What happened
Türkiye’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority, known as EPDK, has ended the generation licences previously associated with the Sivaslı-1 and Karahallı-1 storage-integrated solar power projects. It has granted replacement generation licences for both projects to Timur Yenilenebilir Enerji Üretim AŞ.
The new licences each have a duration of 48 years, 11 months and 17 days. According to Enerji Günlüğü, the new authorisations were issued as continuations of the earlier licensing arrangements rather than as entirely separate project licences.
The regulatory decisions are dated 10 September 2026. The earlier licences for Sivaslı-1 and Karahallı-1 had been issued to Elektrik İnşaat Enerji AŞ and Egesa Elektrik İnşaat AŞ, respectively.
Why it matters
The decisions make Timur Yenilenebilir Enerji Üretim AŞ the licensed generation entity for both named projects. For developers, lenders, suppliers and other parties reviewing the projects’ regulatory status, Timur is now the company identified on the replacement licences.
The two projects are described as storage-backed solar facilities. Their inclusion in the same licensing decision set means that the regulatory change applies to both Sivaslı-1 and Karahallı-1, with the same stated licence term for each.
The source does not provide project capacity, construction status, commissioning dates or details of the storage systems. It also does not set out any further conditions attached to the replacement licences beyond their stated duration and continuation of the previous arrangements.
Licence record changes
The key administrative change is the termination of the earlier authorisations and the issue of new generation licences in Timur’s name. The decisions concern the licences for the projects, rather than a reported change to their technical specifications.
Companies maintaining project, counterparty or regulatory records should update the licence holder for both projects and retain the 10 September 2026 decision date alongside the stated licence duration.
What to watch
No subsequent regulatory milestones or delivery timetable are included in the available report. Any assessment of progress towards construction or operation would require information beyond the licence decisions reported by Enerji Günlüğü.
