Audit Analysis
The Süloğlu Wind Power Plant is a Gold Standard wind project with a fundamentally sound design (grid-displacement avoidance, no reversal risk), but the verification record reveals extensive data-quality issues including generation-data discrepancies across multiple months, calculation errors, and QA/QC misalignment with the registered PDD. The project delivered roughly 72% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the monitored period, which is conservative, yet the volume of material findings and corrective actions undermines confidence in the accuracy of the verified figures.
Red Flags
- 25+ material findings in the 2025 verification report, including discrepancies in electricity generation data for at least six months (Nov 2016, Apr 2016, Sep/Oct/Nov 2015, Sep 2016) between the monitoring report and EPIAS/meter records
- QA/QC procedures for the EGfacility,y parameter were not aligned with the registered PDD, and the project scenario criteria did not match methodology conditions
- Additionality verification status is contradictory: the 2021 verification report confirms VVB verification, but the 2024 validation report records it as not verified
- Leakage justification is recorded as 'not addressed' in the most recent verification report (2025), despite an earlier report (2021) indicating it was quantified
- SDG Impact Tool was not applied to determine SDG impacts, a Gold Standard requirement
