified CCP status introduces dual-channel risk. The low extraction confidence and a high volume of corrective actions during verification further temper confidence in the project's documentation quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Seven contradictions identified across documents, including conflicting baseline methods (project vs. jurisdictional), grid emission factors (0.6482 vs. 0.7258), and additionality test types (combined vs. investment), indicating data reliability issues
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility confirmed while CCP status is not mentioned in any available document, creating unresolved dual-channel risk
• ⚠16 Corrective Action Requests and 24 Clarification Requests were issued during verification, with several relating to stakeholder engagement gaps (low women's participation, incomplete evaluation forms)
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing assurance in the extracted data
• ⚠Grid emission factor sourced from 2018 and contradicted by a higher value (0.7258) in the monitoring report, raising questions about which parameter drives credit calculations
