What happened

Alanya Özkaymak Turizm İşletmeciliği is proposing the E-Zone wind energy project alongside an energy-storage facility across the provincial boundaries of Antalya and Burdur in Türkiye. According to Enerji Günlüğü, the planned wind plant would have 122.4 MW of installed capacity, while the storage component would provide 122.4 MWh.

The company has put the investment estimate at TRY 2.656 billion. Its plan covers Söbüce neighbourhood in Korkuteli, Antalya, and the Belenli and Yakalar village areas in Kemer, Burdur.

The development is expected to comprise 17 wind turbines. The report says the storage installation would use nickel-metal technology.

Annual electricity generation and storage are projected at 489.6 GWh. Output would be delivered into Türkiye’s national interconnected electricity system through a 400 kV link at the Likya basin substation.

Why it matters

The proposal combines utility-scale wind generation with a co-located storage asset, with the two facilities carrying the same numerical capacity figure in their respective units: 122.4 MW for generation and 122.4 MWh for storage. The distinction is material for project assessment, as MW describes installed generating power while MWh measures energy-storage capacity.

Its proposed grid route is also central to the scheme. Rather than serving only a specified local customer or site, the project is intended to export electricity through a high-voltage connection into the national network.

For developers, suppliers and grid stakeholders, the disclosed components to monitor are the 17-turbine wind plant, the nickel-metal storage system and the 400 kV connection at Likya basin substation. The stated annual 489.6 GWh figure covers electricity described by the source as generated and stored.

What's next

The available information identifies the company’s intention to construct and operate both the wind facility and the storage installation, but does not give dates for construction, commissioning or commercial operation. Readers tracking the proposal should watch for further disclosures on project timing, permits and progress towards the planned grid connection.
