Polat Enerji Selects Contractor for 10-MW Battery Project

• Polat Enerji taps T Dinamik Enerji AS for a cutting-edge 10-MW battery storage system, boosting Turkey’s renewable energy efficiency and reliability at its hybrid wind-solar site.

Polat Enerji has chosen T Dinamik Enerji AS as the EPC contractor to install a 10-MW/13.4-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Turkey. This development aims to enhance energy management and efficiency at a hybrid renewable energy site combining wind and solar power.

The new battery system is expected to support the integration of renewable energy sources and improve reliability for power generation at Polat Enerji's facility. The investment aligns with Turkey's growing focus on renewable energy solutions and advanced storage technologies to meet its increasing energy demands.

How will Polat Enerji's new BESS impact Turkey's renewable energy strategy?

• Enhancement of Renewable Energy Integration: The BESS will facilitate better management of energy production from Polat Enerji's solar and wind resources, allowing excess energy generated during peak production times to be stored and used during periods of low generation. This will reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote a more sustainable energy mix.
• Support for Grid Stability: The ability to store and dispatch energy on demand will contribute to grid stability, especially as the proportion of intermittent renewable energy sources in Turkey's energy mix increases. This stabilization is crucial for minimizing disruptions in energy supply.
• Facilitation of Policy Goals: With Turkey aiming to increase its renewable energy share to 30% by 2030, the implementation of battery storage systems like this one will be pivotal in achieving national energy targets. It reflects the commitment to diversify energy sources and invest in clean technology.
• Economic Opportunities: The deployment of energy storage solutions presents new economic opportunities in Turkey's renewable sector. This includes job creation in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of battery systems, thereby contributing to local economies and promoting a green workforce.
• Encouragement of Further Investments: Polat Enerji's project can serve as a model for other companies and investors. With successful implementation, it may attract further investments in both energy storage technologies and renewable energy projects across Turkey, bolstering the country’s reputation as a leader in renewable energy in the region.
• Climate Change Mitigation: By enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy use and reducing carbon emissions from fossil fuel reliance, the BESS will contribute to Turkey's efforts to meet international climate agreements and commitments aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• Enhanced Energy Security: By incorporating storage solutions, Turkey can mitigate energy supply risks, particularly during peak consumption periods or emergencies. This bolsters national energy security and reduces the vulnerability associated with depending solely on foreign energy sources.
• Research and Development Boost: The introduction of advanced energy storage systems like the 10-MW BESS can spur innovation and research in related technologies, further enhancing Turkey's capacity to produce and implement cutting-edge renewable energy solutions.
• Community Benefits: The project may lead to lower energy costs for consumers and increase the reliability of power supply, providing direct benefits to communities surrounding Polat Enerji’s hybrid energy site.
• Alignment with Global Trends: The initiative aligns with worldwide movements towards decarbonization and sustainable energy practices. By investing in proven technologies such as battery energy storage, Turkey can position itself as part of the global transition to more sustainable energy systems.
