Audit Analysis
The Kores Kocadag Wind Power Project is a standard Gold Standard wind project with VVB-confirmed additionality, no material findings, and monitoring results closely tracking the ex-ante expectation. The main concerns are a project-specific baseline (contradicting a jurisdictional reference in the monitoring report), reversal events that were not explicitly addressed, and the absence of CORSIA/CCP eligibility clarification. Overall, the project presents a moderate-risk profile typical of utility-scale wind in Turkey.
Red Flags
- Baseline method is stated as 'project-specific' in the 2025 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2025 monitoring report — an unresolved contradiction that weakens baseline robustness
- Reversal events are listed as 'not addressed' in the verification report, and no buffer pool percentage is stated, leaving permanence risk unquantified
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, creating uncertainty about dual-channel crediting risk
- Lifetime ex-ante ERR differs between the PDD (276,584) and the monitoring report (324,170), a 17% gap that is not explained in the extracted record
