GE to provide equipment for 100-MW solar project in Turkey

US industrial conglomerate General Electric (NYSE:GE) on Tuesday said it will provide its Flexinverter technology for a solar project with a capacity of 130 MWp, or 100 MW AC, in Turkey.

The contract has been awarded by Turkish renewables company Ecogreen Energy and covers design, engineering, procurement and commissioning of the Flexinverter Solar Power Station, which is a containerised product combining a solar inverter, medium voltage power transformer and an optional MV Ring Main Unit.

The project, called Nigde Bor Solar, will be built in Nigde, central Turkey. It is part of the YEKA-GES4 tender launched by Turkey’s energy ministry in 2022 and will help the country deploy 10 GW of solar capacity between 2017 and 2027, GE said.

According to the announcement, the Nigde Bor Solar scheme adds up to the 1.3 GW of solar projects the US company is delivering in Turkey.

As part of the supply and services contract, GE will partner with Inogen, which will perform the local works to fulfill the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) scope.
