MIS Enerji Üretim A.S. plans to establish a solar power plant to meet the internal power consumption of the geothermal power plant in Alasehir, Turkey.
As reported locally, Turkish MIS Enerji Üretim A.S., owned by SOYAK Group, plans to establish a solar power plant to meet the internal consumption of the geothermal power plant in Alasehir.
Following the clarification of the regulation for hybrid power plants, businesses that own Geothermal Power Plants (JES) are evaluating hybrid power plant investments to meet their domestic consumption.
According to the news in the Enerji Günlügü, MIS Enerji Üretim A.S. will invest in a Solar Power Plant (GES) as an auxiliary energy source.
Similar efforts have been made in the United States, e.g. by Ormat in Nevada, where the company utilises solar power from installation near the geothermal power plant to top up power supply during the hottest time of the day which sees lower efficiency of the geothermal plant.
The company anticipates that the investment for the Solar Power Plant (GES) with a capacity of 7.20 MWe, planned to meet the domestic consumption needs of its 48 MW GPP in Manisa Ala?ehir, will be $7.6 million.
According to the information in the news, the GES power plant will be built on an area of approximately 131.4 thousand square meters within the M?S-2 GPP project area, the construction of which has been abandoned. The power plant is expected to produce 14,188,081.45 kWh of electricity annually.
