プロジェクト概要
The purpose of Söke – Çatalbük Wind Power Project is to use wind energy potential in Turkey and compensate energy requirements in a sustainable and cost-effective way. The Project of ABK Enerji Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. (hereafter referred to as ABK), Söke – Çatalbük Wind Power Project (hereafter referred to as the Project) involves installing and operating 15 turbines with a rated power output of 2 MW which suits the local conditions of Yenidoğan Municipality of Söke District in the province of Aydın, Turkey. The generation of a total capacity of 30 MWe is connected to a switchyard. The voltage is stepped up to 154 kV and the power is fed to the grid through Söke Substation of the Turkish Electricity Transmission Company (TEİAŞ).
ABK has granted a generation license as IPP for a 30 MW wind power plant by EMRA, and this license was issued in December 2007. An "Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Is Not Required" certificate was granted on 21 March 2008 by the Aydın Governorship.
An estimated generation of 89 GWh per year by the efficient use of the available wind energy by project activity replaces grid electricity comprised of different fuel sources — mainly fossil fuels. The electricity produced by project activity will result in an annual emission reduction of 55,162 tonnes of CO2e. Moreover, project activities will contribute to further dissemination of wind energy and the extension of national power generation.
