Üçpinar Wind Power Project, Turkey

Audit Analysis

The Üçpinar Wind Power Project is a registered VCS renewable energy project with a solid combined additionality test confirmed by the VVB, a jurisdictional baseline reassessed in 2025, and no reversal events. However, the project record contains nine cross-document contradictions, 31 corrective action requests (all closed), and several key parameters (FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA/CCP status) remain unstated, limiting full confidence in the MRV chain.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Nine contradictions across documents, including conflicting baseline method (jurisdictional vs project-specific), FPIC status (conducted vs not conducted), and benefit-sharing description (present vs absent), indicating inconsistent record-keeping over time
• ⚠31 Corrective Action Requests raised during verification, including missing baseline calculation in the monitoring report, inconsistencies in MR values for cut-out wind speed and net electricity generation, and an undisclosed project start-date deviation
• ⚠FNRB value, usage monitoring method, CORSIA eligibility, and CCP status are all not stated in the available documents, leaving key claim-safety parameters unverified
• ⚠Grid emission factor is from 2017; no evidence of periodic grid EF updates is found in the extracted record
