GE Vernova awarded Kalyon PV solar station: Turkey’s Kalyon PV has awarded GE Vernova a contract to supply its Flexinverter technology — which is used for solar and battery energy storage conversion — along with design and engineering services for its solar power station in Viransehir, according to a press release. Vernova’s regional services provider Inogen will handle the construction and installation. The station is expected to power Kalyon Enerji’s 157 MW PV manufacturing facility, which will be one of the first Turkish companies to produce panels only using renewable energy. The financing has not yet been disclosed.

Not the pair’s first collaboration: GE Vernova has also supplied Kalyon Enerji’s 1.35k MWp Karapinar solar plant — Turkey and Europe’s largest solar facility — in Konya Karapinar province. Construction began in 2020 and operations commenced in March 2023. The plant generates around 3 bn KWh of electricity per year.
