This week, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency awarded
a grant to Turcas BM Kuyucak Jeotermal Elektrik Üretim A. Ş. (TBK), a Turkish
joint venture owned primarily by BM Holding and Turcas Energy Holding.
The grant funds a feasibility study that will evaluate the technical and
financial specifications for a geothermal energy project designed to supply
13.2 Megawatts (MW) of renewable energy to the Turkish electrical grid.
The
new facility will utilize modern and efficient technology for generating electricity
from geothermal, a clean and renewable energy source that is becoming
increasingly important in the composition of Turkey’s energy portfolio.
“We
are very proud to have supported, either directly or indirectly, a substantial
amount of Turkey’s
more than 300 MW of operational geothermal energy,” said USTDA Country Manager
Heather Lanigan. “This project in Kuyucak will expand on that success,
and will also build upon USTDA’s continued efforts to support renewable energy
deployment in Turkey.”
