Hive Energy has opened a new regional headquarters in Ankara in Turkey, as part of a growth strategy to build a portfolio of 50MW of solar PV projects in the country.
Tolga Metin will head up the new officer as general manager, bringing experience of developing 18MWs of PV plants in the region.
The new office is located in central Ankara close to the Energy Ministry of Turkey, Electricity Distribution Company of Turkey and the Energy Market Regulatory Authority Headquarters.
Hive Energy chief executive officer Giles Redpath said: “Turkey represents the next exciting opportunity for solar in Europe.
“To date there has been very limited solar PV development and investment in the country.
“Turkey has a high performing economy and although current electricity consumption per capita is 40% lower than the OECD average this demand is forecast to develop significantly in the coming years and Hive Energy are poised to support this growth.”
