Audit Analysis
The Sah Wind Power Plant is a Gold Standard wind project in Turkey with a solid additionality case (investment test, VVB-verified) and a reasonable pro-rata delivery of approximately 82% of the expected emission reductions for the elapsed monitoring period. However, the project carries a notable number of inter-document contradictions (10 identified), multiple open corrective actions, and a 0% leakage deduction whose justification is inconsistent across verification reports, which collectively moderate confidence in the data record.
Red Flags
- Ten inter-document contradictions identified, including FPIC status (conducted per 2021 verification report vs. not conducted per 2023 PDD), baseline method (project-specific per 2026 VR vs. jurisdictional per 2020 monitoring report), and leakage justification (quantified per 2026 VR vs. deemed negligible per 2024 VR)
- Multiple corrective actions and compliance-level findings remain open or require monitoring in the next verification period (CAR 1–4, CL 01, FAR 01 referenced in the 2026 verification report)
- Leakage deduction of 0% with contradictory justifications across two verification reports; no buffer pool percentage stated in the extracted record

Risk Indicators
Investment test, VVB-verified
Low inherent risk (wind), but not explicitly addressed in latest VR
0% deduction with contradictory justification across reports
Combined Margin method, reassessed 2025, but project-specific vs. jurisdictional inconsistency
FPIC and grievance mechanism reported, but FPIC status contradicted in PDD
CORSIA and CCP status not stated; dual-channel risk unassessed
