Tayakadın Wind Power Project, Turkey

Audit Analysis

The Tayakadın Wind Power Project is a straightforward renewable-energy avoidance project with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversals, but it is undermined by a project-specific baseline, the absence of a stated buffer pool, and an unusually large number of corrective actions (over 30) that point to significant documentation-quality issues. ERR figures are internally consistent between the monitoring and verification reports for the current period, though a contradiction within the same monitoring report (130,832 vs 79,970 tCO₂e) raises a data-reliability flag. Overall the project is credible in concept but carries moderate execution and documentation risk.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Over 30 corrective actions were required in the verification report, including typos in dates, inconsistent meter serial numbers, missing calibration evidence, and unresolved stakeholder-conflict clarifications — indicating weak internal quality control.
• ⚠A contradiction within the same monitoring report (dated 2025-12-05) shows two different claimed ERR values (130,832 and 79,970 tCO₂e), raising a data-integrity question that is not resolved in the verification report.
• ⚠The PDD dates from August 2017 while the grid emission factor was updated to a 2019 value; the baseline has not been formally reassessed in the extracted record, and the project-specific baseline method adds uncertainty relative to a jurisdictional baseline.
