Audit Analysis
The Kuyucak 25.6 MW wind farm is a well-documented Gold Standard project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a recent baseline reassessment, but it carries moderate risks from a project-specific baseline, absence of a stated buffer pool, and CORSIA eligibility creating dual-channel exposure. Multiple corrective actions were raised and closed across verification cycles, indicating a maturing MRV process, though the most recent verification report leaves reversal risk unaddressed.
Red Flags
- CORSIA eligibility confirmed while CCP status is contradictory across documents (not mentioned in 2014 verification vs. approved in 2010 validation), creating unresolved dual-channel risk
- Most recent verification report (July 2025) does not address reversal/permanence risk, and no buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document
- Baseline method is project-specific rather than jurisdictional, and the 2025 verification report contradicts the 2021 monitoring report which described it as jurisdictional
