Van Solar Power Project

Audit Analysis

The Van Solar Power Project is a registered VCS renewable energy project with confirmed additionality and no reversal events, but it carries moderate integrity and documentation concerns stemming from a project-specific baseline, a large volume of corrective actions (26 CARs, 14 CLs, 3 FARs at validation), and low extraction confidence across the document set. The ERR figures for the 2022–2024 monitoring period are internally consistent (claimed equals verified at 66,006 tCO₂e), and the 0% leakage deduction is reasonable for a solar PV project. Overall, the project is functional but its data quality and documentation depth fall short of best practice.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠26 CARs, 14 CLs, and 3 FARs were raised during validation, indicating significant documentation and data-quality gaps at project inception
• ⚠Min extraction confidence is rated low, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable, undermining confidence in the extracted record
• ⚠Project-specific baseline method (not jurisdictional) with no stated baseline reassessment date, limiting baseline robustness
• ⚠Grid emission factor of 0.5676 tCO₂/MWh is from 2016 and may not reflect current Turkish grid conditions
