The approximate value of YEKA GES-2(Renewable Energy Resource Areas- Solar Power Plant 2 ) will be one billion dollars.

These thousand megawatt solar power plants will need to be prepared within 24 months and electricity production will start within 60 months.

 In the Renewable Energy Resource Areas project, which aims to establish a capacity of approximately one billion dollars in solar energy, a minimum efficiency of the cell should 21 percent and the panel should be 18 percent. These rates reflect the sector's highest efficiency criterion.

According to the information compiled by the AA correspondent from the tender specifications of YEKA GES-2, the last tender will be received on January 31st, 2019 until at 12:00. Companies can participate in this tender in the form of consortiums and business partnerships.

Unlike the previous solar YEKA project, the foreign investors will not be obliged to join Turkish partners in the YEKA GES-2 tender. At the same time, the factory and R & D investment requirement in the previous YEKA GES-1 specification is not required in the new tender. But 60 percent of the solar module, all plant components will be domestic.

According to the YEKA GES-2 specification prepared by following the price and efficiency trends in the sector, the solar YEKA areas will be located in Sanliurfa, Hatay and Nigde provinces, with 500 MW, 200 MW and 300 MW of capacity, respectively. Their cell efficiency will be 21 percent and panel efficiency is 18 percent. These rates include the highest criterion in terms of industrial productivity levels in the sector.

On the other hand, the ceiling price per kilowatt-hour will be set at $ 6.50 / cents. The company that won this tender will need to prepare the field within 24 months and start producing electricity within 60 months.

Total one thousand megawatt plants to be installed on three different sites, while producing 1.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, it will meet the electricity needs of 600 thousand households.

The announcement of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources regarding the YEKA GES-2 tender was published in the Official Gazette and the process was started. In the previous solar YEKA tender, the price of the ceiling is opened as $ 8/ cents per kilowatt hour, bidding at the tender price of $ 6.99/cent per hour as the best offer had been recorded.
