Exergy has signed an agreement with Maren Maras Elektrik Üretim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. for the supply of two new geothermal power plants in Türkiye. These projects are the 33-MWe Emir GPP and the 13-MWe Nezihe Beren 2 GPP, both located in the Aydin region. Commissioning of the two power plants is expected by November 2025.

The contract was signed on October 4 by Exergy International’s Managing Director Luca Pozzoni and Kipa? Holding’s Vice Chairman Ahmet Öksüz, in the presence of Exergy Türkiye’s General Manager Erdogan Arpaci. This collaboration aims to contribute to Turkey’s sustainable energy goals.

These two binary geothermal power plants will utilize Exergy’s advanced ORC technology based on the Radial Outflow Turbine. The Emir GPP will feature a configuration with three turbines and two generators, while the Nezihe Beren 2 GPP will have one turbine and one generator. Both power plants will use air cooled condensers. Exergy’s technology will harness Maren’s geothermal resources at maximum efficiency and deliver clean baseload power to the local grid.

The project involves the local manufacturing of the turbines, generators, and other related equipment at Exergy’s subsidiary in Izmir, allowing the customer to benefit from Made-in-Turkey incentives. Once in operation, the two power plants will enable saving approximately 134,000 tons of CO2 emission per year, avoiding an equivalent fossil fuel power generation.

Maren Mara? Elektrik Üretim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is an energy company operating under Kipas Holding. The company, with significant investments in the energy sector, operates a total of seven geothermal power plants in the Ayd?n and ?zmir regions, supplying 15% of Türkiye’s geothermal energy production. With these new projects, the company aims to further increase its renewable energy capacity.

Exergy continues to contribute to Türkiye’s sustainable energy development with advanced geothermal solutions. These projects will enhance the country’s clean energy production capacity, providing significant support for environmental sustainability.
