/18th January 2016, News by Turgut Cankorel, Renewable Energy World/
Turkey’s energy regulator granted its first ever solar license in late December 2015. It is a 49-year generation license granted to Turkish developer Solentegre Enerji Yatirimlari, for an 8 MW facility to be installed in the eastern province of Elazig. Turkish regulators held tenders for solar capacity in various regions of the country in 2014 and 2015. Where multiple applications were received for the same substation, a bidding process determined the winner. For the Elazig project the developer bid TL 827,000 (present equivalent of US$280,000) per MW for the license.
