Yuntdag Wind Power Project, Turkey

Audit Analysis

The Yuntdag Wind Power Project is a mature, VVB-verified wind facility in Turkey with confirmed additionality and reasonable leakage treatment, but its long history of corrective actions across multiple verification cycles, a project-specific baseline (contradicted by the monitoring report's 'jurisdictional' label), and low document extraction confidence temper confidence in data reliability. The project delivered approximately 93% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the current monitoring period, indicating conservative rather than inflated crediting.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Extensive history of corrective actions spanning verification cycles from 2008 to 2025, including missing meter data, calculation errors, and documentation gaps, indicating chronic monitoring quality issues
• ⚠Baseline method contradiction: the 2025 verification report classifies the baseline as 'project' while the 2025 monitoring report describes it as 'jurisdictional', creating ambiguity about the baseline's robustness
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, meaning at least one key document was poorly readable and data completeness cannot be fully confirmed
• ⚠FPIC was not conducted (stated as false in the verification report), though a grievance mechanism and benefit-sharing arrangement are in place
