Audit Analysis
The Metristepe Wind Farm is a straightforward renewable-energy avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality, no reversal risk, and a conservative ex-ante estimate that the project is exceeding. However, a project-specific baseline, a low extraction confidence rating, 15 corrective actions in the monitoring report, and several inter-document contradictions (notably on baseline method and additionality status) temper confidence in the overall data quality.
Red Flags
- Low extraction confidence indicates at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of extracted facts
- 15 corrective actions required in the 2025 monitoring report, including incorrect crediting-period dates, wrong PDD version, and a rounding error in the annual emission reduction value
- Additionality verification status contradicts between the 2022 verification report (not confirmed) and the 2025 verification report (confirmed), raising questions about the robustness of the additionality assessment over time
- Baseline method is described as 'project-specific' in the 2025 verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2025 monitoring report, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline approach
- FPIC was not conducted, and benefit-sharing is described inconsistently across verification reports (present in 2020, absent in 2022)
