Audit Analysis
The Saros Wind Power Plant is a straightforward renewable energy avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality, a jurisdictional baseline, and no reversal risk. The 2025 verification report confirms ERR delivery at approximately 95% of the pro-rata expectation, indicating no over-crediting. However, the absence of FPIC, several unstated eligibility fields (CORSIA, CCP), and a set of 10 corrective actions related to documentation accuracy temper the overall assessment.
Red Flags
- FPIC was not conducted despite the project being in Turkey, a country with indigenous and local community considerations
- Seven contradictions across documents (leakage justification, baseline method, ERR figures, additionality test type, grievance mechanism, crediting period) indicate evolving project documentation that required multiple corrections
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any available document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
