| Work Detail |
Assystem Envy, a subsidiary of Assystem, has secured a contract with a major Turkish energy provider to support the development of a 50MW solar plant in the southern region of the Sivas province in central Anatolia. The agreement will see Assystem provide an environmental and social impact assessment in line with international best practice. Utilising Assystem’s extensive expertise in delivering environmental services, the project will benefit from a comprehensive action plan to deliver a range of ecological surveys including water and soil quality studies, noise measurements and biodiversity studies. The social aspect includes stakeholder meetings alongside surveys of households and village leaders. Kerem Sadiklar, Managing Director, Assystem Envy said: “We are delighted to be playing a role in Turkey’s energy transition. Our experience in managing complex infrastructure projects, combined with our ‘Engineering Powered by Digital’ approach means we are at the forefront of the low-carbon electricity shift.” The solar plant is being sited next to an operational 128MW wind farm, making it the first co-located renewable energy project to be sited in Turkey. It is expected to generate 100GWh/yr. As one of Turkey’s leading engineering firms, Assystem is actively engaged in a number of low-carbon energy projects set to contribute towards the country’s 2053 net zero target. This includes Turkey’s ever first nuclear power plant in Akkuyu, where Assystem is responsible for independent inspection of all structures, systems and components related to safety. |
