Asunim Turkey, a member of the Asunim group
together with strategic partner Phoenix Solar AG (Sulzemoos, Germany)
have been jointly awarded an order by Akfen Renewable Energy, a large
Turkish conglomerate, to build a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant with a
total capacity of 10.2 MWp in Elazığ in Eastern Turkey.
The PV project will be implemented in
partnership with European Development Bank (EBRD) for which it is the
first PV project ever in Turkey. The Elazığ photovoltaic power plant
also is the first governmentally licensed project to be built in Turkey.
After completion the system will be the largest solar PV plant in Turkey
This includes the permission to build it as one
large complex instead of as an array of single 1-MW-systems.
Accordingly, the system will be the largest solar photovoltaic power
plant in Turkey.
Asunim who have also been developing the project
over the last four years will take on the actual construction. After
completion, which is scheduled for September, 2016, the partners will
also be in charge of operation and maintenance. The electricity will be
sold to the grid.
“We are proud to have been awarded this second large
project by Akfen Renewable Energies which also is another step forward
in developing the solar energy road map of our country,” said Umut
Gürbüz, spokesman for Asunim Turkey.
“It will contribute to consolidate and increase our
already high market share in Turkey. In spite of the difficult terrain
conditions, we have already begun with the mobilization work for the
installation and are confident to deliver the project on time in
cooperation with our partners at Phoenix Solar.”
