Koru Wind Power Plant, Turkey

Audit Analysis

The Koru Wind Power Plant is a Gold Standard wind project with VVB-confirmed additionality, no reversal events, and a straightforward grid-displacement baseline. However, the project carries a very large volume of corrective actions (over 50 items) in its monitoring report, multiple contradictions between documents on baseline method and ER figures, and several eligibility fields (CORSIA, CCP) remain unaddressed. Overall a moderate-quality credit with inherent low-risk project type but notable documentation and consistency gaps.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Over 50 corrective actions required in the monitoring report, spanning ER calculations, SDG impact reporting, sustainability parameters, and template compliance — indicating significant gaps in the submitted monitoring documentation
• ⚠Baseline method contradiction: the PDD (2020) describes a jurisdictional baseline while the verification report (2024) states a project-specific baseline, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline construction
• ⚠Multiple ERR figure contradictions across documents (e.g., verified ER of 166,237 in the 2025 verification report vs. 35,533 in the 2024 verification report; ex-ante lifetime of 671,272 vs. 581,231 in earlier PDD)
• ⚠CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted, and the verification report lists corrective actions related to stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanism documentation
