GE Vernova Received Contract from Kalyon PV for 157 MW Solar Project in Turkey

Introduction:

GE Vernova Inc. announced it has signed a contract with Kalyon PV to supply its FLEXINVERTERTM solar power station, as well as design and engineering services, to Kalyon PV in Viransehir, Turkey.

Features:

GE Vernova’s solar power station is expected to power Kalyon Enerji’s 157 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaics (PV) factory, making Kalyon Enerji one of the first companies in Turkey to produce solar panels using 100% renewable electricity when commissioned.

With 2.5 GWp/1.9 GWe of combined solar power capacity in Turkey, including commissioned and ongoing projects, GE Vernova’s FLEXINVERTERTM technology is playing a pivotal role in the development of Turkey’s solar industry.

This collaboration builds upon an existing relationship, leveraging the success of Kalyon Enerji’s 1,347 MWp/1,000 MWe Karapinar solar power plant in the Konya Karapinar province, which deployed GE Vernova's FLEXINVERTERTM solar technology. Commissioned in 2023, the Karapinar facility is Turkey’s largest single source of solar power to date.

The project was part of the first Turkish solar YEKA GES tender launched in 2017 by the Turkish Ministry of Energy under the Renewable Energy Resources Zones (YEKA) program that streamlines the development of large-scale solar and wind farms.
