Aksa Energy has commissioned Turkey's first standalone BESS with a capacity of 50 MW and 61.9 MWh of storage, contributing to grid stability after successful primary frequency control tests. This facility, part of the RASA project developed in collaboration with EVE Energy, marks Aksa's entry into the ancillary services market.
In addition, Aksa BESS has been contracted for a 221 MW battery system for the Karaman DRES, a wind power project. Aksa Energy also operates the Gaziantep Pamuk facility, a hybrid plant with a 58 MW solar capacity and 48.2 MWh BESS.
Recent environmental approvals for the Eskişehir project enable further expansion into wind energy with integrated storage. These advancements underscore the shift toward hybrid power solutions in Turkey's renewable energy landscape.
