Asunim, Phoenix Solar to build the first licenced PV plant in Turkey

 Asunim Turkey reference PV plant

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.”
