Pairing PV with wind and hydroelectric plants could unlock 8 GW of solar capacity in Turkey, bypassing grid constrains, according to think tank Ember.
Ember''s data shows that solar and wind complement each other very well in Turkey, especially in the summer. Wind production dips in the early morning, while solar systems start up and peak
As of 2023, all 240 hybrid power plants in Türkiye, operational or planned, integrated solar energy as an auxiliary source, the analysis noted.
The newest hybrid power plant in Turkey consists of wind turbines of 168 MW and a solar park with 46.6 MW in capacity. Polat Enerji is about to expand the Geycek facility with a 10 MW battery energy storage
