Harbin Electric Corporation (HE) and Turkiye-based Progresiva Energy Investments inked an EPC contract for a 250 MW/1000 MWh energy storage project on Feb 21.
The project will be located in Tekirdag Province, West Istanbul, about 35 kilometers from Turkiye’s connection point to the European Power Exchange.
Wind power is planned to be the main energy resource of the project.
The project is designed with a system power of 250 megawatts and a maximum energy storage capacity of 1 GWh, making it the first of its kind capable of storing such amounts of energy.
The project will be of great significance in guaranteeing Turkiye’s energy security and will improve the country’s stance in the energy industry in the region. It is also expected to contribute to achieving the country’s goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2053.
