Murat HEPP

Audit Analysis
The Murat HEPP is a small hydro project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a jurisdictional grid-based baseline, but its integrity is undermined by multiple material findings (installed-capacity deviation of ~4.7%, generation-variability concerns, rounding errors in emission calculations, and an outdated VCS Standard reference). The project is conservative in its claims—using a lower 2024 grid emission factor and reporting lower actual capacity than the project description—but the absence of a stated buffer pool, unresolved contradictions across documents, and low extraction confidence limit confidence in the overall data quality.
Red Flags
- Installed power deviates from the project description: 37.22 MWe stated vs 35.478 MWe actual (~4.7% lower), flagged as a material finding in the verification report
- Multiple material findings on generation-variability, capacity inconsistencies, and non-conservative rounding in the ER sheet (CAR 01)
- Grid emission factor contradicts across documents: 0.44755 (PDD 2025) vs 0.65 (verification report 2023)
- Baseline method contradicts: 'jurisdictional' in the verification report vs 'project' in the original PDD (2013)
