What happened
Zenkar Nakliye has been issued two separate electricity-generation licences for solar facilities incorporating energy storage in Türkiye. Each licence has a 49-year duration and relates to a different project: Zenkar 1 and Zenkar 2.
According to Enerji Günlüğü, Türkiye’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority, known by its Turkish acronym EPDK, granted the first licence for Zenkar 1 through a decision dated 10 September 2026. A further decision, dated 24 September 2026, awarded a second 49-year licence for Zenkar 2.
The projects are described as storage-equipped solar power plants. Their stated purpose is to generate electricity using solar energy.
For readers tracking project status, the immediate change is that Zenkar now holds distinct generation licences for both named facilities. The decisions apply separately rather than through a single licence covering the two projects.
Why it matters
The two decisions place Zenkar 1 and Zenkar 2 in Türkiye’s licensed power-generation framework. They also confirm that storage forms part of the project descriptions alongside solar electricity production.
Licence terms can be an important indicator of a project’s regulatory position. In this case, the regulator has assigned an identical 49-year term to each facility, while issuing the approvals on different September dates.
The decisions concern Zenkar Nakliye, identified in the report as Zenkar Nakliye İnşaat Temizlik Güvenlik Tarım ve Petrol Ürünleri Ltd. Şti. The company is therefore the named licence holder for both projects.
For market participants, the appropriate next step is to record Zenkar 1 and Zenkar 2 as separately licensed solar-and-storage facilities and distinguish their respective decision dates. The source identifies the technology, licence duration, licence holder and dates of the regulatory decisions.
What to watch
Zenkar 1 should be tracked against the 10 September 2026 decision, while Zenkar 2 should be tracked against the 24 September 2026 decision. Both are described as facilities that will produce electricity from solar energy and include storage.
The reported regulatory action is limited to the award of generation licences. It establishes two individually named licences, each lasting 49 years, for the Zenkar projects.
