The photovoltaic power generation project of the Hunutlu Power Plant in Turkiye, with an installed capacity of 21MW, was connected to grid on Thursday May 25, said its operator State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC).

The solar power project can provide approximately 33.39 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to powering 6,677 households. It will also save approximately 10,179 metric tons of standard coal and reduce pollutant emissions by approximately 27,789.60 tons, said the company.

The photovoltaic power generation project will further lift the economic competitiveness of the plat while effectively reducing station service power consumption rates, it said.

The company has been actively coming up with more renewable power generation capacities affiliated with the Hunutlu Power Plant, against the backdrop of the global green energy transition.

It is currently carrying out the construction of the second and third phase of the photovoltaic project, aiming to increase the installed capacity of renewable energy and making the power plant greener.
