Noteworthy Statements of HESİAD

HESİAD called for, "unlicensed energy investment permission to be given to HPPs for suitable fields provided that they are at their own fields or at the same distribution region on their own installed capacity"...

Hydroelectricity Power Plants Industry and Businessmen Association (HESİAD) made a call for unlicensed energy investment permission to be given to hydroelectricity power plant (HPP) investors for suitable fields provided that they are at their own fields or at the same distribution region on their own installed capacity, following the most recent regulation released for execution of Article 16 of Forest Law and paving ground for renewable energy based unlicensed energy investment to be made in mining facilities in forest areas TEBA:2188/ September 24, 2024.

Commented on recent regulation related to forest areas, President Elvan Tuğsuz Güven speaking on behalf of HESİAD, has noted that for entire permission processes and related technical infrastructure of HPPs completed right now, they are totally ready for unlicensed energy investments to be made as to be commissioned rapidly without hampered by required bureaucratic procedures.

Güven has underlined that extending permission for unlicensed energy investment at their own field equivalent to installed capacity of HPPs located at suitable fields, opening the way of hybrid investment permissions and using quarries and filling areas for this purpose, used in HPPs facilities term within the coverage of permissions extended to mining facilities, would secure most environment friendly and most rapid response to increasing energy requirement of our country. Güven said, “HPPs already constitute the backbone of renewable energy sources based energy generation. Solar and wind grow rapidly as well, but in terms of efficient source usage, HPPs continue to play a critical role in energy supply security as a source to be rapidly commissioned, in other word, as a ”hot spare”. Now, we have an opportunity ahead to enhance this role with unlicensed and also hybrid SPPs. We await regulatory institutions to make related regulations available urgently for taking maximum benefit of this opportunity for our country”.
