Audit Analysis
The Mordogan Wind Farm is a standard grid-displacement wind project with confirmed additionality and no reversal risk, but the verification report flagged nine material findings including inconsistent generation and emission figures, and the most recent report leaves the 0% leakage deduction without a stated justification. The project is delivering above its pro-rata ex-ante expectation, yet the second-period credits remain unverified and the operational lifetime was extended from 20 to 25 years without a fully documented rationale.
Red Flags
- Nine material findings in the 2024 verification report, including inconsistent total electricity generation, NOx/SO2 avoided emissions, and total ER values between the monitoring report and the ER sheet
- Leakage deduction of 0% with justification recorded as 'not addressed' in the 2024 verification report, while the 2020 report described it as 'quantified' — the more recent treatment is weaker
- Operational lifetime extended from 20 to 25 years (CL#01) without a fully documented engineering justification in the available record
- Calibration certificate did not cover the entire monitoring period, undermining confidence in metering data
- Second-period ERR of 48,415 tCO2e is claimed in the monitoring report but has not yet been independently verified
