Şanlıurfa water utility tenders 23.9-megawatt solar plant
The World Bank-backed project will help power the public utility's operations in southeastern Türkiye, with bids due Oct. 20.
The Şanlıurfa Water and Sewerage Administration General Directorate (ŞUSKİ), a municipal utility in southeastern Türkiye, has opened a tender for a 23.9-megawatt solar plant.
The winning developer will design, procure, install and commission the plant, which is expected to meet a significant share of the utility's energy needs.
The project is part of the World Bank-funded Public and Municipal Renewable Energy Project, which supports solar installations that let public facilities in Türkiye generate their own power.
Bidders must buy the tender documents for 5,000 Turkish lira and post a $400,000 provisional guarantee. A pre-tender meeting is set for Oct. 6, and applications are due Oct. 20.
Türkiye added 2.1 gigawatts of solar capacity in the first half of 2026, bringing its total to about 26.9 gigawatts. The number of solar plants in the country passed 41,000 by the end of June, up from about 37,600 at the start of the year.
