Audit Analysis
The Uluborlu Wind Power Plant is a Gold Standard wind project with a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test and no reversal events, but its documentation is severely undermined by over 30 corrective actions, multiple cross-document contradictions, and significant gaps in stakeholder consultation and SPP-related information. The project's core technical design is sound for a wind avoidance project, yet the volume of unresolved issues raises meaningful concerns about data reliability and process rigor.
Red Flags
- Over 30 corrective actions logged in the 2024 verification report, including missing CP1 validation report, incomplete IRR calculations, missing stakeholder consultation records, and absent SPP documentation
- Contradiction in additionality test type within the same monitoring report (2020): described as both 'investment' and 'combined'
- Baseline method contradicts between the PDD (jurisdictional, 2018) and the 2022 verification report (project-specific)
- FPIC explicitly not conducted, despite safeguards and grievance mechanism being present
- Grid emission factor sourced from 2012–2014 data, which is over a decade old at the time of the 2024 verification
