SERTAVUL WPP

Audit Analysis

SERTAVUL WPP is a Gold Standard wind power project in Turkey with VVB-verified additionality (combined test) and no material findings or reversal events. However, five contradictions between the verification report, monitoring report, and PDD — most notably a 3.6× discrepancy in reported emissions reductions and conflicting baseline method labels — combined with low extraction confidence, create meaningful data-reliability concerns that temper an otherwise solid avoidance-credit profile.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Emissions reduction figures differ by a factor of ~3.6 between the monitoring report (39,181) and the verification report (141,800), with no documented explanation for the gap
• ⚠Baseline method is labelled 'project' in the verification report but 'jurisdictional' in the monitoring report, creating ambiguity about the baseline construction
• ⚠Crediting period differs between the verification report (2021-07-01 to 2026-06-30) and the monitoring report (2020-11-01 to 2025-10-31), raising questions about which period governs credit issuance
• ⚠Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) was not conducted, despite the project being in a community-adjacent setting in Turkey
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence across the document set is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
