Turkey is a country of contrasts – from controversial political stances to innovative renewable energy projects. One such project is the floating solar island on the Keban Dam in Eastern Anatolia. This $2.2 million project with a capacity of 1 MW is set to produce 1.8 GWh annually, marking a step towards sustainable energy use.
The potential for floating solar power in Turkey is vast, with plans for solar power plants on dam reservoirs. This could generate 79.5 billion kilowatt-hours annually and help meet the country’s energy needs while conserving water. Turkey’s shift towards renewable energy is commendable, but concerns remain over its nuclear energy projects.
