ASUNIM TURKEY AND AKFEN HOLDING INK AGREEMENT FOR TWO 10MW LICENSED SOLAR POWER PLANTS
The systems will generate approximately 20300 MWh
per year and are another two of the few licensed systems that will be grid
connected in 2018.
After a successful implementation of Akfen’s first
8MWn licensed system in Elazığ in 2016 and after recently signing another 9MWn
license with YBT Enerji, Asunim is very proud to add these new references to
its EPC and Operation and Maintenance portfolio.
Asunim is a highly active and consistent EPC company
in the Turkish solar market that just signed another 9MW license with YBT
Enerji. The dedicated international engineering team of
Asunim has a long track record of successful systems design and implementation,
using cutting-edge
3D modelling and simulation software to correctly elaborate extremely important
shading and counter slope calculations.
Managing partner of Asunim Turkey, Mr. Umut Gürbüz
stated: “We are delighted that Akfen have chosen to continue to work with us,
it is an extremely important reference that our approach to EPC in Turkey is
well established. Like all our other projects, these systems feature
the best industrial equipment and we employ installation, operation,
maintenance and monitoring according to highest standard of European norms and
many years of experience. Each 10MWn site of Akfen is estimated to
generate up to 20.3 million kWh electricity per year. Operation
and Maintenance activities will be covered by Maxima Enerji, affiliate O&M Company
of Asunim, managing our whole portfolio and systems built by third parties
that, due to the current consolidation in the Turkish market, are no longer
active market participants”.
The licensed systems, with a capacity of 12 MWp
each, will be installed in Konya Province, Turkey. Project planning,
engineering steps and system installation are scheduled to be concluded within the
next 5 months.
Asunim is currently one of the leading EPC companies
in Turkey and has so far concluded projects of 140MW with a separate and clear
structure committed for long-term O&M commitments.
