*Rotor Elektrik Uretim Osmaniye Wind Farm

Audit Analysis

The Osmaniye Wind Farm is a Gold Standard wind project with confirmed additionality (investment test, VVB-verified) and a jurisdictional baseline, but it is undermined by a 26% under-delivery relative to its period estimate, an extensive list of unresolved corrective actions, a contradictory FPIC record, and low extraction confidence across 45 source documents. The core carbon-credit mechanics are sound for a wind project, yet documentation quality and data consistency issues materially weaken confidence in the verified figures.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Verified emission reductions (173,490 tCO₂e) are 26.08% below the project's own estimate (234,705 tCO₂e) for the same monitoring period, attributed to wind speed and seasonal effects
• ⚠FPIC status is contradictory: the 2013 verification report records FPIC as conducted, while the 2024 PDD records it as not conducted
• ⚠Dozens of corrective action requests (CARs), clarification requests (CRs), and comments (CLs) remain in the verification record, including missing commissioning certificates, calibration records, HSE records, and a log book that was absent during the onsite visit
• ⚠Grid emission factor changed from 0.5471 (March 2025 verification) to 0.6323 (December 2025 verification) within the same crediting period, raising questions about baseline consistency
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable
