Audit Analysis
The Yalnizardiç Dam and Berat HEPP is a VCS-registered hydroelectric project in Turkey that delivered 144,547 tCO2e over a six-year monitoring period, exceeding the pro-rata expectation of its ten-year ex-ante estimate. While the jurisdictional baseline and conservative data sourcing (SCADA over EPIAS) are positive, the absence of a stated additionality test type, unconfirmed VVB additionality verification, and multiple documentation deficiencies (nine CARs, template non-compliance) limit confidence in the project's methodological rigor.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type and VVB confirmation of additionality are not stated in any available document, leaving a core methodological requirement unverified in the extracted record
- The verification report did not adhere to VCS template formatting and the site visit occurred prior to the first version of the monitoring report, raising procedural concerns
- Lack of assessment regarding the new data source (EPIAS) and associated double-counting risk was flagged as a material finding
- Project ownership changed from Albe Enerji to Akköy Enerji A.Ş. in January 2017 without sufficient description in the monitoring report
