Rolls-Royce wins large-scale mtu battery storage order for wind
Rolls-Royce has been awarded a contract by Polat Enerji, one of Turkiye''s leading investors in the renewable energy sector, to supply a large-scale battery energy storage
In 2018, Turkey's first large-scale battery plant was established in Manisa, integrated with a wind power station. During the following year, Turkey's first grid-connected solar energy and storage facility came into operation in Konya, showcasing simultaneous solar energy generation and battery storage.
Moreover, there have been significant investments in battery technologies, specifically targeting the storage and the effective use of energy from volatile sources such as wind and solar power. Various projects are underway to integrate energy storage systems into smart grid infrastructure.
Electricity storage facilities can be established in different ways depending on the licence types of legal entities operating in the electricity market. Storage facilities with a maximum installed capacity of 1 MW can also be established by technology development zones and industrial zones for use in their R&D activities.
The first legal provision on storage activities in Turkish law was introduced with the subparagraph (e) added to Article 14 of the Electricity Market Law No 6,446 (EML) with the amendment dated 21 March 2018. With the relevant amendment, storage activities have been regulated as an activity which can generally be conducted without a licence.
