Turkey’s First Licensed Floating Solar Power Plant is Now Operational!

 

The OVA Hybrid Solar Power Plant (GES) Project, a first of its kind in Turkey, has been successfully commissioned following the approval process by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.

 

Developed by OVA Enerji, a subsidiary of Erdem Holding, this innovative project is the first licensed floating solar power application in Turkey to be implemented under the hybrid regulation framework.

 

Installed as an auxiliary source to the 13.5 MW OVA Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) located on the Sakarya River, the 2 MW floating solar power system not only increases renewable energy production but also offers an environmentally friendly solution by reducing surface water evaporation.

 

Project supervision and owner’s engineering services were provided by SUSOL Enerji and RAMIRA Enerji, while the plant installation was carried out by Tegnatia EPC Solutions. With its technical competence, project integrity, and implementation model, the OVA Hybrid Solar Power Plant sets a technological and regulatory benchmark for the sector.

 

We hope this significant step toward sustainability and innovation in energy will bring prosperity to our country and our people.
