What happened
PVS Enerji is proposing the Korkuteli Depolamalı Güneş Enerji Santrali in the Çimli neighbourhood of Akseki, Antalya. The development is designed with 100 MWe of installed solar capacity and an estimated investment value of roughly TRY 1.32 billion.
Alongside the solar plant, the company plans an electricity storage facility with a stated total rating of 100 MWe/MWh. The proposed storage technology is lithium-ion batteries. The solar installation would use 500 Wp monocrystalline photovoltaic modules fixed at an optimum angle.
The project is expected to generate 200 million kWh of electricity a year. Its proposed grid arrangement would connect to the Seydişehir-Manavgat 154 kV transmission line through an in-and-out connection. Energy could be routed to the battery system when required and subsequently returned.
For sustainability and energy-market teams, the immediate action is to treat the development as a proposal rather than committed capacity: the available information gives technical specifications and an investment estimate, but not a delivery timetable.
Why it matters
The plan would pair utility-scale photovoltaic generation with battery storage at a single site in Antalya. The storage element is intended to retain electricity for later return, rather than requiring all production to be supplied directly when generated.
The proposal identifies prospective requirements for solar modules, lithium-ion battery equipment and high-voltage grid infrastructure. However, the source does not state whether construction has begun, when it could enter service, or what approvals remain.
Its 200 million kWh annual generation estimate and planned 154 kV connection provide the main available indicators of the project’s intended scale. They should not be interpreted as confirmed operational output or a confirmed commissioning date.
What to watch
Further disclosures may clarify the project’s permitting status, construction programme and operating date. They may also provide additional detail on the storage system’s usable capacity and the arrangements for the planned transmission connection.
