West Bakr Wind Farm Project

Audit Analysis

The West Bakr Wind Farm is a Gold Standard wind project with VVB-confirmed additionality and a conservative ERR delivery (76% of pro-rata expectation), but it is undermined by five cross-document contradictions, nine outstanding corrective actions, and a low extraction confidence rating that collectively erode confidence in the underlying data. The project's wind-energy nature limits reversal risk, yet the inconsistent baseline classification and contradictory leakage treatment introduce material uncertainty into the credit quantity.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Five contradictions across documents, including a 43,611 tCO2 discrepancy in verified ERR between the 2024 and 2025 verification reports (464,178 vs 421,567), and a baseline method conflict (project vs jurisdictional) between the 2025 verification and monitoring reports
• ⚠Nine corrective actions remain open, including missing commissioning certificate, PPA, O&M agreement, calibration certificates for all four energy meters, and missing invoices for three months in 2022
• ⚠Leakage justification is contradictory: the 2024 verification report states leakage was 'not addressed' while the 2025 report claims it was 'quantified,' yet the deduction remains 0%
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable or incomplete
