What happened
Turkey’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority, EPDK, has granted Reis RS Enerji Elektrik Üretim Sanayi ve Ticaret AŞ a generation licence lasting 49 years for the Şarköy Depolamalı RES project.
The licence was approved through board decision 14842-1, dated 3 September 2026. It applies to a facility planned in the Şarköy area of Tekirdağ.
According to the available information, the licensed facility will undertake two activities: electricity generation and energy storage. EPDK described the underlying project as a wind-energy development with storage.
The decision gives Reis RS Enerji formal authorisation for the project’s generation activity over the stated licence period, while also covering storage within the facility’s activity scope.
Why it matters
The approval places a wind-and-storage project in Şarköy within EPDK’s generation-licensing framework for a 49-year term. For developers, equipment providers and other market participants, the decision identifies both the project company and the activities authorised for the planned site.
Storage is expressly included alongside electricity production in the licence information. This is significant because the regulatory approval is not limited to wind generation alone; it covers the project’s stated energy-storage activity as well.
The supplied information does not provide a generating capacity, storage capacity, investment amount, technology specification, construction schedule or planned operating date. It also does not set out further project milestones beyond the licensing decision.
Readers assessing the project should therefore distinguish between the confirmed licence award and details that have not been disclosed in the available material, including the scale and delivery timetable of the facility.
What to watch
The board decision provides the key confirmed regulatory milestone: a 49-year generation licence issued on 3 September 2026. Subsequent disclosures would be needed to establish when the Şarköy facility may move into construction or operation.
Further information could clarify the technical configuration of the wind project and its storage component, as well as the capacity authorised under the licence. None of those details are contained in the evidence available for this report.
