Case study · Türk Telekom · Turkcell

We accelerated the move of Türkiye's telecom infrastructure to renewable energy.

On Türk Telekom's and Turkcell's solar investments we took on different roles, according to the stage each investment had reached.

What the project aims at

Telecom companies are investing in solar energy to meet the electricity needs of their operations from renewable sources.

Our role

We acted as owner's engineer on a new plant, carried out the commissioning tests on plants entering operation, and performed technical due diligence before acquisitions.

Türk Telekom · Zara solar plant, Sivas: owner's engineering

On Türk Telekom's Zara solar project we worked from the first technical assessments through to acceptance testing. We gave our opinion on the tender and technical documents, supported the preparation of the tender and assessed the bids technically. We reviewed the EPC contractor's designs and supervised its work on site on the owner's behalf throughout construction. Once the plant was complete we carried out the acceptance tests, the I-V measurements and the thermal inspections.

The Zara plant in Sivas is expected to generate around 200 million kWh a year, about 15 percent of the Türk Telekom Group's annual electricity consumption. It is among the largest renewable energy facilities in Türkiye.
