The purpose of the establishment of Yapısan Electricity Generation Inc.
is to develop, construct and operate hydro and wind power plants in
Turkey according to the Electricity Market Law No: 4628. In this
respect, Yapısan Electricity Generation Inc. is the pioneer company that
obtained generation license for its project from EMRA and started
operation after the liberalization of the Turkish electric market.
This project is Hacılar HEPP with an installed capacity of 14MW located
within the borders of Malatya-Darende province. Construction and
erection works were completed in less than 21 months and the plant was
put under operation on June 11th 2003.
The generation licenses of Darıca HEPP and Karıca Weir are owned by Yapısan
Electricity Generation Inc. The project is under construction since 2007 and
is expected to be under operation in the first quarter of 2009.
The company is operating Turkey’s first privately owned and currently
the biggest wind farm Bandırma WEPP (also known as BARES II). With
an installed capacity of 30MW and an average annual generation of
120 million kWh, Bandırma WEPP is under operation since by the end
of May 2006. The generated energy is being sold to free energy market
and 3rd party wholesale companies.
Yapısan Electricity Generation Inc. also develops new wind power
projects by conducting wind measurement studies at various places in
Turkey. Among those studies two locations (ZEYTINELI
II WEPP within the borders İzmir/Cesme province and Aliağa WEPP
within the borders of Aliağa province) were chosen and related
feasibility and evaluation reports of those projects were prepared by
England based firm Garrad-Hassan Consultancy.
Licenses have been awarded for each of these projects by EMRA
(Energy Market Regulation Authority). Aliağa WEPP will be constructed by
Bergama WEPP Inc., a company of Bilgin Group, and expected to be under operation in
2009. Zeytineli WEPP will be constructed by Yapısan Electricity Inc. and expected
to be under operation in 2010.
Yapısan Electricity Inc. has been working on new Hydropower projects.
Application and feasibility studies of these projects have been ongoing. |
