ORLEMIS WPP

Audit Analysis

The ORLEMIS WPP is a Gold Standard wind project in Turkey with inherently low permanence and leakage risk, and no reversal events reported. However, the project is undermined by an extraordinary volume of corrective actions (over 40), including boundary misalignment, an expired methodology version, and numerous internal PDD inconsistencies. Significant contradictions across documents—particularly in ERR figures, baseline method, and additionality verification—erode confidence in the data reliability.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Over 40 corrective actions logged in the verification report, including boundary misalignment (one wind turbine and portions of solar panels outside the project boundary), an expired ACM0002 methodology version, and a design change whose baseline implications were never properly assessed.
• ⚠The monitoring report (Dec 2025) reports a claimed ER of 70,111 tCO₂e while the verification report (Mar 2026) reports 177,874 tCO₂e for the same monitoring period—a 154% discrepancy with no documented explanation.
• ⚠The validation report (Jan 2026) records additionality as not verified by the VVB, directly contradicting the verification report (Mar 2026) which records it as verified.
• ⚠The PDD and an appendix disagree on the lifetime ex-ante ER (264,929 vs 296,753 tCO₂e), a 12% gap that affects all pro-rata comparisons.
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted, and the project's CORSIA and CCP eligibility status is not stated in any available document.
