IC Enterra Showcases Turkey solar park: Discover the Amazing 100-MW Project Transforming Energy in Hatay
In a significant boost to TĂĽrkiye’s renewable energy sector, IC Enterra Renewable Energy has officially launched its 100-megawatt (MW) YEKA Erzin-2 Solar Power Plant. Located in Hatay Province, this landmark project marks a crucial step forward in the country’s clean energy transition. The plant, which operates under a 30-year license, is projected to generate an average of 248,000 MWh of electricity annually, providing a substantial source of clean power to the national grid.
The development was made possible through a strategic $65 million financing package from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Industrial Development Bank of Turkey (TSKB). Awarded in June 2022 under TĂĽrkiye’s successful Renewable Energy Resource Zone (YEKA) program, the project benefits from a stable, inflation- and foreign exchange-indexed tariff. This framework is designed to de-risk investment and encourage the rapid deployment of utility-scale projects.

The YEKA program has been instrumental in positioning TĂĽrkiye as a leader in renewable energy generation, helping the nation surpass its 2025 solar capacity targets well ahead of schedule. By creating competitive tenders for large-scale solar and wind projects, the government has cultivated a vibrant market that attracts significant international and domestic capital.
