NEW YORK, NY, June 08, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The US-GERMAN SOLAR POWER COMPANY "S&T SOLAR POWER HOLDING, LLC" announced today that it is launching a seed round funding campaign using the crowdfunding platform www.crowdfunder.com effective June 08, 2016. The company is targeting to raise up to US$10,000,000 for the development of ground mounts integrated photovoltaic systems in Turkey. The first goal is $500,000.00 USD.
The company is to generate solar power with a focus on ground mounts integrated photovoltaic systems. They are constantly looking for new opportunities across multiple regulatory regimes that are at different phases of integration in the attractive, rapidly expanding global solar market. Their fundamental strategy and positioning is simple: keep a geographically flexible, highly skilled team, which will allow them to benefit from opportunities as they arise and be unconstrained by regional borders. In addition, they target stable regulatory framework markets and remain devoted to their core belief that no single technology will prevail in the solar market during the near term, which requires them to remain technologically unconstrained. They believe in a world where the price of solar electricity is cheaper than fossil fuels, and the future of solar power is limitless.
A total of 1.6 billion people around the world are without access to electricity. With the intelligent PV systems of their EPC Contractor GruenPuls GmbH, Hopscheider Weg 46 in D-42555 Velbert, Germany it is possible to generate clean solar electricity in every country in the world. By using these systems, it is possible to quickly set up local power supplies that can generate and store electricity completely independently.
They offer a TURN-KEY PACKAGE with a performance ratio guarantee of up to 84% for all power plant blocks. They consider the investment in a solar power plant located in near of the "Lake Atatuerk Dam / Southeastern Anatolia / Turkey", with a declared net capacity of 566 MW for more than 80,000 4-person households.
The electricity produced by the power plant shall be sold to a Turkish energy provider on the basis of a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA).
The Market:
Turkey's importance in the energy market grows as a regional transit hub given its location between the oil rich Middle East, Caspian region, and Europe. Turkey is the home of the Bosporus and Dardanelles connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. Besides becoming a growing transit hub, Turkey is also a major energy market itself with a rapidly growing demand for energy. Turkey is the 17th biggest economy in the world by GDP. According to the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR), the demand for energy has been growing by 5.7% yearly on average in the last 12 years and is expected to grow by about 6% per year until 2020.
The increase of demand is expected to be mainly driven by the power generation sector, which depends highly on imported natural gas. Turkey's energy strategy for 2015-2019 focuses on securing the energy supply for the coming years, decreasing the dependence on imported energy sources as well as improving energy efficiency. In order to keep up with the increasing demand, Turkey needs to invest more in electricity, natural gas, and, renewable energy. Turkey has an installed power generation capacity of 69,681 MW with a projected capacity of 100 GW by 2023.
Although the share of the renewable energy is still relatively low in the overall Turkish energy market, it has been on an increase in the last decade as a result of Turkey's strategy for finding alternative energy resources. Turkey passed new laws incentivizing the investments in renewable energy, such as providing tax exemptions, higher feed-in tariff, and land usage fee incentives. Turkey intends to increase the electricity generation capacity powered by renewable resources to 61,000 MW by 2023, with the majority of investments being planned in wind and hydroelectric projects.
Turkey's average annual total sunshine duration is 2640 hours; a total of 7.2 hours per day, with an average total radiation intensity of 1,311 kWh/m2 per year, daily total 3.6kWh/m2. Turkey has the incredible potential to produce an average of 1,100kWh per square meter.
This makes Turkey the 2nd best country in Europe after Spain in terms of solar power investment potential.
