Score Breakdown

Integrity

verified The validation/verification documentation indicates additionality was confirmed by the VVB using a common-practice assessment.

missing The monitoring report (2023) flags significant conflict-related damage risk, yet no buffer pool or reversal management is documented in the extracted record.

Transparency

verified The monitoring report (2023) clearly states the monitoring period (2019-05-01 to 2023-04-30) and identifies the VVB.

missing The extracted record does not include claimed or verified ER totals, nor the grid emission factor/year used for calculations.

Claim Safety

verified The project applies a widely used grid-connected renewable methodology (ACM0002 v21.0), which can reduce methodological discretion when fully documented.

missing CORSIA and CCP status are not stated in available documents, and missing ER/EF details increase over-crediting and marketing-claim risk.

Documentation

verified Three core documents are available (PDD, validation report, monitoring report) with high extraction confidence.

missing The extracted record lacks key quantitative fields (ERs, grid EF, leakage deduction), indicating incomplete disclosure in the available dataset.

Detailed Analysis

Integrity

The validation/verification documentation indicates additionality was confirmed by the VVB using a common-practice test. The baseline is described as project-specific in the extracted record, and the timing of any baseline reassessment is not stated in available documents. The monitoring report (2023) explicitly notes major conflict-related risks (missile attacks and grid damage), but no buffer pool percentage, reversal provisions, or reversal events accounting is documented in the extracted record.

Transparency

The monitoring report (2023-08-03) provides a clear monitoring period (2019-05-01 to 2023-04-30) and names the VVB (Re Carbon Gözetim Denetim ve Belgelendirme Ltd. Şti.). However, the extracted record does not include total emission reductions claimed or verified, and does not provide the grid emission factor or the year used, which are central to reproducibility for ACM0002 projects. Leakage treatment is also not described, reducing MRV transparency.

Claim Safety

Because total ERs (claimed and verified) and the grid emission factor inputs are not found in the extracted record, there is elevated risk that external claims could overstate quantified impact. Leakage is not addressed in the monitoring documentation, with no deduction or justification stated, which increases uncertainty even for a wind project. CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in available documents, so buyers cannot readily rely on these labels for low-greenwashing risk claims.

Documentation

The extracted record includes a PDD, validation report, and monitoring report, and the minimum extraction confidence is high, supporting a solid documentation score. No material findings or corrective actions are reported in the extracted record, which is a positive signal for audit outcomes. Still, several key quantitative fields (ER totals, grid EF/year, leakage deduction) are missing from the extracted dataset, limiting completeness for independent review.

Overall

No contradictions were identified in the extracted record, so there is no need to privilege one document over another. The project benefits from VVB-confirmed additionality and a standard methodology, but the absence of ER totals and core calculation inputs materially reduces confidence in the credited quantity and increases claim risk. The explicit war-related damage risk noted in the monitoring report (2023) without documented buffer/reversal handling further weighs on integrity.

Audit Analysis

The project has a clear renewable-energy methodology (ACM0002 v21.0) and additionality is confirmed by the VVB, with no material findings or corrective actions reported. However, key quantification elements (verified ERs, grid emission factor details, leakage treatment, and baseline reassessment timing) are not present in the extracted record, and conflict-related physical and grid risks are explicitly noted without a corresponding permanence/reversal treatment.

Project Description

Ovid Wind Farm Project (WFP) is a renewable type of wind power plant, located in Odesa in Ukraine with an operation start date of 1 May 2019. The purpose of the project is to provide renewable electricity to the Ukraine grid through harnessing wind energy. Project aims reducing the dependency on fossil fuel based electricity generation in Ukraine, hence reducing the local environmental pollution and contributing to combatting global climate change. Ovid WFP is a large scale project activity with an installed capacity of 32.67 MW, providing 115,428.17 MWh/year clean electricity to the Ukraine grid system, and achieving 74,239 tCO2 of emission reduction annually. Project activity is expected to achieve 742,390 tCO2 emission reductions during the 10-year crediting period.

Red Flags

Verified and claimed emission reductions are not found in the extracted record, limiting confidence in credit quantity.
Leakage is not addressed in the monitoring documentation, with no stated leakage deduction or justification.
Reversal/force majeure risk is explicitly highlighted due to the war context, but no buffer pool or reversal management approach is documented in the extracted record.

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

Disclose and/or extract the verified and claimed ER totals for the 2019–2023 monitoring period, including the full calculation workbook and the grid emission factor value and reference year used under ACM0002.
Provide explicit leakage assessment and justification (even if negligible) and document any risk management approach for conflict-related damage (e.g., insurance, contingency plans, or any buffer/issuance controls if applicable).
