ReneSola partners UCK Group to develop 116 MW solar power projects in Turkey

ReneSola has partnered with a leading Turkish solar energy solution provider UCK Group to develop a pipeline of solar power projects in Turkey with a total installed capacity of 116 MW. All of the projects are unlicensed thus qualifying for the Feed-in-Tariff of $134/Mwh.

As per the terms of the partnership agreement, UCK Group’s Berak Enerji will develop and construct the solar power plants, while ReneSola will design the plants and supply high-efficiency solar modules and inverters.

The projects will be transferred into a new joint venture in which Renesola and UCK Group will each hold 50%. The joint venture intends to own 70 MW of the operating projects by early 2017.

Xianshou Li, ReneSola’s Chief Executive Officer and Atilla Uckardes, Chief Executive Officer of UCK Group in a joint statement said, “We are excited to partner to develop this pipeline of projects in Turkey. This partnership enables both companies to gain traction on the attractive Turkish PV market, while also demonstrating our technology leadership and strong competitive advantages. We look forward to further supporting solar deployment in Turkey with our cost-effective, high quality products.”
